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 have 11, outside Boston, but where is the train station in the survey?

    • movie theater is 25 minutes fast walk, although past my threshold so I’ve always driven.
    • why the eff would I want to walk to a gas station? If they mean convenience store, I have two even closer
    • I prefer NOT to be near the things with large crowds: hospital, university, arena, mall
    • hospital question is out of date, should really distinguish hospital from urgent care or doctors office

    I lived near Fenway Park once, and it was horrible. Do not recommend. The positive was I could goto a game after work and look for half price tickets after they start, but freely choose not to go if I didn’t get my price. But the noise, the mess, and the crowds making things just unuseable was not worth it.

      Really? I loved living across from fenway. Free concerts, watching all the idiots riot celebrate without having to participate. Two T stops within walking distance…

      I suppose I could understand, though, if you lived by Lansdowne.
