Car dependency and pedestrian facilities vary greatly between countries, have you thought about that?

Many Americans simply don't have sidewalks or any other safe routes to navigate to many restaurants and other places, nor do they have sufficiently developed public transport in those same areas (if at all).

Even in Russia, in cities built and/or amended by the Soviets to be walkable or at least accessible via public transport, there's a lot of day-to-day places you're not going to be able to reach without a car unless you have literal hours in your day outside work and other chores; not to mention some people not having the luxury of being able to walk as easily or at all.
