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 All except a Uni.
Shopping Mall? Well, not really, but yes to local shopping strip (5 minutes), Fitzroy St, St Kilda and Clarendon St, South Melbourne (10 Minutes) both covering all shopping needs.
Brisk 20 minutes would get me to the closest CBD campus of a Uni.
And three minutes walk to two tram lines.
Kids walked or public transported to school.
I rode or public transported to work (or taxi and flew because it was in another state or country).
One car family - have never been really able to give up a car, entirely, but never needed two.
@BernardSheppard @fuck_cars If you’re within walking distance of a good shopping street with a supermarket (Fitzroy St definitely counts), I think it’s fair to tick off that box…
