I mean you could technically walk there in like... 15-20 minutes... but its kinda hard to like carry a week worth of stuff home without a car... particulary if you start your own family.
I mean before my parents had cars, Philly was kinda difficult to live in. Especially when like Asians are a minority here (less than 5% of the US population) and the nearest Asian supermarket was like... probably more than 30 minutes of walking distance away... so yeah...
in Brooklyn, we lived near 86th street around 25th to 23rd avenue and they had a lot of stores, so we managed to live there without a car for like 4 years.
In Philly? Nah we had to get a car like very soon, like within a year or two... it was so hard to get around... so hard to just transport stuff...
I think I didn't have a yearly checkup fmafter we moved to Philly. Like literally just skipped medical checks for 7 years because like... this place was unfamiliar... or maybe my parents started to resent us (me and my older brother) or something idk... like we didn't have a car for the first two years... then it sort became a habit to skip the yearly checkup.
