>where would you shop for groceries or other domestic services?
What kind of weird question is this? "Downtowns" are _more_ accessible for people, not less. That's why they are more expensive by the foot.
Are you under the belief that there are no markets or services in cities? This seems like a perspective you can get from only living in the suburban non-sense that America has constructed.
- freehunter 6y agoYou'd be surprised. Maybe not Chicago, but there are a lot of cities with zero grocery stores. It was big news in my Midwestern city when a Meijer went in downtown because people living downtown used to have to drive or take the bus outside of the city to do their grocery shopping. It's always a big question in my city, "can you live here without a car?" and most of it has historically hinged on grocery shopping.
- beart 6y agoI think we're from the same city. However I was fortunate enough to live within walking distance of a market a few miles outside of downtown before moving.

- chapium 6y agoWhy presume what I believe? I live in the city and the closer I get to the core of the city the fewer venues there are for domestic living and everything turns into restaurants and offices.
- pgsbathhouse2 6y ago>Why presume what I believe? It was a question. You asked the question, and it can only be asked as a non-rhetorical question if it is predicated on ignorance and some a priori perspective. >I live in the city Are you talking about an "actual" city, or an urban sprawl?
