My evening reading is exciting af, y'all. No shade to people, but this is the most autistic thing I've ever read in my life.

Take this part, for example, where it explains that people who aren't home a lot should live on high floors in high rises with views of nature and take weekend trips to "temporary hotel-type residences" where they can go outside.

The part about how education should be organized, which doesn't seem to have much to do with the ideal city at all and that features endless calculations about how many kids go where, seems to mirror some aspects of Community Schools. Parents are definitely unimportant.

Most of the book is bullshit, so I don't have more now. I read half of this shitshow tonight.

I take it back. In addition to the other parts that don't seem to have anything to do with city organization, there's a lot of giving away what Communism is really about: minimizing work, even if that means freezing or reducing the standard of living. Need less, work less.

There's also a tip of the hand about the weird religion of Communism. It is "a work of conscious creation based on theory."

This looks wholesome and not at all autistic af.

Community Schools definitely make an appearance. @kellyske

@kellyske After preschool, parents need only be burdened by seeing their kids a few times a week and on holidays. Happy Trans Remembrance Day!

@kellyske Starting to look a lot like 15-minute cities. Communal apartments attached to elementary schools that provide lots of services including medical, with up to 225 sq. ft. per person, and cafeterias built into the apartments.
