This place sounds like heaven and it’s literally just stuff Europe has been doing forever
I know someone who lives there and loves it, but they have had issues with petty crime. Also one developer having most of the ownership of your community is not great.
Also “America’s first car free neighborhood” is so goofy. We had neighborhoods before cars existed lmao
Arguably college campuses can be car free neighborhoods. The one I went to had dedicated “family” living arrangements, such as for a student with child, perhaps spouse or parent
Lots of neighborhoods used to be car free
I feel like north beach, SF could do well with permanently closing some streets
I think it’s maybe not obvious, but this actually helps people to buy fresh food regularly and reduces the need for shelf-stable foods, increasing health and quality of food.
And helps food waste! I realized if I buy ingredients on the same day I cook them a lot fewer things spoil in my fridge. But this is only viable if the store is right in my neighborhood.

I love it! I’d move there in a heartbeat!
Kirsten did a great video on this 2 years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf0L3blkNA4
cities are relaxing zoning laws to allow for denser housing, reducing parking mandates
Ugh, we need parking mandates.
Would be nice to see laws that make a mandatory maximum parking spots to something like 20-50% of the building’s human capacity
No need. Developers are very profit driven so are unlikely to pay for more parking spaces than necessary
Dunno. I think it’s important to have laws so luxury apartment buildings don’t give every apartment 1-2 car spots each.
Reads like sarcasm, hopefully I’m reading it correctly.
