Sadly you’re probably right.
I don’t think anyone would be opposed to small grocery stores, shops, and pubs organically moving back into neighborhoods. After all, this is the way it used to be not so very long ago.
But, when the NWO is proposing something we instinctively know it won’t be good for 99% of the people.
The 15 minute city is a simplistic idea of recreating villages. But out of cities that have been designed in zones for living, working, industry, etc. for a hundred years, so the infrastructure is not there anymore for "easy walking distance." Watch, as soon as this reality penetrates, people will want to tear down everything and redistribute the zone contents.
I didn't get to see much of the city proper, but what I did see of Charleston, SC was gorgeous. Had a great small-town feel without the skyscrapers I see in NYC.
Bingo. New urbanism is actually heavily influenced by Charleston sc. and it’s not a NWO thing there are strong conservative arguments for returning to traditional urban models like the small town or village instead of endless globohomo sprawl and box stores with shit made in china. We can have real towns in this country again not just a choice between urban high rises and sprawl. Bring back the three story village
Hell, I even saw a bicycle manufacturer with a storefront. It was so cool to see, like a still-existing small-town America I would see in movies. I'd love to go back. Maybe I should see if my friend can get me a job at the place he works at, or stick with security.
Small businesses? Ha! They'll be forced out via taxes and regulations, so the only businesses will be corporate chains. Think food deserts are bad now, wait until your designated zone has the one grocery store in it close because of the rampant shoplifting. Then you'll have to dip into your 100 allotted excursions to do your weekly grocery run. Might have to do it twice a week, as you'll be limited by how much you can carry.
No dumbass when you build sprawl you get globalist corps who move in. When you have small towns with small retail stores you get mom and pop stores which are just about perfectly fit into msmaller buildings with lots of foot traffic
Ok, but the "15 minute city" isn't small town, it's sprawl segmented into zones you're sequestered into.
Yes it’s a series of small town centers but nobody is going to restrict you from going outside that. But the idea that you can get most stuff you need in your own neighborhood seems pretty nice
If “15 minute cities” were to pop up organically, I think they could be amazing. As another commenter said, the majority of people used to live this way—in a village, traveling largely by foot. Many of the costs for modern goods come from transportation, customs, taxes, etc. Take those things out of the equation and all of a sudden your local tailor can actually compete with Walmart by providing a vastly superior product.
One vein of advice on here for fighting the NWO is to go local. Buy from your local butcher and so on and so forth. I see 15 minute cities as an attempt to co-opt this sentiment. I don’t trust it when it is handed down from on high. But the idea itself is sound, if it arises from people who are free.
When the majority used to live this way, we dealt with thieves and violent people with rope and bullets. Bums were run out of town. It was safe to walk in the streets. Men would open doors for women.
Times have changed and all of those conditions are now the opposite.
Society changed. Can it change once again?
A good take on this. It should be local but the idea of a walkable neighborhood is great for local businesses
This times 10. This would never work as a top down edict forced upon everybody by a centralized global totalitarian state, but if it were to naturally happen as a response to government over reach that communities started organically developing something like this would be great, almost necessary even if we are to get disconnected from this tyrannical globalist machine.
Sprawl was enforced after World War Two by federal rules which make it the dominant development pattern so why not undo those and see what happens at least
I added the speech of Orit Dolev - It is literally "You will own nothing and be happy, everything will (must) be rented" from 2019
We will own nothing and be happy, because our cities and communities will be bankrupt, our houses will be to expensive to be paid and the mortgages will rise to such height that we are happy to sell.
We will only be allowed to rent everything = subscription to services and experiences!
Certainly your subscription can be cancelled, if you are not meeting the guidelines.
Now we know why they hyped the tiny houses, nomad life, home-office, 3 hrs week, cargo bikes, automated driving (strokes!), ...
Tiny houses aren't a bad idea though, if you can live without a lot of 'stuff'. They're fairly mobile if you have a truck, or have access to a truck. If you know how to live off grid and maybe even have a set up like that, you can plop it down on a piece of land and there you go, no mortgage. There's also van conversions too.
Van conversions seem like a great idea to bug out with. Most have a shower and most have some kind of toilet. Also diesel heaters, a fridge, sink, solar and batteries.
