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?

I walk to the petrol station to fill up my lawnmower can. Other people might to buy overpriced snack food
I didn’t think of that. But anyway I’m anticar and antilawn so…
But are you anti-overpriced-snack-food?
Actually, I’m am ! because those are often overwrapped in useless plastic packaging and I try to do zero waste. I should try to by a bit more pro-thing rather than anti-. Would make my life happier.
There are lawn alternatives that still need some forms of mowing. I have clover but mow it back a couple times a season.
Mow your lawn with biofuel. Behold, the GOAT of Lawncare!
Actually I hear contrary to popular opinion goats are fussy eaters, they just sample everything. Maybe go with the Sheep of Lawncare.
I have an electric mower, personally, just an old (relatively) hand me down.
You should upgrade to a sheep. You get free fertiliser, and when you’re done with it, you can eat it.
Unless you’re vegan. Then you have to pay it a wage.
This literally made me laugh out loud, that was a good one. ❤️
Oh I fully agree. It’s a job, I don’t have a lawn.
Electric lawn mowers are better, imho. Fewer parts to break/maintain. Granted, the cable isn’t ideal, but it’s really not a big deal, you just mow out front where you plug is in two sections.
That’s fine for a bland, flat, empty US suburban section. For complex weedeating jobs it’s not very practical.
@blindsight @biddy Battery opperated is plenty good for most situations too. Up to the point where a ride on is probably the right choice, but I presume battery ride ons are/will be a thing.
