What can you get to within a 15-minute walk of your house?

A recent YouGov survey asked Americans what they think they should be able to get to within a 15-minute walk of their house.

Of these choices, I can currently walk to all of them from my apartment, aside from a university (no biggie, I’m not currently studying, although there is a Tafe within walking distance), a hospital, and a sports arena.

How many can you get to with a 15 minute walk from your house?

    They are probably carbarians whose only conception of a grocery store is a supermarket surrounded by a moat of parking. I wouldn’t want one of those next to me either

      Not wanting a parking lot moat next to them is one thing, but not even wanting one within a mile and a half just flat-out doesn’t make sense.

        Some people don’t want anyone near them. Not even a small mom-and-pop grocery store.

        But what if your only experience with grocery/retail/bar s these huge loud noxious monstrosities. We’ve super-sized almost everything, and many people probably have no idea it can be different
