Thought-provoking take on 15-minute cities: "If you can get to the coffee shop within fifteen minutes, but the barista who makes your drink can't afford to live closer than a half-hour away, then you live in a theme park." https://urbanists.social/@danwentzel/110144838293500298

@kottke @rmondello And this is why I kind feel like anti-car legislation without housing and public transportation reform is classist bullshit.

@jackwellborn @kottke @rmondello a very regressive interpretation of this problem that, if implemented, will only make the problem worse

@kottke this is EXACTLY what I think our cities have become. I look at Kingston, where I grew up. I barely recognize the downtown anymore. People used to live downtown. Now it's all airB&B for wealthy tourists, and for those who can stand being stacked 20 to a house - student housing.
