It's also temperature. I'm not walking in 100 degrees, even 3 blocks because I'm soaked when I get there and stink.

The spanish shut down in mid day due to heat, and stay up late to take advantage of cooler nights. We can't expect every society to just emulate the spanish (who, probably unrelated to their mid day shut down, are not in an excellent financial position now.)

Get there earlier and relax in the AC? Bring a change of clothes and a stick of deodorant? Cool off with water and baby wipes in the bathroom? Deal with being sweaty and smelly.

Whether that is worth it or not to you is up to you to decide. But you've just found another excuse for driving when walking is possible (not possible for everyone, but possible for some).

All your suggestions are lots less convenient. Carrying clothes and deoderant, having to go early and sponge bathe mtself, or putting other people off when they smell me. I shouldnt have to do those for a few blocks walk like to and from lunch.
