@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars 15 minute walk: Park, elementary school, bus stop, restaurant, gas station.

15-30 minutes: (I do walk sometime but usually bike): Grocery store, pharmacy, bank, barber.

I can easily bike, though not walk, to all of the rest except a university (which seems an absurd ask for a 15-minute neighborhood).

Other than the primary school (~20 minutes) and the physical bank, which we barely have any left off in Norway, they're all within 15 minutes.

- Trondheim

A lot of stuff actually, but I'm pretty damn lucky to like in a place that's somewhat walkable and not a death sentence to ride a bike in.

Manure, swamp, ticks, Coyotes (after dark at least), deer, bear

@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars At the corner of my road, I have:
- Bakery (that took over the shops left and right because they kept winning awards)
- Pharmacy
- Post Office
- Women's Hairdresser
- Pizza, Chinese and Indian
- GP (although always booked out)
- Petrol Station chain which sells marked-up cornerstore stuff, don't get milk there it's 6 bucks

Zero. In my car... still zero.

I have a 90-minute drive to work because moving to walkable range would be too expensive.

The houses near my office start around 4-5 million dollars. Apartments within walking distance cost $3,000/month for 600 square feet.

My 15-min walk list:

1. restaurants/bars/cafes
2. grocery store
3. ~~some kind of tech store, like Microcenter but smaller with less items because you wouldn’t want a big ass Microcenter near you~~ game/hobby store (trading cards, figurines etc.)
4. a park/open air theater or amphitheater
5. gym options (Pilates, yoga, weights etc)
6. pharmacy
7. day care
8. some clothing stores
9. hairdresser/barber/nails
10. bus/train stop

I sincerely disagree that post offices and banks have to be within walking distance when we have mailboxes and online banking. Also, I’d like to be able to drive my car out with ease to get to other cities or states if needed. I assume 15min city urban planning accounts for the desire to long distance travel at will.

I am also not sure it’s a good idea to have schools because schools are kinda big and require lots of parking space.

I live in Brooklyn. Almost all of these are well covered. It's pretty great. Hospital, mall, and sports arena are a little outside a 15 minute walk.

I think "places to see live music" should be on the list. There's one by me but it tends to be for bigger acts. If I want to see a smaller band play I usually need to travel a bit.

I have 11, outside Boston, but where is the train station in the survey?

• movie theater is 25 minutes fast walk, although past my threshold so I’ve always driven.
• why the eff would I want to walk to a gas station? If they mean convenience store, I have two even closer
• I prefer NOT to be near the things with large crowds: hospital, university, arena, mall
• hospital question is out of date, should really distinguish hospital from urgent care or doctors office

I lived near Fenway Park once, and it was horrible. Do not recommend. The positive was I could goto a game after work and look for half price tickets after they start, but freely choose not to go if I didn’t get my price. But the noise, the mess, and the crowds making things just unuseable was not worth it.

As someone who lives within 15 minutes ot a sports arena, i agree with not having one

I can get to....more houses!

Surprised shooting ranges aren't on this list.

My sister is fortunate enough to live close to a lot of this stuff.

And there are no sidewalks 😂

Living in a rural town, I just wish I had sidewalks. I could probably walk to a local hospital within 15 minutes. 30 minutes would get me a lot of stuff on that list but there are zero sidewalks for any of that.

@ajsadauskas in Umeå Sweden near campus I fall short of bank office whatever that is.. a movie theater and a gas station (it closed).

Such a list should have more focus on work places.. not only have "service", if we want o limit traffic :) Even though hospital and university has a lot of staff.

Office complex, hotels, branches of government etc.
