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?

    Something that always amazes me when I visit the US is how unbelievable sprawling everything is. There is this old saying “In Europe 100 miles is a long distance, in the US 100 years is a long time” and I definitely think there is truth to it. The US focused their planning around cars for so long, it’ll be quite a challenge to change that.
