@blindsight In the UK a lot of bank branches have closed over the last couple of decades. The post office can do some basic banking services for some of the banks, but hardly a comprehensive service. It's especially a problem for more isolated rural communities some of which don't even have a post office either.

@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars There's a couple of weird things missing there I would definitely include, like a doctor's office, a library and a gym.

I'm in a city in the UK and a lot of those are in 15 minutes walk from me. Some, like a hospital, university, cinema, shopping mall and sports arena and I think a bank I'd have to go into the city centre for, but that's only about 30 minutes walk, 10 minutes on the bike, or a short bus or metro ride. I'm generally pretty lucky in my location.
