i think there is good reason to believe people’s current way of life is broken and should be re-designed.
it’s quite common for people to commute an hour in the morning and an hour at night, seems like a total waste of life.
why not design cities in such a way that everyone can live near their work and get the freedom of an extra 10 hours of their life each week?
please, this is a very important point: new order always emerges from chaos. but the question is how it emerges. it should not be planned centrally again. People, smaller units, subsidiary institutions and networks create their own order even without a command economy. that would give the state full power again.

sure, i agree that 15 minute cities don’t have to be centrally planned. i even agree that cities without central planning can be more robust and vibrant.
but i still don’t see how it’s possible to defend the current situation of commuting 10 hours a week to and from work in a city.
