“My hot take on “15 minute cities” is if you can get to the coffee shop within fifteen minutes, but the barrista who makes your drink can’t afford to live closer than a half-hour away, then you live in a theme park.” - Gareth Klieber

@danwentzel So many cynical takes. My understanding of the point of the quote is that 15 min cities (available to all, and not just the rich) require LOTS more housing and transit than people imagine, and more diversity of both too. That's the only way to bring people closer to jobs/amenities and compress travel distance/time.
