yeah something like that. who are these studies paid for by? curious to hear the arguments against a 5 or 15 minute city

so 5 minute cities as opposed to 15 minute cities?

most of these "studies" are paid for to skew a particular result

a bit of an out-of-the-box answer, i might have a different opinion if i had a deeper understanding of biology and cutting edge genetics innovations

Hm, it would increase the liveability for sure, though.

hah not my intention… i’m just really skeptical that anyone has that kind of predictive power.

regardless, i’ll take my best guess at your original question and say zoning regulations and electric vehicles.

i think there are studies showing people are happier when they live within a 5 minute walk of their friends, and electric vehicles (scooters, bikes, boards, etc…) might be able to re-shape cities to have higher density, more connection, lower noise, lower stress, and lower costs.

the impact of all of that might be enough to meaningfully change expected lifespans of entire communities.

What coming breakthrough will usher-in a new golden age for humanity?

That's not really nice of you to say, kr-kr, you're inadvertently calling us technical imbeciles.

I'll forgive you if you take another shot, though. 🤫🥰
