Apparently, you are so starved for entertainment that you need to get it from a politician.

But not so great for people who live in neighborhoods afflicted by it.

I don't see how you can equate a maximum of 15 minutes for any destination, which is the goal of the 15 minute city program, with consistent time of 15 minutes for any destination no matter how near or far. Given that your faulty understanding of the parameters would actually make trips longer then the average, it would actually make it sound worse than what is clearly means.

The only objectively confirmable evidence I have is that converting from centimeters to inches was a problem for you. Maybe next time you'll offer serious responses instead of lame wisecracks.

Actually, the problem would seem to be your incomplete mastery of arithmetic.

Utterly irrelevant comment. It's clear you're attempting to distract from the fact that "factual truth" means whatever you want it to mean. You've got nothing.

No. Just because the definition comes from the U.S. census bureau doesn't mean that areas the fit the definition don't exist elsewhere. This is like saying that if you're in a country that uses the metric systme it's impossible to measure in inches.

It's not true that Boris Johnson always lies. It's just that it's a complete matter of indifference to him if he does. Most people have at least some brakes on that kind of behavior.

So, what exactly do you mean by "factual truth"? In order to calibrate what you mean by "factual truth, here's a question for you: Is it a factual truth that Biden's victory of Trump was legimitate and the claims of major vote fraud that would have affected the outcome are false? I'm only asking this question to see what your standards are and if they are worth anything.

The point of my question was obvious. Traffic congestion is a huge problem in Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Areas?. Are you claiming that your alleged experience contradicts this?

Thanks for the correction. But the question posed by Connda remains a dishonest one. The 15 minute city concept does not limit people from driving as far and as long as they want to.

You mean, despite the widespread use of automobiles in Franklin's time, he couldn't have envisioned that outcome? I think there's something wrong with my question, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Can you help?

So we both got it wrong. You ignored the fact that his question is tied to the concept of 15 minute cities. And, of course, what you don't note that it's actually a question based on a dishonest premise. No one is proposing to limit driving to a 15 minute range. People in those cities can drive as far as they want to. They can access neighboring areas. They just will be fined if they take the shortest route by distance and that route involves directly crossing from on district to another.

In other words, you've got nothing. I personally have no doubt that Hunter Biden got a lot of business due to his Joe Biden being father. We also know that Hunter Biden is not the most honorable person. Who knows what he told business associates about his ties to his father and what, if any, relation it bore to the truth?

There is nothing so lame as offering as a rebuttal events which haven't yet occurred. Anyway, are you still wiping the egg off of your face because of the outcome of the 2020 election? Anyway, I promise you that in the unlikely event that your prediction comes true, I won't be claiming fraud or malfeasance to explain away my error. Can you say the same?

Obviously not. Will you be denting your fender if you drive into a neighboring district in a 15 minute city? Can emergency vehicles, delivery vehicles, and public transport vehicles drive through a fence unscathed?

False. Here's the topic as Connda wrote it: "Do you support "15 minute cities" in order to save the planet from man-made global warming?"

It's a 15 minute maximum. Not a uniform 15 minutes. How would that even be possible?

I'll recast my question: You do any driving in Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Areas? Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Areas An area that meets the requirements to qualify as an MSA and also has a population of one million or more becomes a CMSA if component parts of the area are recognized as PMSAs. https://www2.census.gov/geo/pdfs/reference/GARM/Ch13GARM.pdf If you care to know what a PMSA is, it's in the link.

Your analysis takes no account of how congestion and gridlock affect driving times and the effect they have on people living in those neighborhoods. In America lots of drivers are using something called WAZE. It directs them to routes that avoid the worst congestion. What this has led to is local streets being inundated with traffic. In some cases locals have actually illegally blockaded their streets to keep out this WAZE generated traffic. Why should the rights of drivers be paramount? Even relatively new cities the expanded greatly after the advent of automobiles suffer the ill effects of traffic congestion. Even more so older cities that weren't created with any notion of the automobile. I noticed that in Bangok, nearly 200000 people were hospitalized due to pollution recently. Part of that pollution came from automobiles. But it's not automobile drivers who are paying the medical costs. In effect, others are paying for it. It's what's called an implicit subsidy.

I should have written So they won't be stopped from getting to where they want to go; they won't be prisoners; they just won't be able to go through adjoining neighborhoods unless they pay a fine.

As for delay, delay, delay, hasn't that been the M.O. of Trump's legal team?

Please share with us your evidence that Biden has his hand in the cookie jar? Are you claiming that he committed tax fraud? His statements are a matter of public record. Or, as per usual, are you just making things up?

Well, to be more accurate, it doesn't really matter if the attorney actually conspires or not.. All that matters is that there is strong evidence of a crime. So whether Trump misled his attorney or conspired with his attorney, the likelihood of an underlying crime is strong. I suppose it's even possible that Corcoran drafted the document without Trump's input. But for obvious reasons, that seems overwhelmingly unlikely. And even then, that would be an underlying crime.

Well, climate change is all about trends. Droughts have always happened and always will. The question is are they getting more frequent and more severe. The latest IPCC report has this breakdown by regions to show the effect of human caused climate change on droughts. https://www.carbonbrief.org/explainer-what-the-new-ipcc-report-says-about-extreme-weather-and-climate-change/
