    Literally advocating for 15 minute cities. Couldn’t get more stereotypical and Orwellian if you tried.

          Literally no one is advocating for locking people into their own 15 minute city. No one is even suggesting that everyone needs to live in one. They’re just suggesting that some people might like that option, and that it’s probably a good idea to give people the option to live in a 15 minute city.

            That’s the problem with you guys. You never think about tomorrow.

            Tell me, what happened during Jim Crow when they disarmed black people? In Germany when they disarmed the Jews? And now lefties still want to disarm the people. What happened to the Native Americans when millions of Europeans came in? And y’all still want to bring in millions of immigrants. I can go on, but those are the easiest examples I have.

              What does any of that have to do with 15 minute cities?

              Also, I guess I should ask before this gets too far… What do you think a 15 minute city is?

                  I lived in Montreal for a decade, living near all the amenities I needed at a walking distance and I managed to do everything without owning a car. When I wanted to get out of town I rented one for the week-end.

                  I never felt locked in.

          What do you think “15 minute city” refers to?

          Since it sounds like you think it’s this

          Celestini explained that the conspiracy theory behind 15-minute cities is that it’s a form of government take-over.

          People are fearful of a scenario where people would have digital identifications on them and would be forced to stay within a 15-minute radius around their homes, and that if people traveled beyond those boundaries, they would be tracked and targeted in different ways.

          It isn’t. No one is trying to do that.
