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?

    Same for all of these except a movie theater and that post office.

    I work irregular hours so I have any online orders delivered to pickup points I can go grab them from at my convenience.

    Post offices in my area have been closing down, and having to walk further and further to my “local” office when picking up parcels has been infuriating over the last few years.

    Yes, the automated ones are showing up in local grocers and it has helped, but having to go pick up several kilos of cat litter from the other side of town instead of next door when the delivery gets re-routed due to the pickup machine being full, is not nice.
