Tech workers in San Francisco plan to create a square-mile downtown 'commune' that allows people to 'live, eat and work' all within a 15-minute walk A utopia-like space is set to be launched on March 11 in downtown San Francisco City Campus was created by four community builders' It is supposed to have everything that people need within a 15-minute walk
Tech workers in San Francisco have planned to create a downtown 'commune' that will allow people to 'live, eat and work' all within a 15-minute walk.
Set to be launched on May 11, City Campus, a nonprofit, plans to create a one-square-mile 'campus' in the Hayes, Alamo and Duboce neighborhoods. The exact location of City Campus has not yet been established.
According to the nonprofit's website, the goals of the new urban space is for people to 'find and pursue you life's work, meet inspiring collaborators, live near friends, raise kids in community, do focused work and engage in civic and social life.'
The plan was created by four 'community builders', Patricia Mou, Thomas Schulz, Jason Benn and Adi Melamed.
'The synergy of bumping into people that are working on or doing the same stuff creates this very positive cycle,' Schulz told the San Francisco Chronicle.

Some of the places expected to make up the utopia-like community are communal cafeterias, late-night cafes, civic spaces, debate halls, community experiences, 'pluralistic and secular spiritual spaces,' 'multi-purpose co-working spaces,' and 'mixed-use daycares,'
'It’s finding everything you need and everyone you love within a 15 minute walk.' Benn said.

” In Manhattan, it’s a 5-minute walk.”
But, it is a 30 minute ride on the train to where you can park your car?
“Live, eat, and work.”.....Wait, we’re talking San Francisco. We forgot one........”Live, Eat, work, and POOP”
If you live in Manhattan, you don’t need a car.
That’s what they want for all of us, i.e., 15-Minute Cities. It’s easier for the government elitists to monitor and control the hoi polloi that way.
Officials say that the requirement of a QR code to enter or leave the archipelago Îles-de-la-Madeleine will only be for tourists, while residents will be required to show their driver’s licence to enter or leave.
The decision to require a QR code and identification for the municipality’s 12,000+ residents came after the municipal government announced they would begin charging all visitors who come to Îles-de-la-Madeleine $30, something which hasn’t gone down well with the locals or their family members who visit them.

They will help build their own prison. The wake up call will be when they discover they will need permission to leave this “prison”.
I prefer my own 15-minute town in rural TN.
...A utopia-like space....
Sounds like a prison.
Will they build a wall?
I like walls
Would love to see what they do if their internet access is cut off.
When worked in Manhattan 30 years ago, that was true. I walked from the station to my office almost every day. If the weather was unusually bad, I took the subway.
However, I have needed to go into Manhattan with my wife a number of times in the last few months, and we have needed to take a cab more times than in the previous 30 years.
(Manhattan subways and many of the streets are now "No Country for Old Men (and Women)")
That’s not the same thing as living in Manhattan and mostly having what you need around the corner.
This is called a “pump and dump” where property owners push for some scheme in order to sell their property to the sucker who buys it.
And most stuff can easily be delivered.
If you’re in a doorman building, no ned to be there either.
(Or just have a good super.)
That was an interesting typo.
I’ve always remembered the date for having a personal connection to it — even for involving a date typo, oddly enough — which is why it jumped right off the page for me.
Yep - I remember walking the 2 short blocks to Mrs. Allen’s, corner store - and after we moved, Dominic’s was just 100 yards away.
Ummm...they already do:
the homeless will love there new place!
For retail, you hopped a bus and went downtown.
