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 used to live in a small town, less than 20k people, I could walk to several instances of each of these things in about 10 minutes (except a university or hospital, which were a 15 minute drive away). This in Mexico.
Grocery stores can be small, also farmer towns exist where a small community lives with their farms around them. There are ways of doing it and it’s done in several places.
But I concede that the bigger the place the easier it is to do a 15 minute city.
So, you’re fine. Big cities and suburbs have no excuse, tho.
