You cannot simultaneously have both a "15-minute city" and a free market. The ability to choose which church, cultural center, or stores that you will do business with, is predicated on having more than one accessible to you.

"Only the taxpayer gets hurt when the CCTVs are taken down" On the contrary, the harm to the taxpayer had already been done when they were put up, and the only further harm to the taxpayer would be if they were replaced.

@SeedsofEcofrog No. The taxpayer does not get hurt, for the reason I pointed out; the hurt had already been done. If the CCTV had not been put up in the first place, the taxpayer would not have been hurt.

"McMansions are soul-deadening because there's no social element involved, no community center nearby" McMansions are meant to be filled with children, who provide the social element, and the automobile you have lets you drive to whatever shopping or cultural center you prefer. Most (non-Catholic-parish) churches are "gathered" churches, where people from a large number of postal codes will congregate.

"These cameras do gait recognition" So everyone should learn to skip half the time. =D Or, do the Ministry of Silly Walks routine as a means of social protest. =D

"If over 75% percent of people in the Netherlands broke a law, the Netherlands had to get rid of the law" Huh, that's an interesting idea. How often, though? If everyone has jaywalked at some point in their lives, do you abolish crosswalks? How about stop signs?

"Show me even one climate prediction that has not been debunked within five years. We have to assume these people are making them in good faith" Except, you will have better luck telling a scientist that his grandchildren are u*ly, than you will telling him his computer model is wrong. Yes, they genuinely believe their models are correct, but as you point out they utterly ignore all objective proof otherwise.

"if you're the one claiming that there's an emergency that requires some radical assumption of government power..." ... whoever your opposition party is, must be the one to assume that power.
