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.

            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.
