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.

Why do you need a gas station in walking distance?
Because gas station is synonymous with Bodega anywhere south or west of Phildelphia.
They want junkfood, cigarretes, and lotto tickets in walk distance.
Of course if they had a supermarket within walking distance they could have all that anyway. In the UK & Europe you'll frequently see corner shops and small convenience stores akin to 7-Eleven in America. SPAR would be a common one but most supermarket chains have an "express" version of themselves for urban areas.
