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?

    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?
