      Where do you think this has been implemented? I’m curious, because you’re the first person I’ve come across who was this take, and it’s novel to me.

        @silasmariner xford City Council have publicly stated that the 15-minute city concept does not involve travel restrictions and that traffic filters are not intended to confine people to their local area. If the “travel filters” are not intended to confine people to their local area, then what is their intent? Yea, to confine people.

          Wow, hot take. Do you know what a traffic filter is? It’s just a restriction on through traffic, so that smaller roads aren’t used as part of a route by people going longer distances. It in no way restricts the overall distance that people can travel. In fact it’s less restrictive than some LTN implementations, since at least the road can still be traversed

            @silasmariner I know because I’ve heard it described by people who live there. That’s ok, go ahead and believe the WEF lies, let them enslave all of humanity. Good thing AI is becoming a thing because natural intelligence is sadly lacking.

              I, too, know people in Oxford, however none of them are insane, so none of them have described it that way 😅. If you’re sold on AI as well then, yeah, lol, I guess that tracks. Wanna buy some NFTs, bro? 🤣🤣

        @Horse No I grew up in a time where we had relative freedom. If I wanted to go lay on the beach and enjoy the stars and the sound of surf at 2AM, I could so so, if I wanted to set off fireworks on the 4th of July I could so so, or pretty much any other time as long as I wasn’t creating a nuisance. I could drive downtown on any street. Now beaches are closed after dark, no more fireworks, kind of funny that we don’t have the freedom to celebrate our freedoms, but then the constitution may as well be used for toilet paper these days, downtown now half the streets are bus only and the other half are one-way. I don’t understand young peoples total lack of desire for freedom.
