Sounds like, I’m in a fairly ideal suburb for everything I need but the distances can be far for things I want
My biggest mental shift was instead of “driving if it makes sense to drive” to “driving if it doesn’t make sense to walk/bike/transit.”
Basically I look at all other methods of transit/destinations first; then drive only if required.
Biggest example: I usually take the bike and trailer to drop my kid off at daycare on the way to work. Weather hasn’t stopped me yet; but if the school busses are canceled, I will drive because there’s a marked increase in more drivers paying less attention on the roads I must take. If I had separated bike facilities I could still bike.
