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?

Probably people don’t want to live near a bar because of the other side effects, like drunken people and noise issues. But yeah walk it transit to the bar is the way
15 minutes away? That’s almost up to a mile!
I have 8 or 10 bars within 5 minutes walk and there’s zero noise or other detectable influence. I get more inconvenience from the churches 3 minutes walk away.
I didn’t say they were right, but I can imagine that’s why a lot of them put that.
There’s a local bar near me that was trying to get a zoning variance to replace their surface parking lot with outdoor seating and a bunch of people who lived nearby showed up to complain about “noise”. It’s pretty ridiculous we require parking for a bar at all to be honest.
I never seen a bar with huge bells inside, though it might be interesting experience “Yo the bells are ringing, time to go get drunk”
