FUCK yes, at least if you live in a rural town. I live in a small farming town of 5 000 people. There is ONE grocery store here. Once a week, I go on errands (appointments, shopping, etc.) and I have to travel 25–30 minutes, or about 15 miles. And that’s driving. There’s no bus line, no train line, so if I wanted to walk, it’d take about 6 hours to walk.
