Culdesac seems like just an apartment complex. Of course i'm happy too being able to walk from my bedroom to the kitchen instead of taking the car.
What happens when someone needs to go get groceries at a walmart? Or go to a la fitness? (i'm using brand names on purpose instead of grocery or gym since a "local bodega" that could be able to fit in the complex would unlikely have what i need). Merely having a checkbox saying that thing exists within the 15 min radius isn't enough.
tbh i just don't see high quality of life coupled with car-free happening in the USA due to how big it is.
- bombcar 3y agoHigh QoL car-free or car-reduced is perfectly possible in the USA, but it usually involves living in a more semi-rural area (a small town of 8-15k) - because by definition those are small enough to walk across.
- Racing0461 3y agoYeah its possible but you'll have to give up freedom. We already have "15 min cities", it's called a military base. Everything is supplied to you but you don't really have any choice. I wouldn't call those places walkable. 15 mins is 1.5 mile radius.
- runnr_az 3y agoWorth noting - we just survived the hottest summer on record in PHX. Even by our standards, insanely brutal. No fun waiting for the bus in 115
