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.

Buildings can be wide but street facade should be separated into components. This was basic common knowledge amongst architects back in the day.
