> Yes, polling indicates the majority would like to live in a 15 minute city, however that poll does not mention restricting vehicles.
So what? That's what cities do. They balance needs.
They weren't told that it would expand the quantity, scope or role vehicles either, so there's nothing deceptive here.
They're selling the vision, people like the vision, so they'll execute on it assuming conspiratorial nuts don't get in the way :)
The future doesn't need to involve having exactly the same role and scope for personal-use vehicles. Change is okay! We've way over-indexed towards the needs of cars and under-indexed on the needs of human beings. It's time to revisit that contract. And look, if people don't like it, the roadblocks can come down after we give it the ol' college try. Remember the status quo is the result of arbitrary decisions and compromise, it doesn't represent a local or global optima.

So I say bring on the roadblocks.
