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 have everything but pharmacy, post office, cinema, and university. The pharmacy is within a 15-minute bike or bus, though.
What I feel is lacking is a hardware store. I really wish I had even a small hardware store close by. There used to be one.
Also missing from the list, but I have: a bakery, a swimming pool, and a coffeeshop.
My hardware store is pretty disappointing though. I keep wanting to frequent it, and am fine with paying a little more, but the prices are a lot higher than my home center less than 2 miles away, and they never seem to carry what I’m looking for.
Something that has worked really well though is a “garage”. It is extremely convenient to be able to drop my car off when it needs servicing, and just walk home
