Soy una limpiaparabrisa

Within a 10-15min walk, I could get to 2 different larger malls that had facilities such as a library and connects directly to the subway station, a light rail station and a bus interchange.

I could literally wake up at 2a.m. and walk to the 7-Eleven to get a slushie and a sandwich if I wanted. That was how convenient it was. I didn't need to spend hours commuting to and from the doctor's if I didn't feel well enough for work.

Grocery shopping is a part of many people's daily routine. We go to the market or supermarket on the same day we plan to cook.

And this is common here. We're a small city state, true, so the closeness of everything is kinda forced on us, but even so, neighborhoods are planned in such a way that everyone can easily access a variety of goods and services without too much hassle. And we do use little carts! They're useful and practical things!

literally everyone has one of these by the door. you take this with you.

the grocery store is usually on your same block or just a 1-2 minute walk away.

And grocery stores in cities DELIVER. Even grocery stores that don't normally deliver, like Trader Joe's, will delivery to a certain radius around them. There's grocery delivery services in cities, where you can only order a delivery bc they have no store they just operate as delivery. They are cheap too.

grocery stores in cities also pack all your groceries into two of those big paper bags if you tell them you're using the train. Some places like Trader Joe's just automatically pack everything in two bags bc they assume you are using the train to get home and need to be able to carry it.

the only disadvantage to cities is going to IKEA doesn't work so well there. Costco is a little difficult too. But regular groceries? Yeah we have systems for that.
