Did you miss that this article is about the UK?

in my defense this is such a culturally american thing to be opposed to walkable cities that I can scarcely comprehend how a country with a far less car-dependent infrastructure could fall for this nonsense, also I have slept 2.5 hours

None of the people named in the story are American.

The article is about members of the UK government including the PM reacting to an idea proposed by "Carlos Moreno, a French urban designer and professor at Panthéon-Sorbonne University in Paris."

Jordan Peterson (a Canadian) is also mentioned as a supporter of the conspiracy theory.

I can see why you jumped to your incorrect assumption, but it is wrong.

I think many people are getting bent out of shape because of the surveillance aspect of it. I do not think that is unreasonable.

If they build these cities without all the tech BS I will be all for it.

The surveillance aspect of... walkable cities?

Is there some sort of bug with HN? You talking about surveillance and your parent comment talking about amerikans... did we read the same article?
