We live in an age when the most unobjectionable and necessary ideas for progress can give rise to paranoia and fear. If the most innocuous, unoriginal possible idea can fuel paranoia, how can we hope to have a sensible discussion about the future of our places?
Everyone who is confused by why conservatives are opposed to 15-minute cities, there’s one simple thing to understand:
Conservatives think that city=scary ethnic people, and suburb=nice white people.
Anything that appears to disrupt the urban/suburban divide, they see as another attempt to de-segregate, which they hate.
And they think all of this because why??? ~Strawberry
