This is apparently in Columbus, Ohio – a pretty major city by any stretch of the imagination.
And yet there are people who rail (geddit?) against 15-minute cities and efficient public transit that ensures no one ever gets stuck like this.

Similar in Turku, Finland.
And I live on the very edges of the city. 500m to a store and pharmacy, supermarket a bit further. But there’s buses that go like every 7 min during the day.
Now they’re also opening more cross city lines, so that’ll make it so that I have a bus stop outside my building that will take me to one of the largest malls in Finland in a few minutes. And the other connection takes me to the centre of the city which has a mall even larger by sales.
I’ve not owned a car for years, and even when I buy lots of groceries, the bus connections are so good that I’ve not needed a car. I’m a single guy though, but sometimes I’ll have like 25kg of groceries on me when I weigh myself for the luls. A backpack and bags in both hands.
If I need something bigger that requires a car, I can use a taxi or loan a car from a friend.
