- DoughnutHole 4y agoI presume he’s talking about the London congestion charge zone. Although he’s certainly being melodramatic.
- m-watson 4y agoI was just reading in Vice[0] about talk like this. I am not saying OP is necessarily saying this but it does seem similar. [0] https://www.vice.com/en/article/m7g898/walkable-15-minute-cities-con https://www.vice.com/en/article/m7g898/walkable-15-minute-ci...
- Dig1t 4y agoI admit that the way it was described to me was probably exaggerated, but this is what I'm talking about: https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/23073992.traffic-filters-will-divide-city-15-minute-neighbourhoods/ https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/23073992.traffic-filters-w... "People can drive freely around their own neighbourhood and can apply for a permit to drive through the filters, and into other neighbourhoods, for up to 100 days per year. This equates to an average of two days per week." This is enforced with surveillance cameras. As I said in another comment: it does seem to me that enforcing movement like this and adding bureaucracy to drive through certain places is a solid step in the direction of authoritarianism. The article is titled "Traffic filters will divide city into "15 minute" neighbourhoods"
