      15 minute cities are about as organic as “two weeks to flatten the curve”. There’s a reason they don’t exist, it’s not a practical idea. Just like every other idea children come up with.

        Yeah, except all of those old European cities and newer Soviet built ones had (and in most cases still have) everything close to 15 minutes away.

          Correct, they’d use a horse or a mule. Cars are an improved horse. Walking and biking are hobbies at best.
