Speak for your rural or suburban self. I’m in North America, kids school is 420m from home.

Speak for your dense population area self. 418m gets me to the end of my rural driveway. Kids school is 8.3 miles (13.4km).

to go even further, most people don't live in a village. Population of NYC is 8.3 million, population of Wyoming is 581k.

Isn’t it obvious? 300 m is like five minutes of walking..?

Maybe just how young kids are we talking about here? As 300m is clearly a walkable distance.

Look I dunno why people do the thing. Maybe one of the kids is going to pre-school. Maybe they go to the shop on the way back. I have no idea why honestly.
