Where do you live that has grocery so far apart? Are you actually in the city or like a suburb of it?

I'm in Brooklyn. I can't speak to all of Brooklyn but this neighborhood has a population of 100k from Wikipedia. Where my friend used to live wikipedia says is about 120k, and they had good walkable options.

I live on the west coast where cities aren't as dense as the boroughs of NYC or most eastern states.

Ah. Yeah, that's one of the reasons I don't want to live there. Too sprawled out.
