One of my biggest gripes with non-NYC US cities is walkability 

It’s important to me because when you walk, or use public transportation, you see people you see their faces you have empathy. 

When you’re in a car you don’t see peoples faces, you mostly see only people that you choose to see.

Agreed, I detest how walking space is an usually not planned in our (US) infrastructure. Some cities are better, designing walking and cycling lanes when improving roads; but where I'm at, that's not even considered in the planning or discussion stages. Public trans is non-existent in big chunks of the state I'm in.

I miss the trains in Tokyo, it was nice to see an option where you could live in a huge city and never need a car.

One of my favorite aspects of travel going places where no car is needed. Sometimes I have to accept renting a car is the best option, but I’m so happy when I can drop off the car and get back to walking.

The relentless focus and support of public infrastructure in transportation in Tokyo makes having a car pretty much just a luxury – yeah I love Tokyo as well
