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?

        Not my comment but they might be referring to the idea that it is a ploy to make people get rid of their cars and therefore become less independent.

        Propaganda for properly designed urban planning and obviously a good idea for people living in such areas - easy access to amenities, entertainment, social gathering, recreation etc.

        But some nuts see it as a vast global conspiracy by the WEF to take away their god given right to drive a truck 30 minutes through 4 lanes of traffic just to reach the nearest liquor store.

      promoting the diabolical plot of… people having more time in their lives? reducing emissions and car deaths?

      what exactly is good about having to travel further to get basic necessities in a city?
