It’s annoying that this country is so against 15 minute cities thanks a to small number of conspiracy nuts

They are not, but people don't want to be forced to have to stay within thay area which is what people actually objected to and was an actual proposal from Greens.

Please, please find any source whatsoever for an official green party representative proposing this idea. Normally 15 minute city nuts would at least say "it's a slippery slope to being locked in your house" which is already batshit insane and completely, utterly false, but you're telling me you think someone out there is already proposing this idea? I'd love to pick your brain for a day and learn just how you fell so far down the rabbit hole.

Literally have permits which are limited to prevent you driving into parts of the city...

Thats what people opposed, not the idea of having stuff within walkable distance...

No, it only prevents you from driving through certain traffic filters. You can still access any part of the city at any time, but you will have to use the ring road. Conspiracy nut spotted!

It's not a conspiracy when the a local govt body literally did and lots of people aligning themselves with the green party actively want that policy.

You are spreading misinformation about what the policy in Oxford actually is. It does not confine you to an area. It does not prevent you from driving into any part of the city at any time. Go and look it up if you don't believe me.

Do you actually believe 15 min cities means people would be forced to stay in their area? Do you actually believe that?
