Needs more green space (which I have to say about almost every urbanist project it seems) but otherwise very cool.
I really hope they can build more for these across the country. But having a big buildable lot right across the street from a transit line is kind of a specific situation.
Maybe, I think it's designed like that to maximize shade. Which is important in phoenix. I think it would be nice to have a lot more mesquite and palo verde trees but dumb people complain about them when they the flower because the make a tone of pollen. Also the mesquites make huge messes of tree sap and mesquite beans.
Gardens and vegetation are compatible with the general design I think. Lots of things will grow better in the shade in Phoenix anyway.
Bring on the mess. The world wasn’t meant to be clean.
Even just slightly more green would be nice. It might also a question of real estate costs in that area. And walking distance around the village. And climate. Really it's more like an old European city, not a village, but they probably needed a name to say it's different.
Cool.
Cooler than the city by 16° celsius!
😮 ! 😀

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.
Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
