That's a very narrow view of how people get around. Is it based on a rural experience? I've never been outside of walking distance of a small shop for food shopping.

I'd be interested to know whether a typical person's idea of what "walking distance" is has decreased or not over recent years.

In New York, yes. In LA, absolutely not. When I lived in LA, the closest shop was 3 miles down a canyon.

I live near downtown LA and the closest grocery store is 2 miles from me.
