LA's a bad example; while there may not be a 7-Eleven every hundred meters, there's certainly one within a mile radius of most people in the city.

- esyir 7y agoA mile is a somewhat long distance to walk though. A hundred meters takes less than a minute, enough that I'll just pop out and get something random. the 10min++ to walk a mile is an exponential increase in friction.
- crimsonalucard 7y agoNobody walks in LA or most of california. You drive everywhere you need to go. CA is suburban with the exception of SF. A mile is a short drive. A convenience store every 100m is kind of excessive.
- asdff 7y agoIt depends on where you live. Tons of people go car free in CA, even in LA. Rent a car for the road trip, or a truck for ikea. A mile might be a short distance, but a long time and a longer park depending on the time of day. There are a lot more people motorcycling/biking/skateboarding/scootering in LA than ten years ago, because there are too many cars, not enough spots, and not enough space on the road to move them. And if you work downtown there are lots of places you can live that fall along the limited rail lines.
- asdff 7y ago1 mile = 20 minute walk, 10 minute skateboard, 5 min bike, 3 min electric scooter, 2 min electric bike, for reference.
