I think 15 minute cities are great if you have everything to back it up.

This is just a tautology

I think water is great if it has two hydrogens for each oxygen

Even if you have most things nearby for day-to-day life but still need to travel an hour for any of: school, work, daycare, groceries, or even common leisure or entertainment activities, "green spaces"... Then that ain't a 15 minute city.

Additionally, transit is absolutely included in 15 minute city concept - whether it be pedestrian, biking, bus, train, mixed-mode trips, cars*... It's a holistic concept so of course these are all under the umbrella.

* yes even cars can be included, but in order for the others to be successful they are general de-prioritized in this model.

Edit: I'll also add that I see "15-minute city" is an aspirational goal, and anything that moves us closer towards it tends to be good for the people that live there - and even if not fully achieved in a particular place, this type of hand-wringing about specific aspects in order to disregard the whole concept seems disingenuous at best.

But oxygen is what gives us life.

I'm going to have two hydrogen and two oxygen, thank you very much.
