Some people are not able to, or do not wish to drive every time they want something to eat. Proximity to a grocery store sounds like a good metric. It's the european model of shopping every day for that days meal, vs the U.S. model of stocking up at Costco.
- Jemaclus 12y agoTrue. I was more remarking on the fact that the grocery store metric seemed to be the primary one, as opposed to just one of a great many. It's definitely the kind of thing I would consider, but I'd also consider more things like price per square foot, number of bedrooms, neighborhood quality, distance to schools, etc. That's why I said "kinda strange" and not something harsher.
