Depending on which country you live and applicable labor laws, those type of information are available to employees. In France for example, we got CE and CSE who have monthly and special topic meetings with HR and WFH and one of the topics discussed there among a lot others. There’s a third party meeting secretary who notes everything and two weeks later we are sent the full exact write down of the discussions, who was there, who was absent and excused and who said what. It’s usually 30-50 pages long, really instructive and a must read if you want to know what is going on in the company. From negotiations regarding raises, open jobs, services where there are management issues and what’s done to tackle them, wfh, even the state and price of the canteen, input on company results, strategic 5y plan, etc.

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 moved to a tiny village (1.2k inhabitants) at the outskirts of the Paris metro.
We got:

  • 1 supermarket that also doubles as a post office
  • 1 bakery
  • 1 pastry chef
  • 1 pizzeria
  • 1 fancier restaurant
  • 1 pharmacy
  • 1 kindergarten (mandatory school for 3-6yo) and 1 primary school (for 6-10yo)
  • about 20 child-minders for the 0-3yo with working parents
  • 1 tennis, basket, football field
  • 1 gym for indoor tennis
  • 1 public library
  • 1 train station next town with direct trains to Paris in 40min
  • 6 bus stops along the Main Street with one line going to the train station
  • a church that only opens once a year for a concert of Christmas carols
  • 1 castle
  • we are next to a river so we got a ton of public paths along it where we jog, bike or just walk as well as a water reserve thing for animals where we go hiking

Considering the size of the village and how many people live there, I’d say we’re pretty good on the 15 minutes thing.

My experience with Starbucks here in Europe is that it’s industrialized processed shit. Tastes good every once in a while but isn’t really healthy nor are the ingredients ok. On the other hand, in France, even the smallest supermarket has its own baker and pastry chefs who do daily fresh loafs of bread and baguettes / tradition and pastry. I like American bread that you get in your stores but consider it more of a cake as it’s quite sugary. Like slap some salted butter and jam on top of it, an espresso shot on the side and you’re set for a nice breakfast unless you’re diabetic.

Most home insurers in Western Europe provide with the coverage additional legal counsel / coverage in case someone claims we are liable for anything non motor related. And house insurance itself costs just a couple hundreds a year.
