Have you heard anything about some 15 second's city stuff?
Give us the details if you know something.

Yes. They are also planning 5-minute cities, where you live in a long narrow glass wall with 9 million other people on whatever 2% of the square footage of London is. It’s basically a prison dressed up as progression.
The 15-minute cities are Paris, Oxford, and a few others I can’t remember. You can only go 15-minutes from your home, in any direction. You will have a certain number of passes to go further than 15-minutes, but once you use all your passes for one year, you will be fined for going more than 15-minutes from your home. Just call it a larger prison with a bit more leg room than the 5-minute cities. At least you will know your cell mates, they are your neighbors, and your home is your cell.
Oxford starts next year.

That’s true. We know they never stop with one restriction. First, it will be you get 100 passes in a year (which is dystopian as it is), then they’ll find an excuse to cut down on the passes, then it will depend on your social credit score if you can leave or not. You have to be a good girl and boy to have certain freedom of movement.
The big takeaway is when your enemy wants to weaken you, they divide you. It’s much easier to conquer a small number at a time. @Stereoguy

@Stereoguy well this works pretty good in developing countries, it may be the best way to buy a home. But I would rather live in a tiny house, unattached to other homes, on a small plot of land than to buy into one of these planned communities if given the choice. There are perks in the communities for those who don’t have vehicles….everything they needs….groceries, housewares, clothing, restaurants are there within walking distance, no need to have a garage to park a car if you don’t have one, and the buses are coming every 15-30 minutes to take people to the city for jobs or other reasons.

@Stereoguy In recent time many farmers committed suicide in your place , and their farms were sold to businessmen .
Businessmen are making their personal dream projects there , private cities , etc .
Who holds the land , holds the country . They also run the government , and common public is only sheep .
Today , even farm land is attractive in Usa .
What if most of the country's land belonged to the original owners , and not to corporate and temporary government who will sell more government land to their favourite businessmen .
