Parking kills businesses, not bikes or buses

This is 500m. You would actually walk this if you had a car right in front of you?

I'd bike it for sure but otherwise I'd definitely drive.

Unless I'm in enough of a hurry to not be able to spend 15 minutes walking or I need to haul stuff, absolutely.

500m is around 6 minutes walk for a normal person (5km/hour or 3 mph). Perhaps 10 if you are a slow walker due to age etc. Any delay with parking or traffic means that driving won't save you much.

I just walked about 1km and back to a suburban market to get my lunch.

I do it all the time - longer, even. It’s really not that far.
