Oh sure, and I don’t disagree that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. It’s more that the people who don’t trust governmental bodies to plan such carefully crafted places really do have a point, that theory and practice are entirely different beasts, and being wary or against the idea isn’t just a failure to understand how they’d work or some bonkers conspiracy.
Yeah I agree that the idea alone does not lead to good results. Im the end, a lot of gated communities kind of are a 15min cities.
A good government should take this as a guide and not plan everything, but give a framework to encourage projects that work toward connecting people, places and communities.
