I don't know why there isn't an app that simply only lets you order from places that are within 30 min walking distance. (I don't know why this isn't written in law - having someone drive more than a few minutes to deliver you food should be considered a crime against humanity because it is so dumb, inefficient and demeaning to those involved)
That way people on bikes, mopeds, whatever can do the delivery and it's fast, easy and cheap for everyone involved.
The people making the deliveries have to live within a specific radius of you and the delivery spot, that way people in affluent neighbourhoods get paid more to deliver, because it costs more to live in that neighbourhood and people who live in poorer neighbourhoods, get paid less.
You know where I'm going with this - it should be teenagers and college/uni students doing these deliveries part time, not grown adults. We as a society should be moving beyond menial labor, not creating new 'gig economies' that prey on folks who have trouble finding stable jobs because we've optimized away any semblance of community and dignity in exchange for billionaire mansions and yachts.
