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?

It doesn’t have to be high rise apartments though. Duplexes, quadplexes, small apartment buildings, row houses, and so on can increase density without huge buildings (although I don’t mind them personally).
@vividspecter @wolfpack86 Even three or four stories of apartments above the shops, instead of… Just a roof.
The area i live generally maxes out at 5 stories. You don’t need towers, but duplexes aren’t going to be enough to get the density needed to have the full listing of services in a walking distance.
