While the pandemic prompted a well-documented exodus to, and development of, sleepy suburban and exurban towns, the Rosslyn Business Improvement District says it has identified a different Covid migration pattern.
About a quarter of Americans reported moving to cities where they could be within a 15-minute walk or bike ride of grocery stores, healthcare and parks, according to a national survey by the BID.
The survey also found 41% plan on moving to be within walking or biking distance of their preferred amenities — including coffee shops, schools and gyms — in the next one to three years. That’s in contrast with places that prioritize mobility by motor vehicle, with sidewalks and bike lanes as a relative afterthought.

Blacks, in America, were chosen by the left to be run through social experiments to try and figure out how to make a people dependent so they become afraid to lose their dependence and can be treated like crap by the government without any consequences.
Once blacks were esconced in these ghettoes, their funding was cut off by the governemnt and their schools guaranteed failure for the kids so they would not have the tools to create circumstances so they could leave the ghettoes.
Then, the respective governments made sure that the physical ways of leaving or entering the ghettoes were limited.
What they did to blacks, they want to do to everybody. By putting people in these ghettoes, they can create one road in and out, that can be easily monitored and restricted as to who goes in and out.
Once they have everybody in these ghettoes, the elites can then proceed as they will to eliminate populations, one ghetto at a time.
You will own nothing.
We will own everything.
A more apt description of these 15 minute communities is neighborhoods.
All neighborhoods are not equal.
A good neighborhood is the best way to live in a big city, unless you really enjoy spending 2-4 hours a day in your car.
Exactly, if you’re bad, you can be thrown onto the street within your community Then the community can be punished corporately for your misdeeds and the community will enforce the standards you, so you learn.
Agenda 21
Neighbourhood, for the left is intending, is just another word for ghetto.
Do you really think the political-economic party that murdered 250 million people, started the majority of major wars in the 20th century, enslaved over a billion, and aborted over 2 billion unborn children are intending something nice for you?
Reducing the world’s population to 500 million people is still part of what the left wants, but they need to keep you where they can find you in order to carry out that part of their decalogue.
Everything they are saying, to get you trapped in a ghetto, is merely soft-selling you. Once they have you, they can proceed swiftly with their desires.
Fat people hate walking. Me, I moved to a relatively small town (~50K) near the city center where I’m next to a grocery store and weekly farmers market and is a short stroll to a coffee shop so I can get my espresso in the morning. I don’t want to get fat.
The car? I have one, but can go days without using it.
Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto
.
On this side of eternity, that would be correct. However, in eternity, I expect my playground to encompass the entire universe.
I want land, and zero urban cultured people.
How far to the shooting range?
If I could have lived my life different, I would do the same thing. The difference is that I’m voluntarily doing it and not being required by some bureaucrat following the Georgia Guidestones.
You want to be within a 15-minute walk of everything you need? Go for it, and more power to you.
The problem is that many of our ruling elite think it should be mandatory. If they get their way, that old phrase “papers please” will be heard once again.
I don’t even view the mandate of being in neighbourhoods to be that problematic. I think the ideal setting for humans in an urban setting are neighbourhoods.
It’s the one road in/out and containing us to make it easy to pick us off that I have a problem with.
within 15-minute walk or bike ride of grocery stores, healthcare and parksFirst, there's a huge difference between a 15 minute walk and a 15 minute bike ride. Worse, these idiots clearly have never done one or the other in Arlington, because it's quite hilly.
Good luck with that sh!t in AZ! I live in a bedroom community 35 miles outside of Phoenix. We don’t have a lot of jobs here yet so a majority of us have to commute to Phoenix or Tucson for employment. Sorry, but we’re not falling for this latest social experiment.

I grew up in a neighborhood like this……everything was nearby,
It was NOT a ghetto,it was wonderful.
.
I live within one mile of my parish church, grammar school, high schools, city hall, park, parish courthouse, drugstores, grocery stores (plural), restaurants, bars, and general hospital. In my culture, this is a good thing.
