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?

    Bar counts as cafe I guess.

    and *two* malls.

    Lucky. I have not one, not two, but fucking 8 malls! Anthough one of them specializes in construction, second in electronics and furniture and third only in furniture. Who need so much furniture I have no idea.

    As you can guess there were no major improvements for last 30 years and a lot of stuff fell in disrepair.

        Moscow. There is cluster of 6 malls in one place and 3 malls in another. Last mall I did not count in 15-minutes walk distance, but 20 is well enough.

        Oh, also I forgot about new mall in place where market was until it mysteriously combusted. Maps say it is 16 minutes walk, but I never walked there. 10 minutes on bike or public transport.
