You don’t have to move to Europe to live a 5 min walk from basically any store you would want to visit on a daily basis. But you probably do have to spend more than you can afford or move to a different town. North american cities are terribly designed and walkable neighbourhoods are sparse and in high demand.
I think its a bit silly to expect everyone to want to live in the exact same way though. Especially if it can feel cramped and claustrophobic to them.
Thank you. I currently live in a cramped housing development and I fucking hate it. I want live far enough from people that I can do loud shit without being self conscious about disturbing them and go outside without looking into 12 other back yards. I’d gladly drive more for that. The examples of walkable cities I’ve seen look like hell to me.
We’re not all French, my boy, with baguette shops on every corner.
hehe, suburbs.

I dont mind living a little further from a retail area of the city. It’d be nice to have better public transit, though.
