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?

        There are lawn alternatives that still need some forms of mowing. I have clover but mow it back a couple times a season.

          Mow your lawn with biofuel. Behold, the GOAT of Lawncare!

          Actually I hear contrary to popular opinion goats are fussy eaters, they just sample everything. Maybe go with the Sheep of Lawncare.

          Actually, I’m am ! because those are often overwrapped in useless plastic packaging and I try to do zero waste. I should try to by a bit more pro-thing rather than anti-. Would make my life happier.

      Electric lawn mowers are better, imho. Fewer parts to break/maintain. Granted, the cable isn’t ideal, but it’s really not a big deal, you just mow out front where you plug is in two sections.

        That’s fine for a bland, flat, empty US suburban section. For complex weedeating jobs it’s not very practical.
