The only way 15-minute cities could realistically work for mass numbers of people in this country is if all white collar work were to be done remotely. It’s just not feasible to expect that a job in whatever field you choose will always be available within walking distance. You could pick up and move, but if you have…

Considering how they are financially motivated to undercut the true value of a car so they don’t have to pay out as much on claim settlements, I will take any value advice they give with a HUGE grain of salt and trust more independent sources more.

I wouldn’t put it quite this way as there should definitely be some feet being held against the fire... but I do think it’s a better sign than not. It was much more worrying that many of these same corporations dialed back support when they got pushback.

I am NOT going to Idaho for this or any other car/truck. Do they even have airports in Idaho?

I don’t know if I’d take pricing advice from an insurance company. 

Absolutely. But given how long it’s going to take us to get rid of cars and trucks, using vehicles that use far less, and emit less as well, seems a bit premature. And although the article doesn’t say so, some might be electric? 

HA! Not exactly. But with the same determination if not thrill.

We've spent decades building cities wrong, actively hostile to walkability, and I think on some level a lot of people pick up that change starts eith improving things for a relatively privileged minority who live in the few places scaled for walking, through hindering the rest of our access to those places. If they…

Honestly, those small towns should function on the 15 minute city logic too. Really they used to function that way. I grew up in true small town Minnesota (ok fine, actually outside that town on 5 acres of brush and trouble). When I was growing up, that town of 900 people had two small grocery stores, a hardware store…

I hope you meant this to be as filthy as I read it.

It’s called a suburb/rural areas 20-30 minutes out of the city, or in a 2nd/3rd tier city lol.

It’s amazing what people will believe rather than admit that they and the assumptions they have lived by for years are wrong. The opposition to 15-minute cities is absolutely stupid. Making the most agonizing places to drive walkable and also hopefully accessible by public transportation is a win-win. It’s always…

Here, in the good ole US of A, urban planning falls under the realm of socialism to way too many people.  And you know, how socialism plays with a large enough part of the population.

After the sea levels raise a bit, it’ll still be convenient since rowing a canoe is about the same speed as walking! 

Taught myself to drive stick on the loveseat when I was 15 - I’d still prefer the Civic.
