The average walking speed is roughly 2.5mi/hr - So 24 minutes per mile. You want stores every 1/12 of a mile? That's unsustainable over a wide area such as the USA. It's not sustainable to do such a thing in anything except for the most population dense areas, and nobody in this community seems to understand that there are people who don't like constantly being around other people
People make noise. For some of us, we can't stand it. Living away from populated areas is a matter of sanity, and peace, and quiet.
Do you think there's a chance that catering towards anti-social attitudes is actually a bad thing for society, and that kind of thing might itself be the reason you so strongly feel this way about other people that you would come here and tell us we're not allowed to reorganize cities thus that they allow us to be near people?
We get it, you don't like cities. Nobody is telling you that you have to live in a city. But our cities should not be designed to cater to people who don't like cities.
Biking. Public transport. And people live in cities. Rural areas can still have their mile-by-mile grid. Maybe some regular traffic calming.
Have you SEEN the people who take public transport? The drug addicts, and the mentally ill that decide they're gonna piss all over the seats? Yeah, I'll take my car -- where I can avoid all that bullshit.
That's an issue of low mental health trearment availability and anti-loitering issues.
