A former manager described Musk as a “pigeon CEO”: “He comes in, shits all over us, and then leaves.”

Well the next stage of birds in the manufacturing environment is to die in an inconvenient spot then get a plant wide meeting about keeping the doors closed.

What can you get to within a 15-minute walk of your house?

A recent YouGov survey asked Americans what they think they should be able to get to within a 15-minute walk of their house.

Of these choices, I can currently walk to all of them from my apartment, aside from a university (no biggie, I'm not currently studying, although there is a Tafe within walking distance), a hospital, and a sports arena.

How many can you get to with a 15 minute walk from your house?

Yeah I love universities but I don’t want to live close to one. Having lived in multiple university cities (even worse, each was obsessed with that school’s athletic teams for one sport), I think the university district is important and I don’t want to live in it. I should be able to get there without too much difficulty but yeah.

Bars should definitely be 15 minute walk. Anything to disincentivize driving there.

True, I have a local bar that I use as one of two primary third places. It’s a place I go to just hang out or attend groups. Is it good that our main third place sells an addictive substance? Not really, but it’s fun and it is a source of community and culture.

Third places are a fundamental part of society and if 15 minute cities don’t have a variety easily accessible to you then it’s going to make the place worse to live. That means everything from religious centers to community centers to bars.
