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.

Who needs a gas station within walking distance? One need a gas station within 15-minutes driving.
16% said “should not” to a grocery store? What?
I feel like there should be a separate question for the “I don’t want anything near me” rural choice, since those might be making the rest of the responses misleading.
They are probably carbarians whose only conception of a grocery store is a supermarket surrounded by a moat of parking. I wouldn’t want one of those next to me either
How is bar so low?? Do people want drunk drivers? Because that’s how you get drunk drivers
Depends on where you are from. For a lot of Americans, bars are super loud places that play music super loud until 2am. The concept of a “bar” has so many different applications, I think most people think of a noisy place that they’d have to deal with.
Because of car culture you often get big groups of bars all near each other, which feeds the stereotype of loud ass bar with loud ass people outside of it.
That sounds a bit more like a nightclub.
I’d never want to live next to a nightclub, but living next to a tavern or pub would be fine.

Why are bars so low? Do Americans like having to use a car when drinking?
Missing a gym, physio, and doctors clinic.
And a library
