@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars All of the above except university which would be an approx. 40 minutes walk or 10 minutes by bike.

@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars Of that list, if you don’t live in a 15m walk of most of them you either live on a rural block/farm or a dystopian hellscape. Okay outer suburbs might need to stretch it to 20m or allow for scooter use to speed up the walking speed.

All but 4, I can get to. University, theatre, sports arena, and shopping mall.

Although those four are a 5-10 minute Uber

I’m actually surprised that my area of Wisconsin has the majority of these within a 15 minute walk. Bar included, of course. It makes me appreciate my neighborhood more.

@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars I live in a rural village and can get to 11 of those within a 3 minute walk.

I’m moving to a large town soon where it’ll go up to the full list.

I can’t imagine having to drive everywhere.

Hope Americans notice they are being programmed for future smart cities. You can see how they work like in China, working side by side with Digital ID and CBDC.

@ajsadauskas
And the amount of grocery stores i can reach within a 15 minutes walk must be at least 80, easily.
This town is still structured around small family businesses.
@fuck_cars

One of the really interesting things about reading this thread is noticing how these places clearly mean different things to different people.

Like one person says how “can somebody not want a pub in their neighborhood?” A pub and a bar might not mean the same thing to everyone. To some people a bar might mean something much closer to a night club and a pub something much closer to a restaurant.

Gas station doesn’t mean convenience store to me AT ALL. To me it’s only a place for buying gas. I would never go to one unless I was buying gas at the same time.

Is what I call a green grocer/fruit market what other people call a grocery store?

The questions abound…

@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars When I first moved to #Ottawa, I picked a place wisely and in a 15 minute walk I could get to a grocery store, a park, two pharmacies, a bus stop (main transit station), two restaurants, a post office, two banks, a gas station, an elementary school, a barber shop, a shopping mall, and a bar.

Since then, the gas station and the shopping mall have been torn down, so I also lost a barber shop, a bar, and the better restaurant. Post office also disappeared.

@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars
It’s an easy yes, most of this is more 5-10 minutes.
Sports arena and university takes a bike or public transport, but are still very easy to reach in 20 minutes that way.

@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars I also don’t get A Bar being so low. The bar is exactly the place I WANT people to be walking to instead of driving. Perhaps this is just a limitation of the polling method; these responses are mostly just gut reactions, not carefully considered positions.

As an Englishman, I counted 8 of these.

@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars 7 of these are available to me, but the park closes at sundown, I don’t have children, hair, or drink outside my home. The only one I use is the bus stop.

high rise strip malls with conveyor belts. ala Jetsons. my robovac has a lot to learn

@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars At the corner of my road, I have:
- Bakery (that took over the shops left and right because they kept winning awards)

- GP (although always booked out)
- Petrol Station chain which sells marked-up cornerstore stuff, don’t get milk there it’s 6 bucks
