I thought that in the new modern cities, everything that we needed would be within a 15 minute walk.
That will be coming, as people are forced into high-rise towers built on former parking lots and garages. Authorities are first weaning us off of gasoline cars, then they will force us to give up on private ownership of any vehicles. The idea is to reclaim all that space utilized by private vehicles, and to force us to live within walking distance of jobs and stores. Problem is, lack of useful public transportation to go elsewhere.
They'll force many of us to use bicycles, buses and taxis. All subsidized by taxing all the money job-holding people make. Everything they say we "need" will be within a 15 minute walk, but none of what we want will be available.
