Its Suburbs Without the Car





I read an article in the New York times today that has been plaguing my imagination all day.

In Vauban, Germany they are creating communities without cars. If a resident owns a car they have to park at the edge of the community in super expensive parking lots ($40,000 per space). 70% of Vauban residents do not own automobile.

This is my dream world… except that its in Germany. Not that I don’t like Germany, I just don’t speak German/ I think it’s really cold.
