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 think, although the amount paid for parking is an issue, the hassle of paying twice while rushing to work is also a factor.
Of course, in the US any charges imposed on the free use of cars is anathema, despite the wisdom of making pushing the cost/benefit balance toward public transit.
@MarvinFreeman @otfrom @ajsadauskas @urlyman @fuck_cars And also changing mode of transport twice! Changeovers suck and add time to your journey.
