I agree with this in general but I think lazy is the wrong descriptor.
I usually point at cities and the effects cars have had on shaping them, if there's nice convenient places to walk or ride a bicycle people will choose to do that (generally) but most US cities are terrible places to walk and worse places to ride a bicycle, everthing is too far to walk and even if there's a nice sidewalk there's no trees because of required "clear zones" on roads.
