- capableweb 5y agoA cul-de-sac is a dead end for cars. Maybe these cities focus more on pedestrians than cars?

- capableweb 5y agoNever heard of that particular "neighborhood" and to be honest, the website kind of looks like a scam. I was just musing about how the name could make sense for the authors.
