On the HGTV shows about people buying houses I've noticed in the opening voiceovers the host's narration often notes units of distance in amounts of time; e.g., "The apartment is only ten minutes from downtown."
Ten minutes by what method of movement? By car? On foot? Riding an alpaca?
The narration never specifies. Presumably the producers figure the audience doesn't really care; they assume the audience merely wants to hear the sales pitch.
Which is probably true.
The shows aren't so much about giving sound advice. They are real estate porn touting the upside of buying a home in an exciting locale.
Details would only serve to ruin the moment. Can't bust a nut with the narrator specifying how far "ten minutes" is. Nope.
