    There are a few grocery stores in a 30 minute range. But none we could continue to afford long term.

    The two which we can afford are an hour away. Including gass costs they are much cheaper long term.

    Why i chose to live here? It was the only place we could realistically afford.

    I am neither considered poor nor do i own/drive a car. (My partner already did before they met me) for perspective. We also have full jobs and kids. So very little time for small trips.

    I blame urban planning and townhall. There is a small discounter who has made repeated requests to expand near our area with repeated refusals because “we already have to many (wealthy class) grocery stores.“

        Not if i had money. Theres a reasonably big store a 15 minute walk away and the few times i am there for an emergency and see the markup they demand for the same products my hate for capitalism grows.
