The house I grew up, in a rural area, there's a small restaurant we would frequently get food from less than 2,000 ft away. We would have to drive to pick up because it was unsafe to walk there. Busy two lane road with drainage ditches on both sides of the road. Also, not having a car meant you didn't go anywhere. When my grandmothers stopped driving, they stayed cooped in the house all day (except for one, now deceased, that tended to her small garden).
