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?

Depends on where you are from. For a lot of Americans, bars are super loud places that play music super loud until 2am. The concept of a “bar” has so many different applications, I think most people think of a noisy place that they’d have to deal with.
Because of car culture you often get big groups of bars all near each other, which feeds the stereotype of loud ass bar with loud ass people outside of it.
That sounds a bit more like a nightclub.
I’d never want to live next to a nightclub, but living next to a tavern or pub would be fine.
Honestly… They can all be called bars where I’m from (Central US). It’s very annoying not knowing what you’re walking into sometimes.
Sports bars also tend to be big noisy monstrosities, and it’s what many people like to go to, but would not like to be near. I also think you’d get different results distinguishing a pub/tavern from other types of bars
