     They want to ban you from going further than 15 minutes from your residence. Monetize every step you make, make sure you buy from provided shops, and 24/7 tracking. Basically modern serfdom.

     @olmitch 15-minute city is a great idea. I miss Philadelphia sometimes for that reason. What does it have to do with cameras and state surveillance?

     @coolboymew yeah bro, this is actually huge. Usually all the horrifying Orwellian shit they tolerate comes to north america eventually. I remember when the first CCTVs went up in the UK and me shaking my head, decades ago. Then PRISM came along. Extremely encouraging developments.

     @olmitch @Marakus That's crazy. Well, I had a very different experience. I used to live on 4th St. I would walk 5 minutes here to get a sandwich and work, etc. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Red+Hook+Coffee+and+Tea,+765+S+4th+St,+Philadelphia,+PA+19147/@39.9385577,-75.1497355,17z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x89c6c89f38a75a9d:0xf5dc76fff80d27e5!8m2!3d39.9385577!4d-75.1497355!16s%2Fg%2F1v1kqts7
     
     For groceries I'd walk a few more minutes to this local place. I would cart my groceries back to my apartment. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Essene+Market+%26+Caf%C3%A9,+719+S+4th+St,+Philadelphia,+PA+19147/@39.9393571,-75.1494153,16z/data=!4m9!1m2!2m1!1sGrocery!3m5!1s0x89c6c89ed75f96d1:0x43e5e28292c2e580!8m2!3d39.9399804!4d-75.1492563!16s%2Fg%2F1tj2pf3m
     
     Then of course for fun I could walk to any shop or bar on South Street. Eg https://www.google.com/maps/place/Tattooed+Mom,+530+South+St,+Philadelphia,+PA+19147/@39.9418799,-75.1518343,16z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x89c6c89e630fc7d1:0x98bb03f77bc875c!8m2!3d39.9418799!4d-75.1518343!16s%2Fg%2F1v8321mn
     
     It was a very different way of life and honestly great. I got to speak with my neighbors and felt like part of a community. I would meet new people all the time. The tradeoff was having a tiny apartment, but I believe the concept of a 15-minute city in general is great.

     @alex @Marakus walkable cities are not the same thing as "15 min cities" so yeah. One is common sense, one is WEF slavery.

     @alex @olmitch i would also like to know, mass surveillance has no relation whatsoever to the concept, so why are those words combined in one sentence like they're related?
     how is the best concept in city planning that could ever be devised, related to one of the worst concepts in a surveillance state? it makes no sense to call one with the other and sounds like some automotive/oilbaron lobby degeneracy

     @lebronjames75 @alex it horrifies to see so many of you have positive opinions about 15 minute cities. Horrifies. I'll have to post more memes about it, clearly.
