    Yea, the people who fear 15 minute cities are absolutely bizarre. Running across one of these is a clear sign that the person has steeped themselves in all sorts of bullshit.

    Many manufactured theories reverse the repercussions. It’s marketing for the establishment

    Yeah, I hate it when things are more convenient, quicker to accomplish, take up less of the day and allow me to do more in less time! If I can’t spend more than two hours a day stuck in traffic am I even living!?

    The video makes good points, but unfortunately loads of the arguments made in this video could be fuel for these nutjobs to start arguing that cars are over-regulated.

    There are already people who seem happy with low levels of regulation on firearms, I don’t see how they’ll accept the safety argument for car licensing.

    I mean I know the raw stats are fairly easy to show that cars are one of the most dangerous things in the world (ranked up there with thinks like malaria) - but do those people care?

      There’s also a counter argument. Houses are also over regulated with exclusionary zoning. If they like to de-regulate housing then we can start the discussion from there.
