By the time we have walkable cities we'll probably have cybernetic legs and hover mobility scooters

Quickest thing to notice about the part of the town I'm in near the senior center, where the walking trails go through it there's SIGNIFICANTLY more seating and trash cans. There's benches spaced out around the rest of town too but honestly the buses are probably more reliable for that, unless it's a busy day or time and you have to stand there too. Downtown has a lot of public seating too but the spacing is weird and it's just a busy area where that seating might be taken, or sticky, because there's a bunch of ice cream shops over there and people dripping or spilling has become enough of an issue that it's not uncommon to see a "NO ICE CREAM" sign.
Major cities are a PitA
