>> walking in a suburban area of TX is kind of a nightmare because it's scaled for cars not humans which makes walking unpleasant and sometimes dangerous
I'm more of a suburb guy, so this is sort of arguing against my position, but...
So back when software developers used to travel, like 3 years ago, I went to Texas for a conference, and I stayed at a hotel in some exurban area. Walking back from the grocery store that was maybe a quarter mile from the hotel not one but two cars stopped and people asked me if I needed a ride.

Think I'm fine, thank you!
