One thing that always strikes me is how much focus there is on crime and personal safety for obvious reasons, yet Americans just seem to accept that over 40,000 people die in traffic accidents every year and never really talk about trying to bring that number down

“Building walkable neighborhoods now is the best thing we can do—for the climate, for health and happiness, for lowering the cost of living and the cost of government." @culdesac @dwell

The movement to build better places is strongest when we celebrate one another. In the quest to transform the built environment, celebration is fuel.

After Tesla's Model Y and 3, the third best-selling electric vehicle in the United States is... This e-bike? electrek.co/2024/06/05/after… Lectric's $999 XP 3.0 seems to have handily beat the next best selling electric car (either Ford's Mach-E this year or Chevy's Bolt last year).

$999 Lectric XP and $799 Lectric XP Lite are the Costco hot dogs of the ebike industry

Today Lectric released the third bike that they showed at Culdesac in March. Once again they release a sequel to a bike that is substantially improved, yet somehow at the same price. And wow to getting a Gates Carbon Belt Drive for only $100 more.

New mural for @culdesac in Tempe. The bear on the left is an eBike Bear. Culdesac is a car-free community. Commuting sucks. Driving sucks. Being car-free in SF is relatively easy, but it is a bold vision in Arizona. I applaud them for making it possible.

Ask us Anything! (submit questions below) This Saturday we will be packing this table with a bunch of your fave FIRE podcasters plus @culdesac CEO Ryan Johnson to quiz him on why he started this $200M experimental car-free neighborhood. Featuring @AffordAnything @retirein1500 @CoachChadCarson @jdroth @MileHighFIClub and me too if we can find enough microphones. Final product will come out on the Mile High Fi youtube channel and maybe other places youtube.com/@MileHighFIPodca…

I am profoundly honored to be an investor in @culdesac, a company that isn't just shaping the skyline but also nurturing the vibrant tapestry of Arizona's incredible community. In just a few short years, Culdesac has made remarkable strides, and I am thrilled to contribute to its journey in making not only Arizona but the whole world “Culdesac-ready.”

🚆 Hop on board the @ValleyMetro light rail system with @comfortpaul as he interviews CEO Jessica Mefford-Miller. Can you guess how many houses one LRT train could cool? Plus take a tour of @culdesac's planned car-free community. Tune in! buff.ly/3GklGBo

Last week I got the chance to visit the first car-free neighborhood built from scratch in modern day America. Come with me as I explore @culdesac — a 17-acre oasis of walkable living in the otherwise sprawling, car-dependent metropolis of Phoenix. 🧵

Five years ago, @culdesac faced skepticism about building a community without parking. Now their car-free project is thriving with residents and local businesses opening on-site. Developers nationwide are looking at @culdesac’s first project in Tempe, Arizona as an example of what the future of walkable neighborhoods could look like. They aim to build larger, meeting the growing demand for this lifestyle across the US. Here's CEO @ryanmjohnson:

🎬@culdesac CEO @ryanmjohnson sat down with our partner @kimmaicutler to talk about his company's first car-free community in Tempe, Arizona, chosen because of its dynamic growth and accessibility from the light rail.
