15-minute cities

Chobham said:
It's all about taxes and tax base. From what I can see so far a lot of cities administrations are pissing the money away on projects related to Federal grant monies involving transportation. Transportation that goes from one nowhere to another. And the same can be said for many of the states. If you want small business to grow and thrive you have to put taxes in place to encourage same and in most communities/states that's a serious obstacle. Lawmakers and tax authorities would rather get checks from a few large concerns rather than have to deal with a multitude of small concerns. It's the taxing side of the 'Big Box' mentality.

Chernosoth has hit on a truism. Communities are organic and go through natural life cycles. They are born, mature, and then decline. A new generation takes advantage of the declining property prices and rebuilds the community. This occurs on a 40 year cycle. The trick for the various cities is to identify those neighborhoods that are near the end of their life cycle and to implement the "15 minute" program there. The down side is that this necessarily requires that the low income owners/renters be displaced. There is NO alternative to that. Low income properties are generally dirty, poorly maintained, and attract crime. NO ONE wants to invest in those areas.

The transportation is for poor people that live in what you consider to be nowhere...the ones who can't afford cars.

“An advanced city is not one where even the poor use cars, but rather one where even the rich use public transport.”

-Enrique Peñalosa
 
The rich are not ever going to use public transportation.

The poor have a proclivity towards things like kidnapping, ransom and death...

You forgot a proclivity towards needing public transportation
 
Do they.

Of course, you have proof of that contention that lies outside of your limited imagination.

Bonus: Define "good" for our edification and where these "good" transport systems exist.

Yes, they do.
You of course have proof of your claim, right?
Maybe you’ll have better luck next time.
 
I think that at birth instead of slapping your ass, your doctor hit you with a stupid stick.

We breathlessly await your answers because so far all you have done is be contentious without basis.

That's YOU not being able to back up anything you said, because it just felt good to say it in the moment.

Another post and still nothing to back up your claim. Now you’re resorting to personal attacks because you know you were wrong.
You won’t be able to do worse next time.
 
*chuckle*

You cannot prove that the rich use public transportation so you demand I prove a negative, that they don't use it without realizing that my proof is your complete inability to meet my original challenge, that you demonstrate who and where are these rich people using public transportation. Or maybe perhaps, you're defining rich down to the granularity of "middle-class" because it's the only way that your contention is true?

No one asked you to prove a negative.
You’re not having a good day today. Maybe tomorrow will be better for you.
 
Show us where I "made something up."

The closest I came was stating the obvious – you won't find Warren Buffet on the J-Train...

Unless, of course, you have some proof that the rich use busses and subways to get around, which you don't.

You didn’t say that. Good try though. Maybe you’ll do better on your next try.
