This is very telling

even though it was like 1.5 miles...

It should be the other way round "People drive to stuff, even though it's only 1.5 miles".

But 1.5 miles in Phoenix is not necessarily as 1.5 miles elsewhere. The sun is oppressive and actively trying to kill you there.

I can also imagine walking through 1.5 miles of Phoenix sprawl is dreadfully boring, compared to somewhere like San Francisco or Berkeley.
