15 minute cities sound amazing

[The Duke]

I like rural living, I don’t want to walk and be within 15 minutes of a neighbor. Some people would like it, I a, not that person.

There's pros and cons to both ways of living. I favor the open area, but others may not.
There's also something to be said for being able to get to 2 different meat markets within 6 minutes.

And a Thai restaurant, too.

I mean, if I could design a subdivision?

It'd have 2 convenience stores, several fast food joints. 2 banks, all streets would run N S E W , a lawnmower shop, a gun shop/shooting range. 2-3 grocery stores

and several clothing boutiques, also several restaurants.

I guess a 9-hole golf course, a community fishing pond where fishing is allowed. a lake for people that wanna do lake stuff maybe with docks tied to your address.

A field for..activities. Picnics, volleyball games, pickup football game, whatever. A bicycle/running path, yeah! Help me out here, what else would make it good?

I could thrive with all the things aforementioned, that's for sure. Schools k-12. Maybe a dance/music joint or 2. 2-3 bars.

It'd have to be kinda big.

What about a monorail ?

You mean places where Jews were forcibly herded before they were exterminated.?
That is nonsense as well as offensive.

Nobody is being forced anywhere.

The "15-minute-city" has its perks and its drawbacks.

1 drawback I can think of is the similarity to certain Warsaw ghettos.

That's a plus (a big plus) for the left.

Not having to listen to other peoples music is my red line.I grew up in that environment. Soundproofing makes life so much better.

Sure, convenient public transportation.

There's always that Puerto-Rican with a speaker out the front door in the hood.

Hope you like..oh no..what's it called? It's not Salsa..Merengue? I don't think that's what I was thinking of, dammit!

We'll go with Merengue for now, until I think of the real word. Blaring @ full blast 100 watts all day and half the night.

I would just ride the monorail to the pub. In fact I would ride it all day for the buzz.

I don't need soundproofing because I have no nosy neighbors within earshot.
