==FAQ==
===="Are you trying to take away my car, you filthy commie?"====
No. We're just trying to design your neighborhood so that you don't ''need'' to drive as much, so you can save some money.
===="But aren't 15-minute cities a conspiracy?"====
No. Some politicians might've tried to twist the meaning, but we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Having things within 15 minutes from home is a good idea.
