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?
Groceries stores are usual huge. If you just want a single item, could still be 10+ minutes from getting to the edge of the parking lot to getting back to the edge of the parking lot with that one item. With a convenience store, its like 3 minutes.
Personally, I still rather go to the grocery store since they’re generally a lot cheaper and have more options.
As someone in Texas, convenience store and gas station are interchangable words. A dollar store would be what I’d call a convenience store that doesn’t sell gas.
Convenience/grocery stores still would exist. Buccees is probably better suited to becoming local grocery stores than most gas stations and superstores in terms of size. They just wouldn’t be a regional attraction and wouldn’t require crossing a sea of concrete to get to the store.
