Could be like my neighborhood and that’s the closest ‘general store’ around. Of course unlike there we’ve got an actual grocery store and other services not much farther but you get the idea.
Sidewalks and 15-25mph speed limits go a long way. Would be nice if there was little community stores for staples embedded in the neighborhood, but that’s a foreign concept in American suburbs
It isn’t there because of zoning practices separating living areas from businesses, which is often decided at the local level. Just gotta convince all your neighbors that they should be good with it too…
Be sure to add side walks with it. My childhood neighborhood now has a little strip mall with some snack shops. They are nice, but no safe way to walk to it. Short walk, but still.
Not a strong example of walkable communities, it’s quite pathetic in fact. Is this satire?
I think it has to be satire.
If it’s not satire, America has apparently regressed to a median state of “mentally challenged”.
“Walkable” to a gas station is a strong indication of satire.

More walkable than some places. At least there is a side walk.

I was just talking about this with my wife yesterday. It would be so nice if there was a small market in our suburban neighborhood

I mean it’s the US, could be true.
yeah we have sidewalks but they come with bullets and racists.
Walking while black is a criminal offence.
I can’t think of any reason someone would post this without a hint of irony, but nowadays it’s impossible to tell for sure
The tiny dot and 3.7 miles distance is a blatantly obvious use of irony.
