    No, america is fucking big.

    You would not build a rail/bus/hovercar between me and the grocery, even with europlanners.

    Ultimately this does not address my later point: I never worry about if I have space to house a food item I want. When I lived in the UK, in a detached house with a “normal” kitchen, I often thought about the available space at home, while I’m standing in the store. That’s silly.

    Lastly, in many densely populated areas (like Manhattan) you still get full sized fridges, so your euro-density-pubtransit argument again fails.

    Many folks absolutely could walk/bike/train to a grocery, but you can be sure they have full sized fridges 99% of the time.
