But it's not like that is the distinguishing factor between a suburb and a city center.
From my suburb house I can walk to one supermarket in 5 minutes and to another one in maybe 6-7 minutes. Yet it's definitely a suburb.

Obviously some people in my vicinity live right next to the store but the average distance is substantially larger for the majority of people in the area.
So take an example: let's say you want to go grocery shopping from your home in a walk-able urban center, it could be a 10 minute walk to get that done.
In my suburban neighborhood a 6 minute drive to the nearest grocery store becomes a 50 minute walk along 3 lane highways.
