Considerations
- Environmental impact of new construction - not as bad as driving, but still significant.
- It would be better to repurpose existing buildings instead, whenever possible.

FAQ
"Are you trying to take away my car, you filthy commie?"
No. We're just trying to design your neighborhood so that you don't need to drive as much, so you can save some money.
"But aren't 15-minute cities just a way for the globalists to try and control everyone?"
I have no idea what are the motivations of the global elites, but we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Having things within 15 minutes from home is a good idea.
