I completely agree with you ! I read somewhere that acess to mobility should be a righ to every citizen and couldn't agree more. I'm privileged enough to live in Montreal where many neighborhood are by essence 15 min cities. Verdun in particular gives you access to summer and winter outdoor sports and nature, groceries, hospitals, doctors, schools, easy access to public transit within that 15 min window ! In France many villages are built following this rule too as before cars no time was wasted on long commutes. We need to reclaim back our spaces, nature and life without cars where cars would be used in case of absolute necessity to get to remote places and not for commuting within a city!
