    Wait until you hear that some not only hate the ideas, but think they’re a conspiracy theory by some higher power to make people…… be able to walk to the shops? I don’t know…

      No no, the conspiracy is that by living in walkable cities, you’re easier to track, because nobody in city has phones and there’s no cameras anywhere in cities, and of course everybody in cities pays for things in cash…

      Incidentally, the people I know who’ve fallen for this canard also live in the countryside, make it a point to never go to the city, and also have phones and debit/credit cards and spend time online…

      Every time a new apartment or condo development gets built here, there are people in the local community forums who rabble about “15 minute cities” and how they are trying to force us get rid of cars and control our travel. In spite of the fact these buildings are built with parking lots and garages that are as big as, if not bigger than the buildings themselves.
