    How many people live a 5 minute walk from a grocery store?

    That’s part of what we want to change. I live a 3 min walk from the grocery store and it’s fucking glorious. Better designed cities are better for everyone.

      My main problem with this line of thinking is that our cities already exist as they are, and it would take Herculean effort from the government, citizens, and companies in order to raze and rebuild them in a more ideal way.

      My city passed mixed use zoning to tackle exactly this years ago and nothing has changed.
