I've seen Facebook nutters screaming about 20mph limits in residential neighbourhoods.

Apparently this is a Chinese scheme called "20 minute neighbourhoods" to prevent anyone travelling outside their hometown. I'm not entirely sure of the fucking mental gymnastics required for those leaps of logic. I decided not to argue, because nobody wins pigeon chess, and also she was kind of hot.

The concept of 15 minute cities is just urban planning being used as the boogeyman.

And that basically is what we have in the Netherlands and it's awesome. Literally everyone raves about how nice it is when they see it but they hate evil government 15 minute cities

It's not like Canada hasn't had 30 km/h school zone speed limits forever. They're completely deranged, you did good not arguing.
