> Also I prefer not be limited in my shopping choices just to the single shop that happens to be in my building or on my block...

I live in a mid-sized European city, and I have literally dozens of shops within 10-minute walking distance of home, as well as several banks, primary and high school, health center, several playgrounds, parks, gyms, plenty of bars and restaurants, etc.

>> dozens of shops

Do they all sell the same goods, or do you have "dozens of shops" that all specialize in a few things, like you have a bakery, coffee shop, produce shop, butcher,hardware store, etc all as independent shops

Or do you have a Kroger, Mejier, Walmart, HEB, Lowes, and HomeDepot style shopping all with in walking distance...

Even if you focus on a category of shops what I said is still true, for most categories. Dozens of food shops, dozens of bakeries, dozens of fruit shops, dozens of clothes shops, dozens of supermarkets, maybe 5 or 6 hardware stores.
