I believe that now days walking a dog has to do more with the owner(wanting to show off or them wanting to be seen and possibly meeting someone they are not familiar with)
Most homes in TV aren't fenced... And leaving a dog outside in a veranda home or a CY Villa is dangerous for the dog...

Dogs need daily exercise. How do you suggest they get said exercise without walking them?

When you were "growing up in MN", odds are you played with your dog outside.

I'd wager that is just a tad more difficult in a 55+ community...
