This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

But we can't have 15 minute cities because...that's tyranny somehow?

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.

That used to be the model. Go look at old pictures. Those people were not walking hours to get groceries.

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