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.
Agenda 21
I want land, and zero urban cultured people.
How far to the shooting range?
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.
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.
No thanks.
They can have it.
You bring up a great point.
IMHO, here’s the kicker with these folks that participated in the survey.
They’re a bunch of white liberal, hipsters or liberal empty nesters. They want to be able to live in a ‘live work play’ community where it’s all boutiques, cafes, maybe a sports bar, a micro brewery, Orange Theory & Soul Cycle. All living, working and playing in their liberal whiteness.
And best part for all of them, brown folks are only allowed to come there to work. Can’t live in any of these places unless they’re Reid, Lemon, etc.
Sounds like virtue signaling to the pollster. If I had my choice in where to live, it would be a 15 minute walk to my neighbor's property line.
I did notice that "work" was not on the list of things in walking distance, unless you are planning on working at a coffee shop or gym.
That’s a bingo!

No, it’s not ghettos. Just the natural way of things. Just because we stopped growing our own food doesn’t mean we should have to put in a long drive to get it.
On the other hand, I live closer to a grocery store than I did before, but it’s an expensive one. You still need a car to get food at a reasonable price.
I have no interest in living in or anywhere near an urban environment. I’m comfortable in the ‘burbs or in the country, not in a city.
I suspect that when I can no longer drive I will have to take a driverless Uber to get where I want to go. But by then I’ll be too old and feeble to walk far anyway.
They never mention jobs for some reason. Why don't they sell this as living on your employer's campus, so everyone at work knows your business and pleasure, and nets are installed to capture your fall should you slip out a window?
For most places on Earth, going out for a 15-minute walk has to be timed right, so you don't get mugged, sun burnt, soaking wet, or frozen.
More than 4 in 10 Americans plan to move to a “15-minute city” within the next 1 to 3 years?!? That’s some survey they’re quoting there.
