welcome back.
I think a real 15 minute city couldn't really exist in NB, outside of some very few very walkable locations, which doesn't make it a 15 minute city.
While I'd love to see the government massively invest in public transit and affordable high rise apartments that people with jobs might actually want to live in... I'm not sure we will ever see anything like that, even with the current PM who never shuts up about building big, bold, and beautiful. Okay the last one he might not have said, but he's definitely said it countless times now that, "Canada needs to build big, build bold, and build now".
I think Moncton building a 30 storey high rise is an example of building big and building bold... not an example of some sort of plan for a "15 minute city".
Why is investing in public transit and active transit infrastructure so frightening to some people? I just don't get the conspiracy.
