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?

    Yeah I love universities but I don’t want to live close to one. Having lived in multiple university cities (even worse, each was obsessed with that school’s athletic teams for one sport), I think the university district is important and I don’t want to live in it. I should be able to get there without too much difficulty but yeah.

      American universities are weird. My hometown has a large university and for the most part once you walk two minutes in any direction it just looks like a regular neighborhood. It helps to not have sports as part of the university.
