Sure, so why are the right wing so against having supermarkets that close?
- bluGill 2y agoThey are not, at least no more than anyone else. nimby covers all sides of the asile. most live within a 10 minute drive of a supermarket and are happy with that. Food deserts are generally very left wing - poor people (or framers who are obviously to rural to get anything)
- rendx 2y agoDo you realize that the topic was _walking_ distance, not driving? I live in a German city where I do not even have to walk a street with cars to get to a super market, a couple of restaurants, three bakeries, barber shop, drugstore, pharmacy, a butcher, a bookshop, a general supplies store, a post office, newspaper/tobacco store, a public library, about a dozen or more doctors and dentists, a massage studio, therapists, two tailors, a bunch of other shops like clothing and such, a cinema, multiple bus stops, a subway station, a park, multiple playgrounds, etc. Once a week there's a larger food market with fresh produce. There are office buildings, a kindergarden/preschool, a church, three hotels. All within 5 minutes of _walking_ distance. All walkable on foot paths without even seeing or hearing the annoyance of a car. If you cross even just one street, there's a school and a lot more things. I can take a public bus two stops to a large asia market (or a 20min walk/10min bike ride). There's currently a 50 Euro monthly train pass that is valid for all regional/subway trains and busses all across Germany, so I can simply hop on and off whenever I want. 10 minutes by subway to the main train station and city center, where a lot more can be reached by 5 more minutes of walking. And no, I am not limited by any of that. It just _adds_ options and convenience.
