    God, the alt-right messaging network are desperate to find some messaging to fight urbanism on. In my experience, good urban design is an issue that really resonates with people across the spectrum in the US. That's why they tried to spin the 15-minute city conspiracy. The sad thing is that I know they're eventually going to find one that sticks.

      Conservatives want to retvrn to trvdition but want everything to be 20 minutes away and stay inside their house all day because there's nothing to do in your neighborhood

        Don’t forget they’ve been taught since birth that their neighbors are dangerous and untrustworthy and that there can never be any sense of community beyond the nuclear family

      The 15 minute spin has got to be the most effective pro-car propaganda I've ever heard. Somehow convenience and sidewalks got spun as concentration camps.

        Oh, so you want walkable cities? Do you know where people also walked instead of driving? Auschwitz. Really makes you think.
