The 15 minute city is a step toward urban gulag where people will be kept like ants in an ant-farm
- The plan to limit dwellers to a 15 minute radius by bicycle or foot traffic is all about mitigating global warming
- It also paves the way for outright "climate lockdown" similar to pandemic lockdowns
Climate lockdowns? Seriously?
- It all sounds a bit ridiculous to suggest a lockdown "for the climate" but listen to the BBC.
- Here they are connecting the "15 Minute City" to the fun of covid lockdowns, and setting this up as though it's totally normal for the government to decide who your friends are
- And furthermore lockdowns in Paris were great social moments where we all made friends
- For Fraioli, the two-month lockdown that began on 17 March - confining her to a 1km radius of her home - gave her a nuanced, enriching view of her neighborhood.
Oxford City Council is moving faster than the rest
- Oxfordshire has just approved a "traffic filters" trial which will turn the city into a "fifteen minute city"
- Residents will have to register their car details with the council and it will track their movements via smart cameras
- Businesses in Oxford are not impressed
- If residents want to leave their zone they will need permission from the council
"The council has adopted the position that climate change is real"
- Oxfordshire council has already infuriated local businesses earlier this year with road closures and traffic calming measures which have reduced the customer base significantly
- Drivers destroyed 20 bollards in less than three weeks, and one frustrated cafe owner put up a giant billboard in protest saying "So much for democracy".
- Even cyclists don't like the traffic slowing measures, saying their road trips are more dangerous
