I dismissed that 2019 '15-minute city' clip as a doomer meme until I checked the source footage
When that Oxford clip about 15-minute cities started going around again last month, I rolled my eyes and figured it was chopped up to make some planner sound nuts. A friend kept bugging me, so I pulled the actual council meeting video from February 2023 and watched the whole 40-minute segment instead of the 30-second cut. The short version left out that the speaker was answering a question from a resident, and the bit about travel limits was about traffic trials, not some locked zone around your house. It took me about an hour with the search bar to find the full meeting minutes on the city's own site. I'm not saying the plan is great, but the clip was missing context in a way that changed the whole meaning. If you've got the original link for the version that spread on Facebook, please drop it, because I want to compare edits side by side.

Checked the full video myself and yeah, the cuts flip the meaning. Got a link to the Facebook version so we can put them side by side?
