Where I live there are some suburban areas that were built in the 1910’s-20’s. It is mostly single and duplex homes, but every few streets or so there’s a largish commercial building on a corner that would have had a grocery, laundromat, barber/salon etc. We had this “15 minute city” shit figured out 100 years ago ffs.
Unfortunately most of these buildings are either vacant or were converted into houses years ago. Some of them are still used for their original intended purpose and people in the neighborhoods do walk to them.
