What the GP describes is a generally accepted need by planners, etc. Regarding grocery stores, look up 'food deserts'.

Also, when you are working multiple jobs, you have even less time for overhead like commutes to distant jobs and services.

You do not have to have food deserts, that's self-inflicted.

If you are working multiple jobs, at least you should afford to live somewhere near. If you work multiple jobs and is forced to live very very far away/in ghetto, then you should realize people live better than you in third world countries, and relocate to Laos to teach English and lie on the beach. Seriously.

How is that self-inflicted? Should people with no money be opening grocery stores?

The rest of the ridicule - of poverty, from apparent ignorance - seems to show you have nothing more substantive to say.

They still have all kinds of incomes, nothing that Lidl-like discounter grocery store could not use. I attribute this to bad urban planning where these poor districts are kept small, too sparse and isolated, and shops are actively zoned out. But, you know, for the rest of the world this is non-issue.

What is all that based on? There is plenty written about food deserts that could be a good starting point.

Food deserts exist in relatively dense cities.
