You shouldn't need to catch the train to get to the grocery store. There should be one walking distance from your house. American city planners don't allow grocery stores to be built in residential zones because they're bad at their jobs.

There's no grocery store by my house because there's only 10 other houses by my house. Lol you have no clue what you're talking about.

America is big and Europe is old.

The city planners put your house in the wrong place.

It's not a city you silly goose.

I sought this house, and I'm hardly "remote".

Are you really suggesting someone dictate where I live? This isn't a communist country with worker housing.

I think it's just a difference between European countries with good government and the rest of the world in the way big industrial areas were repurposed after industrial production moved to other parts of the world. In the last 30-40 years.

They may expect a good modern city to look like some old-old districts formed in the times where traveling far for groceries wasn't an option, surrounded by those big repurposed areas with regular planning and a lot of modern bright shiny stuff on the place of old factories, warehouses etc, and with good public transport.

I'm not contesting that eu planning is strong. Their urban areas and even suburban areas are very well connected.

But they are tiny.
