I know urban zoning laws in this country are anachronistic. However, libtards don't want us owning and driving private autimobilies, even the electric variety.

They highlight the folly of centralized municipal planning, even if no one is actually trying to lock you into your neighbourhood
The backlash against Edmonton's "City Plan" shows that Canadians are finally starting to realize that municipalities are centrally planned bureaucracies intent on exerting social control over businesses and residents.
The controversy surrounds city hall's long-term plan to turn Edmonton into a "15-minute city" by the time its population hits two million — about double what it is today. While it will initially focus on widening sidewalks and building trails to "encourage walking," as Mayor Amarjeet Sohi put it, the ultimate goal is that every Edmontonian will be able to access most services within a 15-minute commute by foot, bike or public transit.
Trying to turn Edmonton into Manhattan was bound to receive pushback.
Yet it is not a stretch to say that these measures are an attempt at social engineering — the Oxfordshire county council explicitly states that one of its goals is to "reduce unnecessary journeys by private vehicles and make walking, cycling, public and shared transport the natural first choice." Nor is it folly to suggest that this is part of a war on cars being waged by governments around the world and bolstered by climate alarmists in academia.
A recent report from the Climate and Community Project at the University of California, Davis argues that it's not enough to simply force everyone to buy electric vehicles to combat climate change, as Canada's Liberal government is in the process of doing. That would create too much demand for the lithium used in batteries, resulting in "large-scale mining" and all the "social and environmental harm" that comes with it.
Rather than constantly trying to control what can and cannot be built by fiat, and fixing problems caused by old zoning laws with new ones, cities would be better off simply doing away with most zoning restrictions, which would likely serve the same goals of increasing density and the number of commercial services operating in many neighbourhoods. Allowing more toll roads to be built with private funds would likewise help reduce congestion and save taxpayer dollars, without prohibiting people from driving on roads that were bought and paid for with their money.

looks like a push for unsafe electric cars.
15 minute cities are coming either by carrot or stick.
They want us consolidated and more easily managed in a Neo-Feudalistic scenario. Everybody who refuses them will be ostracised, cut off from their tax paid benefits, and treated like scum by the approved media outlets. They'll essentially be cancelled.
They won't be able to easily access banking, take out loans, find health/property insurance, receive adequate schooling for their children, travel into these centres.
So basically, any slum or ghetto for the last 70 years... but in reverse.
I saw a video on Bitchute about 15 minute cities, so its a conspiracy theory. Move along, nothing to see here. lulz

I believe cities should be freed from the business regulations that make it difficult to start small shops and cosy cafes in residential neighbourhoods. An exciting mixed-use neighbourhood can be one of the best gifts of urban entrepreneurship.
But the basic concept of a 15-minute city is not really a city at all. It's an enclave, a ghetto , a subdivision. All cities should be archipelagos of neighbourhoods, but these neighbourhoods must be connected. When movement is restricted or rationed so are opportunities and liberty.

The fifteen minute plan for Oxford makes it a sister city with Pyongyang.
I recently saw CCTV foortage of residents in Bath and Oxford pulling out the bollards in the dead of night and filling the holes with concrete. Needless to say the officials were not as amused as I was.

I have been reading more about fifteen minute cities. Any city in Canada that implements fifteen minute city plans will do it in stages. They now if they go full Oxford right away, there will be some big protests.
I saw a Sky News blurb about what Oxfordshire did. I do not understand how anyone could accept their municipal government taking away their freedom.
A writer I like wrote a rainbows and unicorns editorial about 15 minute cities. The problem with his roasy view of 15 minute cities is that Oxfordshire has quotas for people who venture outside their zones. After so many trips, fines are omposed.
Quote
But in reality, it's more about creating new communities and slowly retrofitting older ones so that it's not mandatory to get into a motor vehicle for every single trip, no matter how short.
As the saying goes, we should be using the right tools for the right job.
For those of us who can physically make full use of our feet, they're the best transportation tool, conveniently attached to our bodies and ready to hit the road/sidewalk/path/trail any time.
There are enough real-life injustices in our world worthy of our collective anger.
There's no need to run (or drive) around to conjure up fake ones.

More like sheep actually. A lot of them are still wearing their cherished chin diapers and bleating for a resumption of the mask and vaccine mandates. Emperor's New Clothes on steroids basically.
Most Australians are stupid, it comes from being a welfare state I'm convinced. You wait; a fifteen minute city is being rolled out in Unley (a suburb of Adelaide, South Australia) at the moment. I'm willing to bet that eventually enough Aussies will accept the glowing MSM reports of how well it's worked out and get to bleating indignantly should anyone gainsay any of it.
They should probably change the opening line of their national anthem to "Australians all let us rejoice for we are all nannied"... truth in advertising you know.
