15-minute neighborhoods are not a bad idea as long as it does not have restrictions.
From what I understood it means to have the infrastructure designed so that everything is within 15 mins of your home, work, groceries, school, kindergarten, churches (I hope).
Reducing the need to use your car is good, restricting your car use is stupid.
Also the guy from WEF put a lot of emphasis on "not having a car" rather then not needing a car for day to day activities.
There is a reason behind why you can drive through small Midwest towns without HOAs and everything looks pretty nice and well kept, and conversely urban areas with multicultural populations need to be ruled over by community enforcers.
To make it viable you need to have the area around the job opportunities and that would be a mess to implement outside of a communist style where you do not own your home and the state tells you what job you have and where to move.
You say that, but even rural areas are still condensed enough to fit the bill without being stuffed the way cities are.
And I just happen to have the best sort of setup where I am. My workplace, a gas station/convenience store, a pub, and a Dollar General; each inhabit one corner of the same intersection. Three blocks from where I live. And the school is literally at the end of my street.
I know. I hate cities, just saying that is a good way to design infrastructure. I still have to drive the kids to day care / school because the school that was designed to be build 5 mins away it has been delayed for 5 years do to legislation and lack of interest. It would be lovely to have everything in walking distance for everyone involved and it would create better communities.
The wrapping it is not bad, is the way they will achieve it that will suck. High density urban centers becoming mandatory and tax anything related to cars would be my guess.
And this is the kind of activity we should ALL participate in, just make it low level that doesn't concern the residents but such a pain in the ass for the authorities that the residents get more pissed off with them
Only way to even approach that is with soviet style housing.
And you have to make a decision, do you assign housing based on where people work or do you assign work based on where they live.
"Congratulations citizen, you have been assigned a job at toilet factory No. 12. With this job you get a single room apartment with cold running water, no room for fridge, washing machine or dishwasher and your living room is also your and your children's bedroom."
Literally the soviet era apartments Vee has showed off a couple of times.

15 minute neighborhoods necessitate high population density. A lot of people simply don’t want to live like that.
For me it's not the quantity of people but the quality of people I'd be forced to live with.

Even in a townhome community you get incessant barking, dog shit everywhere, and high theft from vehicles.
Apartments? Even worse.
Most people are absolutely pathetic excuses for humans.
Cracka, dis be soundin' raysis. Is you tryin' to say Black peepil be bad naybas or sumtin?
Unfortunately you are correct, mostly do to work.

Everything the scummy left does is wrapped in a veneer of "not a bad idea". Don't be fooled - they are intentionally deceitful scum.
Yup, you can't give them an inch. Any ground you cede will immediately be used to oppress you.
Unfortunately, as far as government is concerned lately, convincing is a poor second best to coercing

So we should all live in a guild compound? How about no.
Only if you want to.
we're not being given the choice to refuse.

The entire reason suburbs exist is because decent white people felt it was necessary to move their families beyond walking distance from city centers.

Even less conductive for multiple people there. Like husband and wife both have to work the same neighbourhood.
Kind of surprising. It seems there are a few British citizens with a bit of fight left in them.
It's not the concept that is the problem, it's the authoritarianism that they require in order to make it happen.
Communism is always just one more boot to the face away from the Utopia.
The concept is the problem if you want any kind of reasonable space.
Based.
Fight it now or have the boot firmly on your neck untill extinction.
Tame, but good. Don't get caught / ID'd...
Funny how their whole system can be destroyed with a watering can.
they're not going far enough. swarm anyone that tries to fix it afterwards.
This is fucking great. Love the compilation of the delivery vans.
This is in England…
No GOP there to vote for, matey…
And the “Conservatives” are the ones in power, lol…
I think he's just making the point that you gotta do shit like this to survive. Voting the loyal opposition in doesn't change anything.
