Great piece. While I agree that it's probably not practical for everything to be within a 15 minute walking distance, I think we can get most of the way there.
If we tax land values instead of property and adopt form-based codes over Euclidean zoning, the city businesses and inhabitants would probably arrange themselves into something resembling the core goals of a 15 minute city.
Crucially, this can be done without any form of central planning.
It was nice to see the Alex Colville painting. Did your note say that it was a painting from Fargo, ND. I was confused by the attribution but it does take the view to the Art Gallery of Hamilton (Canada), where it is presumably held. I highly recommend checking out more of Colville’s work. He was one of Canada’s great contemporary painters. Always nice to see a new piece I was unfamiliar with.
I think "15 minute neighborhood" is a bit more accurate than "15 minute city."
