This is a lovely gesture, but also it's pretty sad (and very North American?) that if your car dies at the store you can't get home without relying on the tenuous kindness of strangers (pbs.twimg.com)

This is apparently in Columbus, Ohio -- a pretty major city by any stretch of the imagination.

And yet there are people who rail (geddit?) against 15-minute cities and efficient public transit that ensures no one ever gets stuck like this.

That's not an option for people who live in good food deserts.

    Just fyi you got autocorrected (I swear, autocorrect feels like it's more and more often these days changing from one correct word to a different word that's grammatically correct but not what I wanted to say) from "food" to "good".

    Anyway, django's point was the same as OP's: that car-dependent urban design is bad for people. Food deserts are a feature of car dependency. They're not a necessary feature (as in, it is possible to have car-dependent cities that don't also have food desert), but by definition a 15-minute city, the thing this Community exists to advocate for, cannot be a food desert. A well-planned city makes it possible to get to a grocery store within a 15 minute walk or ride.

    There can't be food deserts in 15 minute cities.
