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?

    so in your world view there is only “pave over farms” and “not”

    what about drained marshland, deserts, tundra, non arable land, protected green spaces, farrow…

    if there are only farms and pavement are you saying that suburbia doesn’t exist? Are you saying that commuter belts are a fiction?

      There are only farms and woods around me.

      If you want to pave over the Sahara, go for it. I don’t want the countryside I am around paved over so that people can buy a Twinkie at 2 am.

        and there is no point within a two-mile radius of any property boundary where you live where you could build a single shop?

          Without cutting down trees or paving over farm fields? No. Why are you so intent on nature being destroyed for the sake of capitalism?
