>>So you have the little shops, beauty parlors, cafés, copiers and whatnot within a short walk. And the parking space is nearby but does not occupy all the space around these buildings - there's always some kind of park, with benches, basketball space, playgrounds
So once again the serfs live their days within a small radius around their village?
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
