The point of a city is all the things that you can journey too. If you just want the things in your local neighborhood then you can find that in small towns in the middle of nowhere. However in a large city a short journey of beyond walking distance is the real goal. We need more bike lanes and public transit!

We need zoning reforms because people shouldn't have to get to go far to get the basics (milk or whatever your culture sees as basics). However that doesn't change any need for getting people around.
