Chosen not to walk, either out of the convenience of using a car, or out of laziness. Sometimes, a car is necessary, but not for shorter trips. That said, I opt to take my car because the nearest grocery store from my campus is about 2 miles away in a busy commercial area with no sidewalks, and it's dangerous to walk. But the campus itself is very walkable, my girlfriend and I go for walks on occasion and those are always fun. The city itself is walkable too after you get there. I like to drive down to one of a few streets, park the car, and then start walking for the rest of the adventure. Walking isn't always the best option, but I enjoy it.
