I'm undecided on this. On the one hand, the idea of living in a city where everything is within 15 minutes is great for many reasons. It incentivizes walking, which is healthy. It reduces the need for cars, which is good from a pollution standpoint, infrastructure standpoint, and personal finance standpoint. 15-minute cities also make much better use of land and space. They can do more things with less land. And land is inherently valuable due to its limited supply as well as growing population (assuming a society doesn't conquer more land).
But on the other hand, having a car also has its benefits. Many anti-car people really underestimate the value of having your own means of transportation, going to and fro on your own time, and the inherent privacy being in your own car provides. I love driving because I can listen to a podcast/music or making a call without someone breathing down my neck or hitting me with their bag as often happens on the train/bus.
I'm sure there's probably some middle ground to be found here.
