Italy. Then of course not everybody is as lucky as me (e.g. people living in the countryside, or working far away from home), but the majority of people can enjoy having all their basic services at a walking distance. Especially if they live in the city centre.
I can do all of those things with a 5 minutes walk in my European city. And I don’t even live in the city centre.
Mixed zoning and walkable cities are the solution.
That sounds like a dream. What country do you live in?

Part of the solution. Public transit needs to be much faster, more reliable, and more efficient too. But it needs proper investment.
Not living in the city is my solution. It’s great.
