  • It seems that I could only find about 18 countries with mandates. That hardly accounts for most of them. There have been an increasing effort to make them but that doesn’t really show that fossil fuel companies are in a losing battle. If anything, they’ve gone up.

    I don’t see how the conspiracy, which is what is is, has anything to do with government overreach and digital currencies. The conspiracies usually go into weird territory about being cut off from using your car or similar nonsense. Creating a walkable city is really very easy to do once you weed out the political roadblocks, which is of course much easier said than done. The end result wouldn’t be limiting people’s movement. If anything it would be expanding it when done right.

    You do have a point that it can be nearly impossible depending on the country or the city and how much of a grip corporate interests have. My own country has done pretty well with what you might call “15 minute cities.” It probably helps that local government or the cities that built the way they are don’t have a strong multinational presence in them.
