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 can think of things like lawn mowers n shit.
But also, gas station is kind of synonymous with convienient store imo
Weird. When I lived in the states, there were plenty of convenience stores that weren’t attached to gas stations, and the people I knew talked about getting things “from the convenience store” even when they were getting it from the gas station, but I guess that could be a state thing or a regional thing, or even just a city-by-city thing. I take your point about the lawn mowers etc potentially needing gas though.
Oh yeah, not all convenience stores are gas stations… But most gas stations are convenience stores.
@mob @HeavyDogFeet You already have everything set up to sell things, might as well sell more things.
Assuming you have the space etc, sure. It’s not like a convenience store is just a gas station that didn’t think of selling gas yet.
@mob @HeavyDogFeet Private lawns are an extreme luxury that shouldn’t be needed. Also petrol mowers in a densely populated area are very anti social, and with the quality of electric options, why allow them?
I’m not trying to be in a densely populated area.
