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?

Out here in rural Downtown Brooklyn we’re gonna need a little extra time to get to a university, sports arena, or mall.
Or maybe Google just thinks I walk slow.
15 minutes isn’t much time. I mean it probably takes a minute or two just to put on my coat and make sure I have my keys.
@dbrand666 @ajsadauskas @fuck_cars Checking with google I was mentally including things that are 20m away. (actually the second primary school is 30m walk)
But I’m happy to be a bit flexible with the 15m time. The longer distances are probably where jumping on a bike makes sense.
