   took an evening walk and climbed the parking garage in the half-finished new neighborhood for some photos

     As a 21st century human you are better off believing every conspiracy theory is just true and the world is run by demons that hate humanity. There is literally no downside to this as long as you don’t tell anyone else.
     
     It’s all a ploy to get people to go to stores more often for fewer things instead of bulk buying from Costco once a month.

     you have a rather idyllic view of what's taking place. in places like oxford england for example it basically consists of toll booths that you have to pay to pass if you exceed your government allotted number of trips. never mind sick family, close friends, or other normal life. if you want to pass, you have to pay the government troll an extortion tax. the idea being to force people to no longer own cars, or switch universally to these high tech mobile surveillance platforms.
     
     it's all well and good that you live in a fairy tale kingdom of castles and unicorns and so on, but the rest of us live in the real world and didn't vote for some douchbags in davos to decide the details of our daily lives.

     you can find out which cities are infiltrated via the links below. so far there're around 12,752 cities in 142 countries representing over a billion citizens. that's just at the municipal government level...

     the 15 minute cities being some sort of evil plot is the most insane conspiracy theory i've seen yet, especially considering the political leanings of the adherents
     
     i live in an european city filled with genuine classical architecture (and a cathedral, and a castle, and real noble mansions...) far older than the US and the whole city core bans non-business car traffic, you have to walk if you want to get stuff but that's fine because everything is in walking range, just like cities used to be
     
     you'd think reactionaries would be all over this concept, but no?

     wonder if the designers are connected to "15 minute cities."
     
     I'm glad I got away from the cities. There were a lot of things I enjoyed, but I kinda hated being in a box connected to every other box.

     @djsumdog they have interesting little alleyways and squares and paths between the buildings, along with common spaces enclosed in these kind of greenhouse like buildings?
     
     but it's still very boxy, yea

     the architecture is generally more pleasant up close, but still kind of sterile and weird
