I would prefer to be able to walk to everything I need. But unfortunately, that usually comes with a lot of other problems I'm not interested in.

The fact is that in a modern economy many things are shipped from business to business and from business to individuals. Laziness has nothing to do with it. Everything thats available in local businesses also has to come from somewhere.

Many things must go through many hands before they become available across the street. There's no reason a human being has to chauffeur things from place to place.
