Anyone remember the public housing projects in New York City?

First I've heard of the 15-minute city concept. The problems are, as you note, obvious. Apart from the incompatibility with private ownership of property, there's the inevitable "cookie-cutter" outcome, as the central planners aren't apt to put any effort into creating diverse "zones." Just a bunch of cookies, or if you prefer, silos, with the expectation that each stand unto itself yet mirror all the others.

Ain't no liberty in the silos.
