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?

Ikr?
It might be that you live somewhere nice, but then those amenities move away and that sucks, especially for old or disabled or poor people (without access to a car)
But i cannot imagine willingly moving somewhere where the nearest supermarket or bus-stop is more than a 10 minute walk away. The inability to do things would be a daily frustration. I am willing to give up A LOT in terms of ‘house-size’ or ‘garden’ or ‘affordable rent’ just to live close to civilization.
