Love this. Could twist this on it’s head and proclaim “city dweller conspiracy theorists think suburbs are spread-out prison dystopias.” To which suburbanites would probably crack-up, seeing their lawns, backyards and garages; with cars as the only mode of transport as best thing in the world. That being said I live in an enormous communist-era brutalist concrete block tower with a labyrinth underground maze, a number of padlocked gates, homeless inhabitants, stores, shops, an amazing kebab joint and a health clinic. All in the same building. In line with hilariously unsuccessful utopian socialist modernist architectural ideals and strange problems straight out of that movie Brazil. To me walkable 15-minute cities are a drag - 5-minute cities are the way to go! I want instant gratification cities.
