Sad, but funny at the same time.
Politicians giddy and excited to lure liberal tech companies and all that money, for all their tax revenue and all that development that the regular folks want no part of, but are wholly ignored. What does the regular know? As a politician what do I care, they’ll vote for me anyway?
Folks not paying attention to who they’re voting for and giving POS politicians, that happily sell them out, chance after chance after chance, because next time they’ll do better. They just need one more chance.
Folks not willing to give someone else a chance for fear of losing some scraps from the government so they can build some new bathrooms at the local park.
Knoxville and Nashville will be the next on the chopping block
IIRC someone posted a piece about folks in Oxford UK protesting their council push for the 15 minute city plans. Not surprised. More authoritarian control of your daily life and movements. 🖕
It’s being developed in my city as we speak.

15-minute open-air prison camps.
Your biochip, please.
15 minutes, eh?
From my days in the USAF, to prove you were fit, you had 15 minutes to walk/jog/run a mile and a half!
So, is this 15 minutes, on foot, by bicycle, by scooter, or by automobile?
How do you secure such a city?
So, IOW, communists want us going backwards in time.
As usual.
(Never mind all the Orwellian aspects of it.)
Pardon me, boy, is that the Chattanooga boo-boo?
I visited that city a while ago and it is dead, like so many others cities in this country.
If it’s ever applied, this will backfire on elites.
If everybody lives near where they work, the potential for labor disputes flaring up into riots and uprisings increases.
If everyone shops at the store near them, shortages and price increases could likewise more easily flare up into violence.
But more likely perhaps, is a scaled-back version. “Liveable” communities that have shops for necessities near-by, but still allow people to work and shop outside the 15 minute walking radius.
Is Chattanooga a nice place to live? Nicer than Memphis even? I’ve never visited there.
15 minute cities are soviet cities.
They were not designed for citizen ease. They were designed to restrict citizen movement.
Agenda 21 design incorporates this strategy.
From January...

So then, a utopian vision results in a dystopian reality. Maybe.
The principles of domestic tranquility and common good could be exercised with little difficulty in a 15-minute travel parameter, but this would not play out well if there is draconian enforcement.
15-Minutes cities are most definitely to be added to the list backing importance of the 2nd Amendment. In fact, if the folks of Chattanooga do not make it necessary for their “leaders” to have armed and armored escorts, they do not deserve sympathy. Make the politicians afraid. Very afraid. Effing afraid.
The initial push to redesign every suburb or hamlet into 15 minute communities in a futile attempt to assuage a feared revolution against the Golbalist WEF idiots, reminds me of the Jim Crow promise of seperate but equal.
‘World Economic Forum’s “15-minute cities.”’
Hey, you don’t need no steenken car or air conditioner or gas appliances or gas water heater or gas furnace and all the stores you need are within walking distance to your cubbyhole ... as a matter of fact you probably don’t need air if you’re on the Gates depopulation list. Oh, sorry. I gotta go cause I’m late for my Chilean Sea Bass dinner. By the way if you’re still around I hope you enjoy your algae and bug dinner.
Oh great.....🙄🙄🙄
40 years ago I was told that I was a nut because I predicted that exactly what we have today. We are doomed.
The sales of those Groucho Marx eyeglasses will go through the roof.
On the other hand, thousands of people wearing a SloJo Biden mask would also be a fun way to tweak these central planners.
