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?

    As an American you could ask me what should be in a 15 minute neighborhood and I’d answer things but I can’t walk off of my street without taking my life in my hands. The only thing I can walk to is my neighbors’ houses.

          It’s not crime. The roads are narrow two lanes with no shoulder, just a ditch on the side. High speeds and lots of commercial truck traffic plus cars speeding even more. Last time I walked home from the car shop I had four people stop and offer me a ride because walking is that dangerous.
