Edit: of course this is satire. The power of the reading comprehension devil grows stronger every day 😢

As an American I need you to understand that what you're saying sounds like a deep parody here. We have some major cities that are comfortable to live in without a car, but they're few and far between.
To us a grocery store is a place you go to rather than swing by real quick. Its changing in some cities, and I've even lived in a suburb with walkable groceries, but its really not the norm.

i have no words honestly. i wasn't even talking about cities, so far all European cities i've visited were walkable, i was thinking mid size towns and even villages. Basically if your place of residence can't be missed if you blink as you drive by there's probably at least a grocery store in it, and more frequent a general store with most basics you'd need in a day-to-day life next to groceries
