Why is this something people would even be against? It seems like a pretty decent thing to shoot for.

My only complaint about the 15-minute city: what happens if you don’t have a car (everything is close!) and you lose or change jobs. Not everyone can get a job 15 mins from their house (especially in the GTA where 1 to 2 hour commutes (each way) aren’t unusual.
My answer: suck it up and make a decision. If everything but your job is 15 mins away from your house, you’re in a great spot. Or move. It is still a better goal/situation than job an hour a way, grocery 30 mins in other direction, etc.
