They probably had to admit at some point in the re-envisioning process that 99.9% of their stores are in locations that require driving for their customers. I agree they could've gone mixed use and built up, but this is clearly their suburban/exurban model for places where land is still cheap and public trans is spotty.
I actually have to give them some credit for doing everything they can to blow up the big box model without completely tearing down their business model. if you know anything about the history of Wal Mart, this is a huge progressive step for them.
