    i have yet to have it explained to me why reactionaries think this will happen. What’s the incentive? The only thing I’ve heard is utter gibberish about Jews reducing population growth for completely unspecified reasons.

    The average adult at a good pace can walk 1 mile in 15 minutes. Do they really think every single square mile will be a locked off box patrolled by cops in guard towers. They think it’ll be like the movie Equilibrium where they only jobs are sad factory worker and cops. And the ratio of cop to civilian is 1000 to 1.

    Oh, I’ve got it. We should tell them 15 minute cities would increase wages for cops, then they’d be on board.

      It has nothing to do with logic. They don’t like public transportation because they don’t like poor people. Anything that benefits poor people (really anything that doesn’t benefit the rich) is bad.

      They can’t even think in spatial dimensions. If you close off the blocks, either people living in the centre have everything in a 15 min radius and people on the edges need to plan 30 min for some ways or the people in the centre have everything in a 7.5 min radius while the edge dwellers can reach everything in a comfortable 15 min walk.
