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 I live in Philadelphia, so all those are within a 15 minute walk from me except the university, mall, movie theater, and sports arena. But these are all accessible by transit, whether bus or subway.

    On the short distance, the nearest bar to me is 40 ft (12m) away!

      Yo, I moved to Philly from growing up in Houston and I have not used my car in two years. Being able to walk or take the SEPTA train to my choice of bar/pub completely changed my life.

      I ain’t ever gonna want to leave.
