@animeirl The problem is that it wasn't
"15 mins cities" :blobsmiley:
It was
"15 mins cities" :feelsbadman:
It's the UK, so basically any prototype they put up was the most retarded shit you'd have ever seen. They basically have put barrier around residential area that just made it hard to exit and made it hard for emergencies services to come in. People were starting to cut the barriers. This is a WEF bullshit too and there were mass surveillance that was starting to pop up, which people cut too
It's the government, so whatever they decide on will be 120% retarded and won't help anyone whatsoever and isn't what the population wants

@animeirl @thatbrickster oh for sure. I don't have a car myself and I checked for an apartment and it's basically impossible without fucking myself significantly
I just don't trust the government to properly solve this problem

idk about the uk (though it's probably even worse) but more than half of over all car trips in the US are one person traveling under 3 miles. completely absurd use for a car

@thatbrickster @animeirl the net zero thing makes me sweat as it looks like government around the world are acting on extremely not settled science, trying to eliminate cattles and the likes, trying to push electric cars without any good advancements in battery technology along with a grid that won't support it and of course, 0 talks about nuclear energy and the likes and as far as I'm aware the gov are "meeting their targets" often by pushing the pollution unto another country and it's completely retarded
It's not that we shouldn't reduce emissions as much as possible, but it's just that acting rash with no actual good solutions is going to fuck us all in an entirely different way

electric cars are a giant scam but then cars in general are for the most part.

@coolboymew I should note this is individual councils trialing LTNs/15-min cities, not a government thing (yet). Sunak pushed back the Net Zero commitment set by Theresa May before she left office, but I believe it's a facade to save face.
So far, the Lib Dems are the least retarded mainstream party right now IMO. The Conservatives are behind them on the tax burden issue.
