Perhaps you shop at a little grocery store instead of Walmart, or you take the bus or train instead of driving a car. Maybe its that you care about poor people, or did graffiti as a kid. Perhaps you just vote democrat.
I go to four different stores to do my bi-weekly grocery/produce shopping. I don't even know where the closest Walmart to here is, to be honest with you. Also, I walk and take the subway everywhere - I hail a taxi or call a car service a few times per month, but never drive myself - I don't have a car.

I cosign this when I lived in NYC...different markets have different things you like! One for produce, another for flowers, another for that special sparkling natural juice you like, lol. And it required full-scale planning to find most big-box stores.
Oh yeah, and I carried my own lunch tote that said "live organic" that I carried with me on subway rides along with a copy of the Wall Street Journal.

Keep walking across the street even though the light's against me and cars are coming, gauging that I have enough time to do so and yet not running to get out of the way.
Or hold my hand up to the bus turning the corner as I'm crossing the street and say, "HEY, I'm WALKING here."
And say hello occasionally to the crazy babbling schizophrenic on the park bench as I pass.

I don't think that's really particular to cities. Well, maybe not the NYC metro area. I don't know if people do it in other metro areas. I just moved to Long Island, about 15 miles outside the city. The supermarkets are really close together, so I go to different stores for different things. Maybe it's not as easy in other areas where the stores are further apart? Don't know.

Biked 15 miles to work. Didn't drive for weeks at a time. Partied 'till 9AM.
Ugh, don't remind me that I don't live there anymore.
