In a a capitalist state they may at some level be de facto correct.
My home town is pretty small. Not village size small, like above 50K and under 100K.
Its pretty rural and conservative. The city council got so many complaints about 15 minute cities, they made a press conference about it. They stated “we are not and will never be a 15 minute city.” The first question from the press was how long was the average trip in town.
“15 minutes or less”
That… is dumb all around. 15 minutes by car doesn’t count.
if any Ontario government were to implement this, they would have the choice of either working with the telcos and automakers already harvesting and retaining all of this data TODAY, or have Big Consultant recommend a Made-in-Ontario solution that would end up being about a billion dollars more expensive, take anywhere from 7-20 years longer than the 5 years anticipated, and still probably not work correctly.
they’d pick the latter, I think we’re ok.
