    I dont know if you understand. In Europe if grocery shop isnt in your village, its probably 2-3km away in the neighboring village. Calling something “a city” indicates that everything is denser. So I find it funny when American “cities” are less dense than European “villages separated by farmland”

      I’m European. Tiny cities exist here too. As do food deserts. When most people drive, local shops and bus services disappear, and people without cars get stranded.
