The 15 Minute Cities thing is probably a pretty canny combination of far-right conspiracy theories and anti-LTN derangement.

LTNs is such a hot button issue that wouldn’t be such a lightening rod for pure commuter rage if we still had things like buses or trains

Danger - Octopus! posted:Objecting to the 15 minute city thing is so bizarre because why would anyone living in a city not want local services within 15 minutes of them? I mean it's easy to see how it can be weaponized. All you have to do is change it from "Imagine living in a city where everything you need is 15 minutes away." To " Imagine living in a city where everything you need is 15 minutes away." All the disingenuous have to do is frame it in such a way that it makes it sound like the Government wants to build a bunch of these cities. Which becomes "The Government want you all to live in cities." And that's effective, even if it's bullshit. Like I absolutely would not want to live in a city, even if everything I want is supposedly 15 minutes from me. And that's all they need to tap into. Now I don't support this guy since 1) He's a twat. 2) He is supremely disingenuous. You can tell by the obvious lie of "low emission zones kill the economy and don't help the environment."

Aphex- posted:I spent too many years sitting on those loving buses. I'd live 2 miles from the centre and it would still take me 45 minutes to get there. I could have walked faster. Now I've moved 30 miles out of the city and it takes me about that time to drive in, it's insane. Thank god for WFH. Fun fact Queens Road was the most congested/polluted road in the country when I lived in a shared house/tenement on it. Then I moved to Oxford for work and a few months later a BBC article came out about Cowley Road now being the worst one, right where I moved to a small studio. I sure know how to pick where to live. e: Thinking about it I now live next to one of the busiest roads in Cambridge. Maybe it's pathological. More likely it's because they are relatively cheap yet accessible places to live. Private Speech fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Feb 10, 2023 |

I deliberately chose my house because it was just off the local high street and I could walk to the supermarkets, pubs, cafes etc in just a couple of minutes. I've lived out in big sprawling estates before with no facilities in walking distance and it sucked and I hated it. I think the whole fear of the 15 minute city thing is tied in with terror of a return to Covid lockdowns and everyone being confined to their immediate neighbourhoods, forever. It's not rational but it's easy to tie it into a conspiracy theory where the powers that be want to set this system up so that they can introduce restrictions at the drop of a hat and the infrastructure's already there to make it happen.

Yes, this is basically it. My local facebook community started talking abut 15 minute cities and all the anti vax climate change denialists have jumped on it now. I'm not saying my locals are any more stupid or gullible than most, but they're a great barometer of whatever stupidity is going to catch on. In the one that was at the top of the community page when I just logged on, they posted a link to Sharon Davies talking about being silenced on the issue (yes, she was holding a microphone, on a stage, being broadcast online with over 100,000 views - that kind of silencing). This also links it into the other fun topic, yes indeed all your favourite TERFs are going to be getting on board with this conspiracy theory. If these grifters know one thing, it's brand synergy.

The big sprawling estate near me with gently caress all shops in it has the same houses as my just off the high street estate but double the price. I just do not understand prices. In other news. loving hell, i refuse to click this and give it engagement.

Well yes, but we also invented the streetcar suburb or alternatively that's why people want walkable cities so you can have jobs and convenient services... loving insane people who apparently enjoy getting in their car and driving thirty miles to go to the out of town retail park to buy things.
