Myself personally it's a 36 or 40 minute one way walk to two grocery stores by me. No sidewalks 90%. I'm not sure the big busy intersection even has ped cross walk buttons. <5 min drive, never any traffic. Own a house and decent land, not on top of neighbors. Just can't imagine why people would want to live in a city like that but it sounds like the place is in transition from rural like I am to full on city from too many people there.
