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.

This is naiive and dumb (like a lot of posts in this community).

If you drove to the grocery store, then you almost certainly have more groceries than are going to be comfortable to carry back by hand.

I mean if you can walk to the grocery store in a reasonable amount of time you'll be able to divide those groceries over multiple visits and not have to deal with this.

Not to mention, cargo bikes are a thing.

Not just cargo bikes. I've got a folding bike (small apartment) with two panniers and a backpack. Sure it's not car level but its pretty good for grabbing groceries.

And it should be noted, Columbus has a pretty bad food desert problem.
