    Right, so let’s say we do it, we have 15 minute cities everywhere and I want to see my aunt in Arizona, but I live in Seattle. Now what? How do you feel about motorcycles, electric bikes and scooters? Let’s say that I hate Amazon and want to keep small businesses in business, we don’t have that type of small business in my 15 minute city, do I bike 3 hours to the next one? Are you going to remake the economy?

    You guys have to be trolling me, right? This is my last comment because I suspect you guys are.

    • I think 15 minute cities are great, people should accommodate the people that want them
    • The 15 minute cities won’t solve the corporation problem of hogging all of the resources and it seems like a distraction from them being the problem.
    • You need transit, not everyone is 18-24, naive, and healthy with no kids

    Good luck!

      Take a plane, a train, or an automobile!

      How do you feel about motorcycles, electric bikes and scooters?

      I’m fine with them. I’d prefer that they stayed off sidewalks, but that’s my only real thought on them.

      If you want to. I think a lot of the other commenters suggested using public transit. You could also drive. Maybe they do mail order?

      All of the comments I’ve read haven’t mentioned transit, or have been transit positive.
