@tost @chjara I like having enough room to have animals and grow my own food. The stores I go to most frequently are local businesses that are fully sustained by local commerce although most of the customers do drive. There is still a 7/11 2 minutes walking distance from my home if I absolutely need to hit a store quickly, but kids can play in the street without worrying too much about getting hit, and every house has a yard. Also you can recognize most of the people you see on a day to day basis.
