Also big box stores are usually not too far away by design I'd wager. I've heard zoning laws caused most of the US to be a complete desert for shopping unless you have a car since everything is so centralized. Depending on the state a "secluded heaven" might very well be dozens of kilometers away from the market, right?

I can't even imagine this… no matter where I lived so far in Germany, let it be countryside, city or at the city border, there always were small shops, kiosks and/or bakeries nearby (<1km). I can't fathom having to drive even if I'm just craving some candy while living in what's supposed to be a proper neighborhood.
