    I find the far-right fear-mongering over 15 minute cities is such a bizarre battle for them to choose to fight.

    To the average voter, if you tell them that urban planners want to ensure more of the key amenities people need - GPs, schools, shops, parks, etc - are within walking distance of their home, they would tell you that’s a great idea. Why on earth would anyone pick that as a thing to oppose, unless they’re a moron or they’re paid for by carmakers?
