You will stay in your assigned district of your '15 minute city', and if you complain, your social credit score will take a hit.

- HL33tibCe7 3y agoThe “15 minute city” thing is not some conspiracy to try and lock people away. Only an idiot, or someone deliberately missing the point, would come away with such an impression. We already have plenty of 15 minute cities in the world, and living in them is great.

Living within a 15min walk of a decent job is always likely to remain a luxury. The best chance we had to seriously reduce commuting was Covid and WFH, but that didn't last long for many people/companies.

Yet all recent trends have been going in the exactly opposite direction. Air travel has never been more accessible throughout much of the developed world.
