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?

    @nifty @ajsadauskas That is a pretty good list. I’m not sure a tech store needs to be in that range. The tech shelf in a supermarket should be enough for immediate needs and big purchases are rare enough that travelling to them is acceptable.

    Maybe it’s that every 15m area needs one moderate sized speciality store. So the 10 common ones are all available within a few stops on the train line.

      You’re right, and I think online ordering is pretty good for the kinds of items I’d like.
