I think this might read as a little tone deaf to the economic reality of many people.
Also mechanics are often in semi-industrial areas where the most community you'll get is a homeless encampment and maybe a taco truck
A lot of these replies are tone deaf. Not everyone lives in a place where walking, biking, or even ride share is viable.
Nah, I have to disagree. People in general are FAR too eager to declare walking and biking as not viable. But the cars! I'll get run over! But the walk! It's more than two blocks, how can I survive without driving! Etc.
But this is exactly what I'm talking about. You're assuming everyone lives in the cities and suburbs while forgetting that there are people who live in rural areas and are more than 10 miles from the nearest shop.
