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?

    Live in Rio, from this list i have almost everything in a 15 minute walk distance the only exceptions are

    • shopping mall(30 min walking)
    • public hospital (used to have but it closed, now the closest is 30 min walking)
    • Movie theater(30 min walking)
    • Sports arena(1h walking)
    • Public University(2h walking)

    Although i have a lot of services close, it is still a chore to go walking because a lot of the walking is uphill, i wish there was more public infrastructure to help people move up and down like trams and stuff like that, way back them the city uses to have trams everywhere, but now there’s almost none.

    What isn’t on the list, but i absolutely didn’t want around, was an neopentecostal church. Unfortunately, they are everywhere and super loud and disrespectful.
