Fifteen-minute city paranoia is weird. Oh no, not resources within walking distance! The horror!
Exactly. It also leaves MORE room for those that actually need a car. It literally is in the best interest of everybody.
I think what's going on here is tribalism. And suddenly bitcoiners support big government conservative or big government communist talking points because "the other team" likes it. Mindless low-IQ tribalism

Imagine unironically defending the idea that government should start locking people into a city for their own “convenience” and banning motor vehicles.
There is no way to build a new town/city without roads and vehicle access.
Plenty so called bitcoiners just undercover bootlicking statists.

Imagine unironically wanting to be locked into a desert where you can't escape except through a single highway road with a machine and gasoline
start locking people into a city
Are you an idiot? Cities have thousands of roads in&out. Suburbs are easy to be locked because a single road leads to the highway and few gas pumps are enough to centrally contol a whole region.
and banning motor vehicles.
Nobody wants to ban them. You can own one and drive where ever you want. And due to people doing this more rarely you have more space on the road when you do so.

You're just a communist wanting big government to plan your life and control your life like a barbie-dream-house with pre-planned daily lives.
Internalized communism makes you want the government to plan your whole life beginning from the walmart you go to, which gas pump you use and where you are allowed to live your live in a square of 2k sq ft. I actually cannot comprehend how you want such a NPC life as a brick in the wall

internalized communism because I'm arguing for free market city planning. right.
or do I have it wrong? HOW are you supposing these "car-less" villages are going to set up???

I wonder who’s gonna MANDATE your brilliant plan? Ngmi with that attitude bro

Suburbs are the most government planned and centrally controlled places ever.
If you let free market economy decide investors always decide to use space like the free markets is willing to buy it - which is never 2k sq ft prison cells

please explain reality then genius and how your plan of mandating city design BY THE GOVERNMENT is going to improve anything?
