I'm drawn to these arguments like rubber necking a car accident. Strange but normal on a bell curve. But yup, I'm bored. Maybe I retired too early. Maybe reading some banned books will fill the time....hmmm, Steinbeck! I fully accept and understand the car accident part. But who banned Steinbeck for high school kids?

So it appears Buffalo, NY and St Louis, MO are on the list: https://study.com/academy/lesson/why-was-the-grapes-of-wrath-banned-censorship-controversy.html. Florida has been debunked but good catch.

Roundybout Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I have never seen a group of people more utterly terrified of things they don't understand. For the record, the "15-minute-city" is an urban planning concept where everything needed for a healthy life is available within a 15-minute radius, with no need for a car. It's designed to create more sustainable, more lively and exciting cities akin to what we had before urban renewal. Naturally, the far right has decided this is some NWO globalist cabal thing that turns cities into prison camps. It has absolutely no bearing on reality beyond something for pathetic, uneducated losers to scream about. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit I don't know much about certain topics, but I hold a masters degree in urban planning and work as a professional planner, so I know what I'm talking about here. The 15-minute city is a planning concept for increasing walkability and freedom to move without a car being required. Ever hear that Grandmaster Flash song "The Message?" Great line in it - "Cuz' it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny - gotta have a car in this land of milk and honey ... " "Never leave without a travel pass" my god dude, this is insanity. The point is you don't NEED a car to go to the grocery store. Like how it was in American cities for 100 years. No one is going to impound your Chevy Tahoe (though I do wish they would be banned in cities out of the interest of pedestrian safety). https://www.cnu.org/publicsquare/2021/02/08/defining-15-minute-city#:~:text=The “15-minute city”,travel distance of 15 minutes. I'm sorry you find anything that isn't a McMansion something for the "poors." I agree that NIMBYism extends to the wealthy too, but given that housing prices have skyrocketed in urban areas, it's proof that the well-to-do desire living in dense and lively urban neighborhoods. I know I do. I cannot believe that right wingers have taken a concept meant to INCREASE freedom and decided it's anti-freedom. It's truely remarkable how terrified they all are of anything new.

The people that talk about designed plans like that, think they wouldnt be part of it. The people in the homes with land, are not giving it up to go live like a pleb. Being isolated to some 15 minute prison is not freedom. They only sky rocket in the genderfied areas. aint no one investing or buying a home over buy the tops.

LeviF Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 @Roundybout Then go move there dude. Nothing’s stopping you. I lived downtown in a mid size metro for years, I understand what it is you’re looking for. But those places are vanishingly rare. Once I got married I couldn’t justify making my bride park on the street or take the bus at night considering the, erm, increasing vibrancy of the city and neighborhood. We rented a place on the city’s outer limits for a bit before we bought a house in the burbs. Country club is around the corner, shopping complex is five minutes by car or twenty minute walk. Two parks within a five minute walk from my front door, including the local little league field. I have 1650 square feet on 1/3 of an acre and paid $200k for the privilege. Put up a white picket fence last summer to complete the picture. And my kids can play in the yard or even in the street once they’re older like I used to growing up. Life is good brother. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
