By every measure, 1 hour cities, built for cars, suck when compared to 15 minute cities built for people.

Yeah, but this isn’t just urbanism. It’s about why spaces for people have been absolutely destroyed by cars and how to reverse that trend. That info can also help people who live in small towns (multiple Strong Town awards recipients have been small towns)
I looked that up, no. I’ve been to a couple of the recent winners in Ohio. No, not how I want to live. Every picture is crowded areas with lots of people milling about. Hell on Earth.
Sure, then you should still advocate for it so that more people live away from you rather than near you. Suburbia will continue to consume land to try to justify its existence, which is a threat to your way of life.
Good point. My way of life and what I want it to be are very different. Grew up lower middle class suburban and escaping to somewhere like Michigan’s UP would be hard, there’s not much work and I would be starting with nothing. I just don’t like people, even here in suburbia I feel penned in and surrounded.
