I live in the suburbs and am within walking distance of 3 places that sell eggs. Which is an anomaly, because yes this is one of many problems with suburban sprawl.

Me, being a suburbanite with backyard chickens and a store I can drive to in 2-3 minutes

[-] BirdyBoogleBop@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 9 months ago

So like a 5 minute walk to the store?

There are no sidewalks, bike lanes or even a shoulder on the road. I walked home from the tire shop next to the store one time last year and four people stopped to offer me a ride because it's that dangerous.

Also it's currently way below freezing here. I would still walk in those temps but not many people will, and not everyone can walk two miles each way (which is more like 1-2 hrs of walking total)

Honestly, that's the biggest problem with suburbs; that they are often purposefully designed to not be walkable.

Where I live suburbs (both those with apartment blocks and those with detached houses) usually have stores within reasonable distance

Why eggs? Are you russian?

[-] Kase@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

I'm confused, people eat eggs just about everywhere right?

[-] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

Russia's having a massive egg shortage.

The only reason I know what a Wawa is, is because of the Philadelphia International Outreach Program

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
