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?

Most grocery stores aren’t 24/7.
It seems weird not to have “convenience store” on the list.
I’d want a big grocery store with fresh fruit and veggies and a full selection within a 20ish minute walk. But, I’d want a small 24 hour (or at least late night) convenience store within about a 10 minute walk.
@merc @blind3rdeye maybe “convenience store” is covered by “gas station”?
It shouldn’t be. Conceptually those are very different places, even if most modern gas stations also incorporate a convenience store. The reverse definitely isn’t true.
