I don't know these as 15 minute cities, I know these as anti-urban sprawl, pro-environment, anti-car neighborhoods. And the push has been on for over a decade to make this happen.
Now that it's here, it's worse than thought. It's not just planning these things and letting people live and work close to home or not. It's more of a forcing function where the entire system is built as a turn-key totalitarian physical prison.
Only a fool would buy into this. And yet the places where these decisions are made (city council), nobody cares about and big money will pour in.
It only takes 6 figures in a 5 figure race to buy a couple seats and implement radical environmental anti-human policy.
