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

Huh?

Sits on the ground

I don't know what's going on here.

If you're like me and have to sit down frequently for low blood pressure reasons, sure. But if you have to sit down for mobility disability reasons that unfortunately just won't do because it'll be hard to sit down so low let alone get back up.

Three minutes isn't a long walk for an old person either, unless they're pretty badly disabled or such, and at that point they'll have walkers with built in seating, or be in a wheelchair with a carer already.

I agree we need more public seating, and more that's comfortable and not designed to contort you in weird ways. But seats every three minutes walk? That's kinda insane :-P
