  Absolutely agreed. Just about everything within 10 minutes drive is a total fantasy in my experience. Whether you’re in the suburbs driving or walking in the urban centre. The only difference is that walking is much more pleasant. That said, if you expand your time radius to 15 minutes, and allow the use of bikes and/or a good subway system, “just about everything” becomes very realistic.

    Not everyone can or wants to ride a bike everywhere. Stop this fallacious thinking. Many people don’t care about and will never care about using bikes, nor should they be forced to. I also have no interest in waiting around for a subway car. It’s nice to just hop into my car and get to my destination (most within 15 minutes of my home) and get back. I don’t have time to wait around or ride a bike in the rain. The entire northern suburbs in my city have been designed around my “evil” car beliefs. It’s worked so well that our city population keeps declining and my area just keeps adding more and more houses and businesses. You like your way, I’ll live mine.
