Residents will be confined to their local neighborhood and have to ask permission to leave...
Like the Old Soviet Union.
Actually in the USSR they had “internal passports,” but nobody really kept anybody as confined as this plan.
Few had cars, but RR and plane travel was relatively cheap, being heavily govt subsidized.
An example: an orchard farmer in Georgia could load 2 suitcases with fresh oranges, fly Aeroflot to Moscow, sell the oranges for cash rubles, and then buy consumer goods. He’d load up the same two suitcases and fly back to Georgia.
He might have his internal passport checked, but if he had no “problems,” (not a known dissident), he’d be allowed to buy the tickets and board the train or plane and travel anywhere within the USSR. He just couldn’t leave the USSR itself. (Or visit “sensitive” military sites or border regions, etc.)
This unfolding scenario, being geo-fenced to a radius around your house to “save the planet,” is actually a lot worse than travel restrictions in the old USSR.
