A big reason so many Americans miss college is because it's the only time they've ever lived in a walkable community. That doesn't have to be the case. At Culdesac, we're showing that building walkable neighborhoods is possible in the U.S. again.

In less than 100 years, we’ve come to accept (frequently empty) parking lots as ubiquitous. Here's how we can make better use of public and shared space- building neighborhoods instead of a sprawling parking lot. A thread 🧵

Why pavers? Pavers allow rain to soak back into the ground, cooling the area as the water evaporates. They prevent water pooling, helping keep the ground walkable all year round. Additionally, they reduce the urban heat island effect by reflecting heat instead of absorbing it.

Why is it illegal to build like this in most of the U.S.? Parking requirements and other zoning laws make it extremely difficult to build walkable housing. People-first communities like Culdesac should be the norm not the exception.

Here's why we don't have Palm Trees at Culdesac Tempe: 1) Palm trees use significant amounts of water – not ideal for Phoenix. 2) Palm trees do not provide the shade cover essential to reducing heat. Instead, we use desert-adapted plants like Palo Verde trees.
