There's this 15 minute city thing where everything you need is within a 15 minute walk to stop you driving.

Sounds nice but it's really about creating battery farmed workers with no communities.

Yeah it sounds good but then you kinda realise.

That is, will it be enforced or just practical? This shit is turning me into a Marxist quick. What are we, fucking rats in a maze to these people? Abolish the capitalist elite and let us earn our money for ourselves rather than some oligarch who slurps up the proceeds. Same goes for war. It's never not about capital interest.

It's going to be enforced in new builds in a lot of countries. You know, progressive places which care about the environment like Saudi Arabia.

Loool. I guess the Line kind of fits the bill

In the U.S., they are already waiving parking space requirements for developers in many cases. They are starting to build apartments with no parking available.

Doesn't work, see Houston. There's 5 versions of everything in a 15 minute walk, including asian massage parlors, everyone still drives everywhere.

Most places aren't as car reliant as American though.

Yep, it has more to do with poor urban planning than distance. Cities are designed around cars.
