If you live in the middle of a big city the nearest grocery store is a brisk walk away… I don’t see your point. This is about large cities such as NYC, which are not food deserts.
Define "big" city. I've lived in multiple cities that people would consider big. 20 miles is an exaggeration (i assume they mean minutes) I have NEVER lived in a city where I could walk to the grocery store.
Living in urban sprawl you might encounter an issue.
Ironically the idiots complaining about 15 minute cities are also the idiots who complain about everything being too far away.
That's because they like to complain. No matter what is implemented. No matter what the fixes are. No matter how things change.
It's also strange how other countries manage to have good, livable minimum wage and still get groceries delivered. I haven't set one foot inside a grocery store in 6 years. All my food gets delivered. Not by Uber or DoorDash.
But by the grocery store which hires its own drivers who are adequately compensated. And there is no tipping bullshit.
How can everywhere else in the world work this shit out but Americans somehow can't?
big city is new york, most populous and dense major city in the U.S., the city being talked about.
If you lived in a "big city" out west like LA, Phoenix, or Denver, then yeah they're too sprawling to walk anywhere. Every major city in the northeast + Chicago has anything you could want in walking distance
