I don’t really know if this has much stamina for its own thread, but 15min cities are being discussed everywhere at the moment. As far as I understand, it’s a simple idea that one can leave their front door and walk/cycle 15mins to shops, restaurants and amenities.
I.e. how most European cities work, give or take 5mins.
Do I have that right?
If I do have that right - beyond people misunderstand everything - why do a lot of people view this idea as an infringement of their freedom, privacy and rights? I saw a video of a bloke being interviewed who thought it meant he wouldn’t be able to leave the city or at least would be restricted in doing so.
Am I missing something or are these just the same people who believed what was written on the big red bus?
