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.
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.
Most people, even here on fuckcars, don’t actually hate cars. We just hate that society is built around them and to a large degree requires everyone to own one.
The whole point of the fuckcars movement is that we want public transit to be good enough that cars are not necessary. Yes, right now, in North America (with a few exceptions) you need a car, even if your city has public transit. And that’s awful.

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?
What do you think a ghetto is? A real ghetto?

I never felt locked in.

Fuck cars being used as the prioritized mean of transportation above all else.
