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?

How dare people promote kids being able to go out and play without getting crushed by a huge clump of metal!

I think it's because in some places, gas stations often have some small store for coffee, cigarettes, snacks and stuff like that.

If kids could walk to school without getting ran over, then schools wouldn't need as much parking space. In Finland, where I'm from, 7 year-olds can walk to school without getting crushed by a car. And when a plenty of students are able to get to school without cars, then schools don't need nearly as much parking space.
