I feel like TC literally just doesn't understand the concept of a walkable city.

The grocery thing is a non-issue. When you can walk to the store in 2 minutes, you don't need buy 400 pounds of groceries to stock up for weeks in advance. Feel like a salad for dinner? Go to the store and buy salad stuff. It takes 2 minutes. That's the point. You can buy things fresh as and when you need them because it's no longer a major inconvenience to go to the store. You end up with better/fresher meals and you waste less food because you don't buy enough at once for it to go bad before it's used.

Going to work is also not an issue because, hey, it's a fucking walkable city. You can walk to work. That's the point. And the few buses the city might have for public transportation are more efficient and more reliable because there's far less traffic on the roads to cause problems. But again, the point is for it to be walkable. Ideally you don't need any transportation.

And of course your current 17 minute commute would turn into an hour of hassle. You don't live in a walkable city.
