"15 minute city"

Millions of people live more than 15 minutes from their place of employment, and many of them are not suburban commuters but live in the same city where they work.

I live a little more than a mile north of Seattle, and before I retired it was about a 30 minute bus ride from the park-and-ride near me to downtown.

Thousands and thousands of people commute each day, whether on public transit or private automobile, to and from Seattle, Bellevue, Edmonds, Kirkland, Kent, Renton, and all of the other suburbs. Is someone going to show up at their homes with a gun and demand they stop doing this? Will they be forced to sell their homes and relocate into the city or lose their jobs? -

No

They’ll just modify the zoning laws and raise taxes to a point where you’ll be forced to sell and live where and how they want you to.

What I’m seeing, outside of Atlanta is, liberals that don’t want any part of this and the ability to work remotely.

First they move to the suburbs. Then they move to the small, semi-rural towns(where I live) and bring all their liberal bullsh*t with them.

Folks like me don’t need Starbucks and any other ‘city’ amenities. That’s why we chose to love where we did. But not the liberals. They want their ‘amenities’ and away from the cities.

Liberals can screw up anything

Crofton, Maryland is one of these Types of cities. It’s awesome. I think people need to see them before complaining once again About something they are clueless over.
