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?

    Really? I loved living across from fenway. Free concerts, watching all the idiots riot celebrate without having to participate. Two T stops within walking distance…

    I suppose I could understand, though, if you lived by Lansdowne.

      The location was fantastic. When I wanted to see events was fantastic. It was one of the best places to live …. Except during games you aren’t going to. Trying to do normal life when tens of thousands of people are flooding every store and restaurant, every street and parking spot, every sidewalk and every T station, was just impossible. So many afternoons in the summer when I couldn’t do anything in my neighborhood: stay away or stay in
