How far away are your grocery stores in a city? I've always lived within a walking distance to a grocery store, also when in a town of under 10k people. Currently I live in a major European city and have at least seven grocery stores within one kilometer radius.
- blizdiddy 5y agoThat is not how American cities work at all. They are built for cars, and residents who can't afford cars have a significantly worse standard of living and access to food.
- okprod 5y agoThere's a convenience store (Walgreens) a couple blocks away; the closest grocery store to me is a 25 minute walk, but mostly highway/no sidewalk. I did it once when I first moved here but ended up getting an Uber back. There isn't public transit that stops there. Before here I lived in downtown Boston, and that was very convenient for walking to markets.
