    Is this all just from some proposal to build walkable urban areas? Is there anything at all forbidding movement and making it so people “can’t go to any area that is more than 15 minutes from you”?

      YES. I don't know why the chuds here are freaking out about this. They literally just want everyone in Edmonton to have the experience the rich do in Old Strathcona or Jasper, that you can walk out and buy your shit, go to school, etc all in your surrounding neighborhood.

      I don't know why they think that making amenities accessible = no one is allowed to leave. Just chud anxiety and their desire for their own oppression. Or maybe it's just a paroxysm as the material world demands, like, a ghg-less or vegan future (our premiere here, like a governor, is I think the first one in North America to like demand regulations ensure gasoline cars are always available as they are phased out elsewhere lol).

      NIMBYs have no arguments so they settle on emotional fearmongering about the words they put into people's mouths.

      I'd actually somewhat respect them more if they were honest and said "I am too lazy to walk".
