    Well I was also thinking in terms of clinics, medicine stores, schools, etc. But apparently even having groceries within walking distance is a new experience for the yanks

        Where I live, there’s a grocery store around the corner, just need to walk the length of the apartment building - so maybe 5 minutes tops. A kindergarten is directly next door, and a school just beyond that - I’d say 10+ minutes walk. Two other groceries, multiple drug stores and the outpatient clinic are 10-15 minutes walk, they’re next to the road.

        I don’t know how people live not like that. Not sure I want to know. I guess they have less noise from the neighbors?

              im not sure if this chain is outside of the U.S., but its called Aldi and its reasonably big but super cheap. and if i need anything bigger there is a Meijer about 5 minutes away (also not sure if Meijer is an international thing)
