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?

    Wisconsin honestly doesn’t want bars close to houses because the bars are all sequestered together in a small area so the noise can’t reach the houses

    F to the poor souls that live above the bars in those Main Street buildings they use as bars now

      Actually its so you can go from one bar to another to chase the vibes or something. I don’t drink much so I really don’t know but the town I live in actually closes the road that all the bars are on to vehicle traffic at 10pm to protect the drunks stumbling between bars

        That’s a great idea. This is the approach I saw in New Orleans as well, except of course I was warned to never leave the French Quarter while stumbling drunk, due to the high crime rate there. It was fantastic walking from Jazz band to Jazz band, bringing your drink with you!
