Quite honestly, I wouldn't mind having BACK, the 15 minute city I grew up in!
Within a 5 minute walk:
7 or 8 Mom 'n Pop grocery stores
1 Supermarket
2 Pharmacies
1 Donut shop
2 Restaurants
1 Clothing store
1 Bakery (Oh! the afternoon smell in the air!)
1 Pet Store
2 Gas, Service, Filling Stations
And that's just what my "kid's mind" remembers.
Put me on my bike, and I could own the world within 15 minutes.
Edit: And the Elementary schools were in each neighborhood. & I could see the hospital & a couple of doctor's offices from my porch!
Go live in Portland NW District.
