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.

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.
