I appreciate your maths but you’d be pretty surprised how much stuff can fit in that area. I probably also live in a very ideal spot in my city, it’s certainly not the case for everywhere. I’m pretty much right between a suburb full of housing and our ‘nightlife’ area. And the inner city where I work is just next to that. I am not exaggerating that I can get to work on my (e) bike in 15 minutes. And there’s heaps of things in that area. It’s a big place, though, so sometimes I do need to get an uber but I often go weeks and months without needing to.
