Instead of restricting access, if there were more resources conveniently placed within neighborhoods, there would be a natural decrease in automated transport. Some people (retirees come to mind) might want to live in a fifteen minute city. It’s a little too ant farm for my preference, I like open space. But I also enjoy road trips for the pleasure of it. Of course, any restriction on people’s movement through climate fears, vaccine mandates, censorship, etc. is pure authoritative nonsense and must be squashed immediately.
Your final paragraph is the most important of all.
It's already possible for governments as well as individual spies / psychopaths to continually monitor anyone they choose to, for any reason. There's no such thing as privacy any longer except if people meet in remote places, in person, and never, ever use electronic equipment in their communications. Think about this in the context of 15-minute cities. If they were to be implemented / enforced upon us, that'd be the final nail in the coffin of any hope of humanity mobilizing any meaningful resistance to those who seek to control us entirely. It would be impossible for humanity to rebel, because the masses need to be united for revolution to be successful.
My fear is that the same lobotomized, Borg-like masses who willingly lined up to receive covid injections will gladly accept this idea of 15-minute cities. They appear to be perfectly happy to give up any semblance of autonomy or freedom. They are at least as dangerous as the psychopaths who seek to control the entire world. It seems to me they've already lost their humanity, so they don't see anything wrong with the plans to further enslave them.
"They may dress it up in fluffy terms like ‘protecting the environment’ but what it means is an ever more intrusive surveillance state. This is the goal of these psychopaths." - In the current phase, the useful idiot type enablers are still claiming that a surveillance state is not what this aims at. To not have to argue with them, it can be pointed out that a surveillance state is however what this factually results in.
I keep wondering how all the mediocre lower level enablers can honestly think that they of all people will be among the select few who get exempted from general subjugation. They really picture themselves as being part of the "travel cadre"/Reisekader.*)

Delusional.
