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?

    People should have the freedom to put whatever stupid, life-altering substance they want to into their body (with caveats like informed consent and heavily recommended medical professional supervision).

    Please don’t include antibiotics in this list.

    within a 30-minute commute (by transit) … elementary school, day care,

    How big would day care be for all the kids from 30-minute transit? Day cares should be within 0.5km unless it is in same direction as mass transit(subway, suburban rail station). Elementary schools should be in 15-minutes PT range.

    community centers

    Then malls also shouldn’t be.

      Presumably because that can quickly become a public health crisis/outbreak/epidemic… I’ll agree to that.

      How big would day care be for all the kids from 30-minute transit?

      As big as it needs to be. Presumably it would have the space and resources of all the day cares that previously existed in a 30-minute radius

      Day cares should be within 0.5km unless it is in same direction as mass transit(subway, suburban rail station). Elementary schools should be in 15-minutes PT range.

      Why?

      community centers

      Then malls also shouldn’t be.

      Shouldn’t be what?

        Why?

        I’m thinking about soviet model of day cares when they are either near home or on the way to work. Also day cares don’t benefit from being big. One adult per group of 15-20 children, about 5 groups total + 1-2 in kitchen + 1/3 director(works in 3 day cares).

        Shouldn’t be what?

        Within walking distance.

          I was saying community centers weren’t on the survey but should have been. They absolutely should be within walking distance
