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.

Sure. It's definitely that, and not that most North American cities are designed expressly to force you to drive even if you want a single cup of coffee or a sandwich or something.

Oh this case for sure 100% without a doubt has to prove out the point you've been obsessing over.

No possible way it could be a situation that contradicts your pre-conceived notion, adds nuance, or just isn't really relevant to it. I mean what are the odds of that ever happening? /S

As I've said, I live in a walkable city near grocery stores, that still doesn't eliminate the need to occasionally drive to one.

As someone who also does, quite frankly it does eliminate the * need * to

No, it doesn't. It eliminates the need to for you, in your specific cases.

Weird how people on this sub seem incapable of imagining lives other than their own.
