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?

@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars When I first moved to #Ottawa, I picked a place wisely and in a 15 minute walk I could get to a grocery store, a park, two pharmacies, a bus stop (main transit station), two restaurants, a post office, two banks, a gas station, an elementary school, a barber shop, a shopping mall, and a bar.
Since then, the gas station and the shopping mall have been torn down, so I also lost a barber shop, a bar, and the better restaurant. Post office also disappeared.
