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.
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.
I prefer not living in a city in the first place but instead, living in the country...with a car.
