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?

    15 minutes away? That’s almost up to a mile!

    I have 8 or 10 bars within 5 minutes walk and there’s zero noise or other detectable influence. I get more inconvenience from the churches 3 minutes walk away.

      I didn’t say they were right, but I can imagine that’s why a lot of them put that.

      There’s a local bar near me that was trying to get a zoning variance to replace their surface parking lot with outdoor seating and a bunch of people who lived nearby showed up to complain about “noise”. It’s pretty ridiculous we require parking for a bar at all to be honest.
