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
