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?

Do people really use the post office or bank that often? If I'm walking into either of those, odds are something has gone catastrophically wrong that day.
A nearby post office is nice because they can leave your packages there when you miss the delivery. I agree on banks though. Just give me ATMs for those rare occasions where I need cash.
And you're not wondering about the hospital and the university? Hmmm.
Those are some if the examples I expected to see higher of course!
It's not that easy for me to imagine a city with enough hospitals and universities that no one lives more than a 15 minute walk away. But I can certainly imagine if that included emergency clinics and libraries/colleges.
University depends on your age I guess but hospital is certainly more useful than a post office or a bank
