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?

I think Walrus is doubling down on the “gas station is convenience store” idea, which is all too common in car-centric US. Here, my nearest convenience store is a 7-11, which is a huge chain that used to be separate convenience stores like mine, but now they’re usually at gas stations.
We really need to be working on getting rid of gas stations, not letting them be a convenience store destination
