> Taking the kid to the doctor halfway across town

I live in a similar sized European city, and the one good thing the Soviets did here was to make sure services are available nearby to where people live.

I have a friend who has two toddlers, and when they need to go across the city they have no issues going by bus. If someone get pissed off because there is young human who is not mature at controlling (or more likely supressing) their emotions, that's their own problem.

Almost all of the services they need are nearby though. During the winter lockdowns they didn't need to leave their district for 4 months.
