Same here. I do admit I do a lot of walking. I walk to work, and when
I was in college, I would walk to the park& ride, ride the bus to the
university, then walk around the campus and often places nearby.

But even if I never walked anywhere from home, I certainly have to
cross streets to go places.

When i had jury duty, the bus stops were than a block away from the
courtouse. Parking lots were further away too.

Just last week, we went to a cat show in Seaside, Oregon. The parking
lot was across the street from the show hall. We also won some gift
certificates for some local shops. There was very littel street
parking, so we parked in a lot a street over and down a block. It was
not a long walk at all, but we had to cross two streets. I can't
imagine anybody thinking that was a big deal. Or unusual.
