Ever here of the "Big Dig" in Boston? That multi-billion dollar project ended up being federally funded and was suppose to make Boston into a 15 minute drive. By the time they got done with that fiasco, traffic increased to a level that none of the Big Dig every mattered in helping out traffic congestion. It's worse than ever. 15 minute cities are the same thing. All that changes in the end is freedom is lost while control increases. Like GEICO's 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance. You may get that, but try collecting when you get in an accident. GEICO is one of the worst insurance companies for personal injuries. Likewise with 15 minute cities. At best you'll end up with 15% of your liberty.
