PREPARE for the Indefinite Climate Lockdown - IS IT REALLY PASSED? | SHTF
This guy conflates 15-Minute Cities with travel restrictions. They are two separate things, although they are not mutually exclusive. The idea of a 15-Minute City is a good one. Basically it's just the idea that everything you need is always within fifteen minutes and so there's no need to travel all over the place to get stuff. 15-Minute Cities can exist without travel restrictions and travel restrictions can be implemented in many different ways. The easiest is to just make travel super expensive. If travel is expensive enough and you live in a 15-Minute City, you'd probably consider not even owning an automobile.

BoraxBill: Here's my take on the issue:
1) Well-organized cities where people can walk to work and walk to stores is a good idea.
2) Restricting the freedom to travel is a bad idea.
I'm in favor of intelligent urban planning and I'm in favor of efficient transportation options.

What impact did lockdowns have on carbon emissions?
Lockdowns make a difference, but they are unsustainable.
