15 minute cities are actually a great idea if done for the right reasons. There is a concept called Marchetti’s Constant where cities grow to about a 30 minute commute time. Whether walking, transit, or driving. It would be great to have an extra 30 minutes a day to work or relax, and cleaner air.
And about water. It can be made from thin air by an atmospheric water generator. It's an energy intensive process so the water could cost $.50 / gallon. But if electricity is free then water will be cheap.

I want cities to be walkable. Cars are overrated. Our country needs more community and less isolationism.
