Images Show Utopian City 'Telosa' Planned For US

One of America's top billionaires is backing the construction of a 15-minute city in the middle of the American West desert, called Telosa.

The city, which is the brainchild of former Walmart president Marc Lore, hopes to have five million residents by 2050, and would be built using sustainable, eco-friendly structures. While no set timeline for construction has been announced, the project has said that the first residents will be "ready to move in 2030."

Concept images of the city show futuristic cable-car systems, miles of greenhouses and solar panels, and the city's centrepiece skyscraper, the Equitism Tower. Cars that use traditional fossil fuels for power will be banned in the city.

"an environmentally conscious city" has always been laughable to me. It's always the folk huffing city smog, burning up the roads, fifteen devices plugged in, lights always on, trains all over the place, subs all over the place, vehicles bumper to bumper, who wag their collective fingers at Joe in the cornfield and Patty on the back porch about their trucks and dietary habits. Keep in mind that Joe and Patty have more green in their life in a square foot than slickers will see in two years in their entire metropolitan bubble.

And the article speaks about fairness. What in the world does the secular world know about what is fair and how it's justified? Oh, let's not forget that they'll use energy they pretend to hate to build their "utopia". I can't stand modern thinkers. They are so lazy. (n)
 
If they really want to do something for the "highest purpose," how about they:

Tear down the vacant, blighted, dangerous, abandoned buildings in NYC, on which no one is paying taxes (city owns a lot of them)
Clean up the toxins, contamination, and pollution in that area
Replace all the old crumbling, dangerous infrastructure in that area with their design
Build the city where those buildings used to be
Give all the homeless and migrants free housing there, and let them have their shared stake in the land, participatory government, and equitable, unlimited economic opportunity

Bet they really don't mean what they say when they say "inclusiveness." Bet the new city is for the elites with enough service workers, etc. to maintain and service the city for the elites. Bet everyone is vetted for net worth and credit, income, medical/mental health, disability, criminal background, drug and alcohol abuse, social credit score, voting record, religious beliefs, etc. Probably no firearms allowed and the police only have nerf batons. Christians and Jewish people need not apply.

I see no houses, only boxes :mad:
So no yards to plant a garden or kids to play and run around in :(
I don't remember any pets, either :(

8 Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!

You had me up until you suggested giving the homeless and migrants free housing. I do agree with tearing down the buildings that are abandoned and dangerous.
 
I really wonder if 15 minute cities can and will be built, launched, and supported. To me they are a dystopian nightmare in the making, but I suppose there are way too many people in need of it, unaware of dystopia or unbelieving it would happen, or just not considering anything other than party line politics and working orders that must be followed with no questions asked.

Or your Soylent Green for the masses, Lord get me out of here!
 
There's a small townlet here that could function as a 5 minute city. One side has an apartment building with retail on the bottom, another side has a real grocery store, with it's big, square public parking lot making up the town square in the middle, another layer of parking under the parking lot that I think is for residents. The side across from the grocery store has a Veterinarian and car repair place, and the side across from the apartment building is a wall separating the small development from a major road. There's a cell phone repair place, small dental office, and several other small businesses. The apartment building is about the right size to house the workers needed for the businesses and their families. 10-15minute walking distance to lots of retail, some fast food, a bank, and more services. There's a bus stop that serves the townlet. Too much vehicle traffic in and out, the two roads in and out are far too narrow, and not nearly enough parking.
