I think this would have been a stronger article if he had been more even handed in his examples he had chosen. There were plenty of left wingers that ignored //edit//COVID lockdowns.
And anyone who doesn't think a large motivating force for 15 minute cities is the fines revenue it will generate doesn't know local councils very well.
- ajmurmann 3y agoCan you elaborate on these "climate lockdowns"? Google only finds proposals. In what country did this happen?
- gadders 3y agoTypo - I meant COVID Lockdowns. I'll edit if it will let me.

- ebiester 3y agoThis is about knowing your audience. In absolute terms, it's true. I'd rather that we didn't tie 15 minute cities to very low emissions or car restrictions other than reducing parking minimums and eliminating free parking on public property. You then don't have to worry about that whole class of surveillance.
- gadders 3y agoThe thing is, if you eliminate free or cheap parking on local shops, people will just drive to their nearest large supermarket. The local council then complains that "the High Street is dying".
- ajmurmann 3y agoOne could build dedicated parking structures. Those use up less space that we can use for much better stuff, make it so that you don't have cars circling blocks trying to find parking. If a business decides that they need parking, nobody stops them from building it themselves. No reason to dictate this or have the public give up collectively owned land for this.
