Diverse zoning so you're walking around the corner for your cup of coffee rather than a mile away. 100%! Everything comes down to building right. This is medium-density, mixed-use urban development. That means single family homes, small apartments (no more than 3 stories), gyms, places of worship, restaurants, shops, and stores all mixed together. 15 minute walk to anything you would need day-to-day. Then you have your personal car parked on the street or behind your house in a small garage for anything you need to do that requires a large vehicle or spontaneity or any of the other benefits that owning a car brings. But we get to avoid almost all of the damage. "How do I do this with kids etc. etc." the same way people all over the world do it.
