you’re telling me good zoning, affordable housing, and “15 minute” cities are ALSO good economic decisions and not just the socially responsible thing to do?? there’s no way!

i would never have guessed!

Okay but hear me out what if we just knock everything down to build one reeeaaaallly nice house for one guy and surround it with stadiums and highways and a TGI Fridays and made rent $1000000000 would that not also solve all our problems?

Anne Hidalgo and her 15-minute city concept specifically does not include any upzoning - to the contrary, Hidalgo said it was a good thing that Paris lost population as the working class left for cheaper suburbs with 45- and not 15-minute commutes.
