The International Idiocy Of The 15-Minute City

Post by Riddick » 01-18-2023 02:27 AM

There's an incredible paternalism to the idea of the 15-minute city and the idea that planners can organize people's lives on such a minute level. Cities, and the people who live in them, are a little more complicated than that. Yet planners and politicians from Saudi Arabia to Scotland want to transform interconnected cities into isolated "urban villages" no one ever needs to leave. FULL STORY

The '15-Minute City' Is A Thing Devoutly To Be Unwished

Post by Riddick » 02-16-2023 04:09 PM

Archeologists recently announced a discovery of a massive and hitherto unknown ancient Mayan city that dates back possibly to 1000 B.C. The discovery upended much of the existing consensus about Mayan civilization. It ought also to help upend enthusiasm for the latest repackaging of an old utopian idea for today: the "15-minute city".

It's a terrible idea, of course, and one that's already receiving serious pushback. It should not surprise us the enthusiasts for the idea are the same people who think we should eat bugs, abolish private property, & submit to endless mandatory Covid shots, all to reduce our "carbon footprint."

Critics rightly point out the fascist implications of this latest "green" lunacy, a new kind of lockdown that, like the old one, is for your own good.
