You're 100% correct and it's very appropiate that we are discussing this in c/fuckcars .
If you live in midtown high-rise shit, you will pay $20, and waste 4 hrs of time and energy, now your kids crying and fiance fighting with you to not why just pay $30 and order delivery instead. It's 200% not worth it but also means this shitty urban planning that priorities corporal revenues on its residents expense should change. Look it up btw even local restaurants suffer; The only winner here is Uber eats.
It's a very unfortunate vicious cycle. Urban planning makes it easy for people to drive around and hard to walk around, which puts stores and eating places farther away, which makes online ordering more likely, which increases car traffic, which reinforces the need of urban planning for cars...
