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?

    I’m not sure what counts as a cafe or not, but most likely have several. Like it or not, bookstores have mostly disappeared. I do have one about 25 minutes walk but really think it’s an aberration.

    Yeah, libraries deserve so much more attention than they get. We have a really nice old fashioned one an easy walk, that does a great job of supporting the community, but I don’t know if many people really use it. It’s actually the first place we let our kids walk home alone from, when they were little. Of course now I’m probably a detractor, using their resources for ebooks without visiting much anymore
