yes. i think we might be agreeing feverishly. “15 minute cities” that are really small, low-amenity suburbs are terrible. “15-minute cities” built at central-city densities, so not only is there “a grocery store” and “a dentist” in 15 mins, but multiple and variety are something else entirely. 1/

the term has been destroyed by mis- and overuse, like no one knows what “organic” means anymore in the US. but genuinely dense, de novo districts transit-connected to a great metropolitan area can really be great things. /fin
