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.

As an Englishman, I counted 8 of these.
“Rural” Netherlands, 14.
Seven for me, and I’m in a village. When I lived in the nearest town, I had almost all of them.
Rather than looking at the “I want” list, I’m looking at the “I don’t want” list.
What lunatic DOESN’T want a grocery store, a park or a bus stop within 15 minutes of them?
Brazilian here – I’m at most 10 minutes away from 13 of these. The remaining 4 (mall, theatre, university, arena) are only 30 minutes away, on foot.
