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.

Please don’t include antibiotics in this list.

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

This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
