    afford to walk down to their local cafe and buy a coffee

    i see you haven’t visited Australia vast shithole suburbs recently ? endless tracts of ticky tacky houses packed in and no facilities ?

    an anecdote, we used to live across the road from a massive shopping center, in a 15 story building, 4 towers. You could walk on footpaths, one proper pedestrian crossing and be there. Endless cafes etc and I’d estimate 70% of people from our complex drove. Would have been hilarious if it wasn’t sickening :(

      Some suburban hellscapes do include cafes and restaurants.

      Often they are enclosed in homemaker centres or shopping centres, but occasionally they are in a park or community centre, with a nice relaxing ambiance.
