Americans would never go for this. We love our cars and we walk as little as is humanly possible.

American cities are different. You can't go anywhere without a car. In Europe, cities were built in a time when people were walking short distances. If you live in the city center, you do not need a car - everything, from coffee house, baker to post office, is close - If you want to travel a longer distance, public transportation are good and fast. Cars are more a burden than a support, they stink, they are noisy, they are dirty.
It has nothing to do with "love". Practicability makes law.
