Interview with Ryan Johnson, Culdesac CEO.
Our behind-the-scenes look into Culdesac, a company that seeks to challenge the car-centric lifestyle in American cities by creating car-free neighborhoods.
These communities prioritize people's needs with walkable spaces, ample bike parking, shared outdoor areas, and convenient access to public transportation.
Our partner Kim-Mai Cutler and producer Candy Cheng traveled to Tempe, Arizona to check it out.

possibly the most exciting startup around.

Sidewalk Labs would have been the best thing to happen to Toronto. Good to see someone is bringing this neighborhood model to cities.

I was today years old when I found out a car free city called cul de sac existed. I am planning my visit right now!

This is sooo exciting in so many ways! We need that in most American cities!

Didn't you go to college? Who wants to be a grown adult paying through the nose in rent and living like a college student?

Because it looks like a can of sardines! It’s terrible! The guy is just a paid propaganda pusher! Look how he articulates with his hands… People do that when they are not saying the truth!!!

I love this idea and would love it more if the residents could own the units. That way the people who live there could benefit from the wealth they are creating rather than exporting it to some capital group on wall street, where it wont do them any good. Americans will keep getting poorer if there are fewer and fewer pathways to property ownership.

Don't get me wrong, this is overall a great positive development compared to building car dependent communities. However, it saddens me how this is truly the most capitalistic way to go about building car free neighborhoods. Ultimately this is just a privately owned apartment community with some shops. It's still light-years away from a walkable European town with true character, people who live there for their entire lives, shop owners who live above their shops etc.

Reality is capitalism is one of the reasons why car dependent cities were built . So that economic and demand angle has to be there even if its not the best way out

Capitalism is part of the solution. In fact, the lifting of restrictive rules is what made this possible. If this was allowed in more places, then we’ll see an explosion of these types of developments in the coming decades. Not exactly car free but a spectrum from car free to car light developments. This is a good idea next to large shopping malls, college towns, hospitals, military bases, business parks, downtowns, etc.

But even that is formed via capitalism, in the sense that people own those dwellings. So it is important that Culdesac's small buildings can be sold to individual owners if need be in the future.

You will own nothing and be happy. Never owning a home and being a slave to the landlord lol.

Most city governments make walkable communities illegal. Capitalistic means are truly the only option in many parts of the US.

Most people do. That's why rent is so expensive in such places. It's certainly nobody's business to ban this type of development, which is what most of the US has done.
