        Every time a new apartment or condo development gets built here, there are people in the local community forums who rabble about "15 minute cities" and how they are trying to force us get rid of cars and control our travel. In spite of the fact these buildings are built with parking lots and garages that are as big as, if not bigger than the buildings themselves.

      Always worth remembering that American-style suburbs were a deliberate political project in the postwar period. They didn't "just happen", the government spend billions making them happen at the behest of auto makers, property developers, and racists (but I repeat myself).
