There are inner ring suburbs in the US that have good transit access, short bike trips to jobs, and even dense portions with trendy bars and restaurants, but getting groceries for a family there can still kinda suck. Even if the store is only a mile away, liquids are very heavy.
I've have never used instacart though.
- jdhn 10y agoWhat cities are these dense inner ring suburbs near? The only ones I can think of that would have dense inner ring suburbs are NYC, Boston, or Philly.
- uxp100 10y agoDense was incorrect, in retrospect. Let's say denser than stereotypical suburbia. Single family homes and duplexes, few garages. Subdivisions from around 1910 or so. Areas, which are acceptable for car-less living for some people, but not great. I lived in Santa Clara without a car for years. It was not terrible. Where I live now is better, technically not a suburb, but a pretty suburban feel, mostly duplexes.
