This is a lovely gesture, but also it's pretty sad (and very North American?) that if your car dies at the store you can't get home without relying on the tenuous kindness of strangers (pbs.twimg.com)

This is apparently in Columbus, Ohio -- a pretty major city by any stretch of the imagination.

And yet there are people who rail (geddit?) against 15-minute cities and efficient public transit that ensures no one ever gets stuck like this.

My city is in the top 150 biggest cities in the US with a little under 200k people. I can't argue that this place compares to a million+ sized city when it comes to urban-ness because it doesn't but I don't consider it rural. The nearest grocery store is 15 minutes but unless I want to work retail or food service there aren't many jobs closer than about a 45-60 minute walk.
