Having been an avid bicyclist until recently, a 15 minute city had always had some appeal to me. More recently my joining a communal car sharing organization, CommunAuto, made the concept of owning nothing and being happy seem less intimidating.
My feeling is that the big difference between the WEF Elite's outlook and that of the common Joe is that the elite does not trust the rule of the mob while the mob does not trust the authoritarian rule of the elite. In that regard we are in agreement that a 15 minute city under mob control would be preferable to one controlled by elites; if your opinion was understood by me correctly.
I really hope that we can get better than mob rule, but yes.
We need to keep under the maximum number of connections for people. Like 100 people per "city". So, that we are not thinking us vs them, when trying to vote for directions in city management.
And i am sure that we will find more rules, that will seem like common sense, once they are verbalized.
Yes, things like car sharing … well, you have to slow down your life. But then, after, it seems like it was going too fast in the first place.
And another thing to think about. If they environmentalists are actually concerned about the world, why aren't we all riding e-bikes?
Only takes two to tango.
Edit:
My table saw digs into my back when I'm packing it around on the ebike. Also, hauling 16 4x4's for shed posts on an ebike just isn't possible.
Yes, i remember the pain of carrying my tools on my back on my bicycle.
However, you and i know that i was referring to commuter travel, not things that require a truck or a pickup. :-P Imagine trying to deliver food to cities on an e-bike
