I feel like neighborhoods not having local small-scale stores is a uniquely American problem.

Here in Brazil every neighborhood is expected to have at least one grocery store, one convenience store, one pharmacy, one bakery, and one gas station. And most of them have a lot more than that, and a dozen other businesses.

Like sure, you have to drive to the city center to get to the big shops and you'll generally have more options if you do, but still.

The exception is like. Specific developments built by and for wealthy people who want to Live Away From The Poors ™️ in a tropical imitation of American Suburbia. But THOSE people are there by choice.
