I don’t know what a 15 minute community is, but it sounds really nice. It takes me at least 15 min to go anywhere other than the grocery store.

I think that's what it means. You are withing a 15 min walk of everything you need, from groceries to a barber, to a park.

It’s pretty damn awesome. My neighborhood is a 15 minute community. I can easily walk to a couple of grocery stores, a library, three parks, a couple of haircut places, several bars and restaurants, and some general stores.

I can go weeks without needing to drive.

That was also originally the ideal of the American Mall. It was pioneered by some folks who thought Malls were an ideal utopia-like system.

Then capitalism turned them into dystopias instead. They were turned into tax havens for millionaires and billionaires to hide their money in.
