I'm not railing against it, it's a decent idea especially with the rise of modern transportation modes such as electric scooters (I love these things in my town).
I'm merely pointing out that this seems to be the plan for Maui yet no one seems to want to admit it, I wonder why the dishonesty? I am also concerned that Maui was deliberately sabotaged & burned down such that this vision could be enacted.
They "don't want to admit it" because it likely isn't the current plan. The city is still in basic recovery mode. There's also a big contingent of conservatives who think 15 minutes cities are a way to lock you into city sectors with dangerous minorities where you aren't allowed to leave. It's really sad.
The idea this was intentional is really really really dumb. If the government wants to enact infrastructure projects they buy minority neighborhoods and tear them down and put a highway through them destroying the value of the houses that remain. We don't start wildfires to fuck people over. We just do it.
