So everyone should have acres of land? And drive literally tens or hundreds of miles to buy a gallon of milk? How does that scale?

What about options? I don't want an apartment. I have a modest home on less than a quarter acre of property. My neighbor's house is 16ft from mine. Some people have bigger. Some people like apartments. Just options, you know? Or should everyone need to live in sense, urban areas? And I say this, the town I live in has about 5500 people/square mile, which is pretty dense. If I drive 10m south it's farms. There's a real variety.

Do you seriously think that people are driving HUNDREDS of miles to get necessities?

So everyone should assume that every comment on Lemmy is an absolute prescription for how every other person should live their life?
