Christine Anderson, a member of the European Parliament, believes that COVID passports and QR codes that became widespread during the pandemic were only test runs for implementing “15-minute cities” aimed at tightening government control over people.
A 15-minute city is a neighborhood where a resident can reach everything they need, like a grocery store, doctor, and so forth within a 15-minute walk. According to Anderson, such cities are the beginning of tighter government control of people. The administration can exert control by deciding “you are no longer allowed to leave your 15-minute immediate area. They don’t have to fence it in or anything. It will be done via digital ID,” she said in an interview with Jan Jekielek’s “American Thought Leaders” program published on April 25.
“If you now fancy another store and it does not happen to be in your neighborhood, guess what? You won’t be going to that store anymore. Like I said, total control is what we’re talking about.”
In Europe, legislation is being pushed forward to set up 15-minute cities. According to Anderson, the Digital Green Certificate, the COVID pass introduced during the pandemic, was only a test run designed to get people used to producing a QR code and related requirements.
“Now, they’re slamming us with these 15-minute cities. Make no mistake, it’s not about your convenience. It’s not that they want you to be able to have all of these places that you need to get to close by. It’s not about saving the planet either,” Anderson said.
“With the 15-minute cities, they will have to have those before they can lock you down, and...”

May those freaks pushing this burn in hell!
I’d like to read the column, but not by signing up with my email address. :-/
You only have to look at the black community in Democrat cities to understand what the real agenda is for 15 cities. It will be sold as a complete lifestyle.
However, once they have you in there, they can reduce the amount of support they give you to subsistence levels to ensure that one never leaves.
Blacks were the experimental community to try and figure out how worldwide communism could be made to work.
I guess these morons never heard of “Company Towns”. We all know how well that worked out when the guy running the place wanted something he got it. Like some newlywed bride! They need to be reminded of what they were really like!
Yep, it’ll end up as an “Escape from New York” scenario.
I don’t see a problem with this idea until government mandates and digital tracking come into play. A good many small towns and neighborhoods may already have such a quality. I would not mind living where the essentials and conveniences are within easy walking distance. There are much greater idiocies of ideology to be concerned about.

This is for when they take the cars away from the little people. “Walking ain’t out of style” as a dictator once said.
There's an app for that:

Ha! A gun store within a 15 minute walk.
Butt, butt, buttt...... Cancelking ‘EEEEE-U’ official in 3 ....2,..... 🤡
It takes longer than 15 minutes to walk across a prison yard.
Let that sink in...
I enjoyed the helpful “context” warning from youtube declaring the “Great REset” was simply an economic recovery plan.
Nobody walks in LA.
Let’s not jump on the panic button here. This sounds more like over-the-top hysteria than a reasoned analysis. We have similar communities scattered all over the US. They’re called “mixed use communities.” They’re zoned for both residential and commercial buildings, and typically have convenient access to public trans. Some include parks and other public attractions. There is one downside: The residential complexes are usually controlled by an HOA, so buyer beware.
Reminds me of the prisoner TV show. Everything seems lovely but Go to far and the white balloons (men in the white suites) get you and bring you.
HAHAHAHA!!!
