Superblocks have much potential. And in general there is so much potential to build cities for people instead of cars.

Check out what we’re doing at Culdesac if you want to see how we’re approaching the opportunity. We’re building the first car-free neighborhood built from scratch in the US.

We can and we are!

I’m the CEO of Culdesac. Our vision is to build the first car-free city in the US, starting with the first car-free neighborhood built from scratch in the US. That’s Culdesac Tempe, a 1000-resident neighborhood that is under construction now. Residents move in next year.

Phoenix doesn’t get much rain but it occurs in concentrated periods, so we have more experience with it than you might think.

In fact, part of why downtown Phoenix developed a few miles from the Salt River is because it had to avoid the seasonal flooding.

We have a plan for storm water management both during construction and long-term. We worked closely with the city on it.

Founder here. Great to see the excitement people have for Culdesac and for Culdesac Tempe.

tl;dr David Brooks is all about Arizona State University.

“Everything is on a mass scale. A.S.U.’s honors college alone is bigger than Stanford’s entire undergraduate enrollment. It graduates more Jews than Brandeis and more Muslims than Jews.”
