one reason why suburbs or even cities like Denver feel less walkable are bc the buildings facing streets are just too wide. when you’re walking past 100 ft of walmart wall, there’s nothing to engage with. no entryways, no people, no life. but streets with narrower buildings—20 ft or less—give you much more to interact with. more shops, more neighbors, more texture. we’re built for human-scale places, not oversized slabs made for cars.

reminded of Salt Lake which has this problem doubled up - the city blocks themselves are _huge_ so in addition to wide buildings, you have wide blocks, and it just takes longer to get around on foot, even if they have the usuals (bike lanes etc)
