and for shorter distances (like grocery stores and stuff) you can usually just walk.
Sometimes. Depending on your neighborhood, it might be a ridiculously long walk to get to the grocery store. At my parents’ house it is a 30 minute walk with up to a 200ft change in elevation to get to the nearest grocery store.
City planning needs to allow for grocery stores to be better spread out within neighborhoods.
Yeah, it’s also very country dependent. I live in the U.S. so I am kinda fucked if I want my transportation to the grocery store to be anything other than a car.
I live in a fairly walkable, semi-urban area in a large city (over 3 million) in the US. The closest stores are .7, .9 and 1.1 miles away which is 1100 meters through 1750 meters.

idk I’ve never been to a place where a grocery store is more then 600m away (even in remote villages…) but that depends on the country i guess…
