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?

In Montréal too. I barely leave my neighbourhood for anything besides special events. I have almost everything I need within a 15 minute walk. It is the best way to live IMHO.
Merci bonsoir!
@JustinLachance @ajsadauskas @fuck_cars Yeah. I usually avoid the services near my place, because they’re unfortunately not great quality.

Yep. Same experience here, in Rosemont. I did everything I could to make sure it was a walkable neighborhood. Indispensable.
Although I laughed a bit at the item “gas station”, as a measure for *walking* neighborhood… some habits are hard to remove!
