This is genuinely in bad faith. As far as I can tell, the "15 minute cities" are not some renaissance in urban development with dense housing and mixed-purpose residential and commercial spaces. It's just slapping a steep fine on anybody who drives out of the neighborhood without bothering to check if they actually have access to an Aldi's within their zone, much less where they might be employed. (Oh, don't want to pay 38 pounds every day as a commute toll? Quit your office job and work at the corner store. We did it, we saved the environment!)
