@destructdisc As a European, I find this sad. I have a dozen stores within 10 minutes of walking and I never take my car to go shopping. Having to drive everywhere is like having a paywall for almost every activity in your life.
It's exactly like that.
Yep, and most of our public destinations involve spending money on top of that.

I think the key is not living in a rural area.
My city is in the top 150 biggest cities in the US with a little under 200k people. I can't argue that this place compares to a million+ sized city when it comes to urban-ness because it doesn't but I don't consider it rural. The nearest grocery store is 15 minutes but unless I want to work retail or food service there aren't many jobs closer than about a 45-60 minute walk.
