    It tends to be much easier in walkable/well designed areas because you have a much higher density of grocery stores.

    I have about 8 within a 2-10 minute walk. So I don’t really do a big weekly shop, but rather a couple small ones throughout the week.

    So yeah, depends hugely on how human-friendly the area is

      human-friendly as in you can live there in poverty or human-friendly as in it’s great if you’re middle class?

        I mean, being poor sucks everywhere, but there’s a lot of intermediate steps between dense well-designed city and car-centric hellhole. Arguably the latter is way worse if you can’t afgord a car.

        I actually live mostly surrounded by public housing! But I’m also not in the US…

        The poorest part of my city is also the most densely populated and has an absolute shit-load of walkable grocery stores.
