I avoid having to deal with crosswalks if I can. I also regularly make a 1/2 mile drive to a fast food restaurant.
Do you live in a city or a suburb?
It's like a dense suburbish area. There are both plazas/malls/grocery stores with normal parking and areas set up like small imitation city blocks with parallel parking or no immediate parking. I don't like having to deal with street parking either unless it's a nice clear zone.
