If you're anything like me, you're already tired of how the "15minute city" idea has been coopted into the culture wars. It's really this simple: all things being equal, having more stuff that you need and want on a daytoday basis within a reasonable walking distance is better than not having it. I suppose whatever argument there is is over what "all things being equal" consists of.

Today I take you on a tour of Valencia, Spain, and talk about how Valencians enjoy something more like a 5minute city, probably without thinking about it (or even considering it argumentworthy) at all. Hope you enjoy!
