A survey

[Dr Sbagman]

I was wondering if you guys could help me out. Could you answer these questions:

From your front door, how long would it take you to walk to:

The nearest milk bar
The nearest supermarket
The nearest pub
The nearest bank
The nearest train station
The nearest bus stop
The nearest restaurant

Secondly, what sort of things do you do in your particular neck of the woods? Not talking the city here, but your neighbourhood.

Do you go out to local venues, or venture further afield?
Do you do your weekly shopping there?
Meet friends there?
Play sport there?

Finally, how often (in %) would you get around by
car
public transport of some description
walking

Thanks,

Dr S.

About a week, since the nearest milk bar is in Victoria. I'd probably walk past plenty of delis to get there though.

[Mooster]

From your front door, how long would it take you to walk to:

The nearest milk bar: I don't know what the hell a milk bar is, but I can buy milk with a 5 minute walk.

The nearest supermarket: Half hour walk. I buy too many groceries to walk it anyway.

The nearest pub Five minutes

The nearest bank Less than ten minutes (but it's not my bank).

The nearest train station 2 hour walk.

The nearest bus stop I don't even know where one is.

The nearest restaurant Many within 5 minutes.

Secondly, what sort of things do you do in your particular neck of the woods? Not talking the city here, but your neighbourhood.
I live right near the major shopping area for my city. Lots of new restaurants, 20 theatre multiplex, large mall, sporting good stores etc. I can do most anything without going far. The cool thing is that area is the major tax generator for the city. Therefore, if the power goes out during a severe storm, my grid is the first to have electicity restored.

Do you go out to local venues, or venture further afield? I go everywhere in the KC metro. I prefer to do my drinking at home, or within walking distance of home.

Do you do your weekly shopping there? I shop everywhere. As it turns out, most of my shopping is done at a beer import warehouse.

Meet friends there? Meet people everywhere. I try to keep my list of friends short, unless they are musicians or women.

Play sport there? There are ballfields within a 20 minute walk, but the leagues I play in are a 30 minute drive

Thanks, You're welcome, doc.

Peace,

 

[Mr Q]

Since I've just moved I'll give you the answers for both locations:

Where I am now:
The nearest deli: 5 minutes (what's this milk bar crap )
The nearest supermarket: 10-15 minutes
The nearest pub: 5 minutes
The nearest bank: hmmm. Probably 30 minutes
The nearest train station: 25 minutes (but there are lots of link buses)
The nearest bus stop: 5 minutes
The nearest restaurant: 20 minutes

Where I was living before:
The nearest deli: 5 min
The nearest supermarket: 30 min
The nearest pub: 20 min
The nearest bank: 5 min
The nearest train station: N/A (no trains in that part of Perth)
The nearest bus stop: 5 min
The nearest restaurant: 5 min

Secondly, what sort of things do you do in your particular neck of the woods? Not talking the city here, but your neighbourhood.

Do you go out to local venues, or venture further afield?
Further afield mostly although I do use the local cinemas
Do you do your weekly shopping there?
New location yes, old location no
Meet friends there?
New location no, old location most of my friends lived nearby, so yes
Play sport there?
No

Finally, how often (in %) would you get around by
car: 85%
public transport of some description: 10%
walking: 5% (although its usually in conjunction with PT)

I would prefer to use the car a lot less, but where I work makes that totally impractical (there is one bus a day past where I work mostly, and to get there I'd have to leave home at about 5.30. One of the other sites would be quicker to walk to; about 40 mins, but 45 by PT and 6 min by car. Not happening)
