@aytoozeeusa@theistinthought@jollier_raptor I really have no opinion on any of that one way or another. I’m just here to shout down the people who think walkable cities are “impractical” because they can’t fathom leaving their house without getting into a car, or going to the store and not leaving with eight bags lol
@w8153328@theistinthought@jollier_raptor Actually come to think of it you’re still wrong in this scenario lol bc if you go shopping for the week let’s say and I go for the day for example I’m still eating at least one day of fresh food whereas you’re spreading yours out over the week
@w8153328@theistinthought@jollier_raptor It’s true that if a store got one shipment of food ever and we both went right away to pick some up and then I also went the next day then my food would not be fresher than yours. I will give you that. But in any other situation (e.g. reality) you’re wrong.
@shr_eax@theistinthought@jollier_raptor When you go shopping more often, you are shopping for a shorter length of time into the future, so you are eating the food sooner after you buy it. Let’s say fruit gets delivered to the store on Tuesdays and you shop Mondays but I shop Mon and thur. Who is eating fresher fruit?
@LauriLinnea@theistinthought@jollier_raptor Lol does walking make you leftist? For real tho who is trying to tell you how to live? Is anyone actually? Feels like that’s what you were trying to do by talking down about walking cities.
@LauriLinnea@theistinthought@jollier_raptor I don’t have to imagine it. I live in this place, and I love it. There’s nothing impractical about it. If you don’t like being near other people then it absolutely is not where you should live. That’s doesn’t make it impractical. That just means that you don’t want to live here.
@LauriLinnea@theistinthought@jollier_raptor I think maybe we’ve lost the plot here. Weren’t you saying that a walkable city is bad? If you live too far from the store to walk, I wouldn’t call that a walkable city…
@LordTemplar1@AaronGogley@theistinthought Happy that you’ve moved on from the choice thing. And I would agree that a person in a walkable city walks more than a person driving to the store. Didn’t really need a diagram for that. But I see that as a positive. I like walking. It’s healthy. Its free. I see interesting stuff

@LauriLinnea@theistinthought@jollier_raptor I really thought you were arguing that walking was bad lol but I think maybe you just completely overestimate how long a shopping run takes if you aren’t shopping for the whole week and you don’t have to drive
@AaronGogley@LordTemplar1@theistinthought I just think you maybe don’t know what you’re talking about quite possibly. I can easily walk to dozens of stores and cover less ground than a Costco parking lot.
@theistinthought I think people are really having a hard time conceptualizing how convenient it is to have everything so close by. I have 2 bodegs and a hardware store at the end of my block, a small grocery store a block away, and bigger one a block past that.
