Are we talking 3-5 min walk close? Just want to establish whether you actually lived in the kind of place people are talking about here.
A 5 min walk with groceries shouldn't be burdensome. A 25 min walk would be.
- lultimouomo 7y agoHe's complaining about having to carry groceries from the car to the elevator, so I don't think he would consider a 5 min walk with groceries "fine".
- graeme 7y agoTrue. This seems related to the general decline in fitness of the American population, assuming OP is American. Grip strength has declined massively since the 1980s. A short walk with bags shouldn't be hard or even unpleasant for the typical adult.
- cortesoft 7y agoI am shopping for a family of four, and often have two small children with me. It was a lot easier when it was just for me. I now get enough groceries per trip that there is no way I could carry them all home by myself.
- graeme 7y agoFair point, I think most families of four might have moved out of my neighbourhood. There are a lot of families of three, but I think they move elsewhere once there is a fourth.
