Depends on the geography/density/availability of shops where you live. I'm in Australia and the meme absolutely applies. I'm in an area that is considered relatively centric and with plenty of shops and yet the closest one is about a 10' walk (a bit over 1km). You probably don't want to do your weekly shopping there or it will get expensive quickly. Large chain supermarkets are at least 3km away.
Compare that to other places in Europe or South America where you have groceries and the odd shop around the corner in pretty much any residential area.
