    Is this the latest horror from the WEF?

    It sounds like conspiracy theory nonsense but damn I wouldn't put anything past them these days. This is why they're so into the "Metaverse" and such...just put on the goggles and live in a world we control totally. You'll own nothing and be happy...or else.

      maybe the wef has had some related ghoulish idea, but this is pretty clearly a conspiracy theorist who misunderstood the basic concept of walkable cities

        There is a WEF initiative of the same name, or at least the WEF has latched onto the same phrase to describe livable places. Anti-lockdown forums are mostly chuds and have been buzzing about it for a while.

        Probably best for mayors to avoid the term entirely unless it's really a hill they want to die on. Just focus on municipal solvency.

        Even if the WEF aren't their usual cynical selves when discussing it and they do mean "you should be able to walk 15 minutes to satisfy the vast majority of your needs", because of the WEF association it will be spun as "globohomo wants you confined to 15min radius of your pod".
