    @YoFrodo big promises. They’re only making our life a hell through such schemes. They’re literally making us prisoners inside our own houses by delivering everything at our doorstep. Work has become from home (if any), schools from home, shopping through apps (they deliver in 10 minutes). Maybe healthcare would become the same too.

      But you are simultaneously saying there is little work except remote work and also that delivery jobs are somehow preventing us from leaving our homes, which are not remote jobs at all.

      You asked what the ‘time city’ concept was. You have your answer. You do not seem to understand the goal of it though

      Businesses are forcing everyone back into the office. You can count yourself very lucky if you can work remote.

      For me, there’s 3 supermarkets within a 15-minute walk, my GP the same, hospital 20 minute walk. So yeah an ambulance would be here in minutes. I don’t feel like a prisoner and I’ve never had stuff delivered. That’s just wasteful and more expensive.

      There are apps already that supplies all your shopped articles at your doorstep.

      Make up your mind, bro.

      It’s not a “they” in this case, it’s an “us”. You have way more agency, in most cases, than you suggest.

      • most people work and have some choice in how and where, though your demographic may have obstacles
      • delivery is optional in most cases and bad labour practices and energy costly
      • your location and region is not universally representative
