If you're talking about how the $900 threshold was reclassified as a misdemeanor, which SF chose for awhile not to enforce because of police resourcing issues, that is an SF thing, not a progressive thing. NYC doesn't do that, and neither does Philadelphia.
NO WONDER Kari Lake said these stations have falling viewership. They cant really REPORT/INVESTIGATE. I am only seeing this vid as a link from Alex Jones website.

I wonder if the E vehicles are stored in a fireproof area. The thermal runaway that is responsible for 13 deaths and over 100 fires in NYC THIS YEAR means precautions must be taken.
Now do cars. Pretty sure NYC has way more deaths and fires for vehicles rolling around with a highly flammable, easily accessible, easily spill-able, liquid substance inside. LOL. Nothing is perfect, but at least with batteries there has to be some kind of physical trauma, or extreme heat to cause a fire…which to be fair Tempe has a lot of heat. I’d say gasoline vehicles are more likely to accidentally catch fire through a heat source, including the heat from its own engine.
It reduces your carbon footprint... but... that goes back up when the firetruck gets lost trying to find and access your 2nd floor apartment fire in the middle of the pedestrian spaced buildings.
They've actually said as much! I've saved a video where one of the "elites" explained that the wealthy will still be able to travel, while the rest of us with "lesser means" can use VR head sets ~ and he said this with a straight face! Check the UN's sustainability goals. England will have NO active airports after 2050, if things go according to plan . . .
It is. It is all about consumption and nothing about production. It can never make it "on their own". It is like a welfare that takes rich peoples money to live, and probably die there. Any "thinking mind" could not live there, unless they were forced to. It is a nice looking min security prison, I will admit,---for now. :)
A Getto by any other name. Just add some graffiti, and the picture is complete. I imagine the suicide rate in this sad horror show will be very high, but that is the plan after all.
First off I do. It actually keeps me cooler than walking as I spend less time outside and I can get to most of my destinations in the time it takes to cool a car down. Second, you’re assuming that they’d be using Uber about as often as if they were using a car in Gilbert. The people moving here would be able to get to most of their destinations by foot, bike, or light rail/bus. They’d only need Uber for the occasional trip where those options aren’t viable, which in my experience in north Tempe is not as often as you may think.
Oh yeah, like I haven't seen anyone that ride bikes in 115 degrees, who would ever do that amirite, lol. God, why urban ignants like yours comment exist?
@@fingearsring9833 Legit, we’re the one of the hottest cities in the world during summer, but like, you signed up for this by living here. It’s hardly an argument against transit-oriented development.
There is so much land outside of the development, not providing parking is totally unecessary. This is just a large apartment/condo complex with too many amenities and no parking. Your rent/HOA will mostly be paying for the amenities that you don't need.
How do these idiots get those groceries into the supermarket if there aren't any streets and therefore no way for the delivery trucks to reach the store? Give me a break.
Yeah let's go ebike & walk in 115 degrees. Idea good, location not so much. Price is ridiculous & that they have "mobility" partners shows not having a vehicle is almost impossible. What about visitors?
I commute year round, if you can’t deal with cycling in a little bit of heat you should be in Az. Stop hating on a good idea just because you too lazy to get off the couch.
@@catherinerenee2668 oh yes, i moved to Arizona knowing the weather but am too lazy to go outside so will instead hate on people who can get around without a car. Grow up.
Exactly. It's an apartment complex with a grocery store. Which is surprisingly rare, because you usually aren't allowed to build businesses near residential areas. People in these comments are upset over nothing.
Median rent in Tempe is $1452 for a 705 sq ft apartment so no that much different. Brand new builds probably much higher; I’d imagine Cul De Sac is less than comparable brand new apartment buildings due to not need massively expensive parking garages most new five-over-ones have

Why is this an illness? Have you ever been to Italy? Or any city in Europe built before the 19th century ? Living in a dense community and not having a car is quite common around the world. I think you need to get out more
being in arizona is almost impossible without a car, everything is way too spread out and its hot 9 months out of the year, i rarely if ever see anyone on the sidewalks unless its at stores or parks, at night typically
Than how did people do it 50 years ago before every individual had a car? Singe home suburbs are the wordt type of housing to built in a dessert. It makes you need a car indeed.
I agree with what you say, and I think that needs to change. However I support the inclusion of the car into this as well. Phoenix is way too spread out and everyone hates driving forever to get where they need to go, especially with how awful gas prices are here so I believe more compact living like this would be better.
Bet the prices in their grocery store and shops are much higher than outside the 15 minute city, but what choice do you have? Rent a car so you can shop elsewhere? And what do invited visitors do with their cars? This place is tomorrow's slum.
Who determines the price of food? Who determines electricity cost and usage ? I have to ride 15 min in the rain to get to work on my Ebike? Do plumbers get a car or do they carry pipes and fittings on their back? What about carpenters? Do they carry replacement doors on their E bikes with tools and compressors? Do we get a complementary mark of the beast with our lease? Let the billionairs move in first and show us how it's done. BTW I have a 1 acre vegetable garden and some cattle. Can I farm food in my 15 min hell? I will not eat bugs as long as I can fish ,hunt deer ,turkey.rabbit and ducks. You say the grocery store is downstairs? Is it free food? Because the one in my yard is. 1 bean seed can grow 6 jars of pole beans. Like magic! And 100% organic......I'm gonna pass on that deal TYVM.
@@490o You might want to take a closer look: A 15-minute city is a "smart city" in an urban environment with omnipresent surveillance and data harvesting technologies that will monitor and record even the most intimate, personal details of every individual inhabiting it.
It is a fantastic advertisement for a modern minimum security prison, and no court system needed to fill it. It does sound like a very nice prison, doesn't it? Can any of you think of catchy advertisement phrases for it? Mine is too crude: "Cull your sack free living"? You can do better than that.
Well these places are not for the important... People they will still live in there Martha's vineyard and other places along the coast. These are just for the people they want to put somewhere for now until they can do something with them.
Riding bikes to the grocery store every day in 115 degree heat should be a lot of fun, especially when you can only get one bag at a time. Hope that bike has a big basket if you need bags of pet food or bundles of toilet paper/paper towels. Should be very convenient if you have a sprained or broken ankle or any kind of mobility issues. Grandma's going to love her daily hikes. No parking should make it a joy to invite family or friends to visit. Wonder how you get any deliveries without driveways or parking. They look like prison buildings. Hope those esg points are worth the money they're flushing down that composting toilet. 🤣
@@666chinchilla I live rural in the northern half of the state so I haven't really seen drones in use, most can't fly at our altitude.

For a small family with pets we probably buy around 100lbs of groceries each week so not sure how viable drone delivery would be.

Most cities in Europe are like that. No need m for a car to get around and enjoy life.. Tg y save big and stay healthy for walking most places.. Majority of shopping needs are within walkabke distances inside the community.
Well, i live in a place where my groceries shop is like 5 min by foot, and downtown is like 10 min by bike and 15 min by public transport. It's fascinating to see this architecture being portrayed as an innovation :D
They fail to mention the innovation part. Research 15 minute city’s. Bill Gates, Soros, radical left future housing plans. Everything is within 15 minutes. Must have valid reason to leave your “city”. Must have federal vaccination card to exit. Not the future we want for America.
Most big cities already offer this. Walkable neighborhood, grocery store, nearby public transportation, etc. Problem is, cities are expensive and most people have a long commute for work so it ruins the whole vibe. I like the idea of the free electric bike and EV car rental options though.
So... 15 Minute Cities are no longer a conspiracy theory.

@@ishaqmo7200 Did they also think how far one needs to walk/wait to transportation (of any kind) in 118-122F. Those were temperatures in AZ few times I drove through. And yes, I know it is dry heat 😉
@@ishaqmo7200 Uh, no ~ Dense buildings only *increase* the level of heat in an already dense urban area
Wait till the summer heat hits, no one will be walking or riding bikes.
“Can you imagine living above your grocery store?” - as a Londoner this is such a strange sentence to hear. Americans finally waking up to how strange and alienating their car-centric towns are
Residents are going to save so much money when they no longer have to own cars.
I lived in London for a year as a Californian - I don’t think a Londoner should preach to others about alienation and isolation. London was the most emotionally cold and unwelcoming place I’ve ever lived, and I’ve lived abroad in France, Italy and Mexico.

@@SSGoatanks As long as you don't have friends and family in Surprise, Gilbert etc. Or a job that's walking distance. Keeping in mind public transportation in the Phoenix Metro is horrible.
I'd live in a houseboat and take a jet ski to Walmart for groceries if it kept me away from you my guy.
Sounds very progressive. Are they also adopting the no crime for $900 of retail theft policy like other progressive liberal cities?
If you're talking about how the $900 threshold was reclassified as a misdemeanor, which SF chose for awhile not to enforce because of police resourcing issues, that is an SF thing, not a progressive thing. NYC doesn't do that, and neither does Philadelphia.

Food truck park? They said no vehicles??? These people are nuts.
Anyone who has ever rented in a large complex knows there are endless rules and restrictions.
This may be suitable for a narrow segment of society.
Picking up crap your dog leaves on the lawn is much different than keeping you from having a car. Freedom of movement, the fight to travel unmolested.
@@therealcportugal Not to mention the right *not* to be surveilled!
I wonder if the E vehicles are stored in a fireproof area. The thermal runaway that is responsible for 13 deaths and over 100 fires in NYC THIS YEAR means precautions must be taken.
At least you don't have to worry about an e-bike flying off the road right into your living room.
Now do cars. Pretty sure NYC has way more deaths and fires for vehicles rolling around with a highly flammable, easily accessible, easily spill-able, liquid substance inside. LOL. Nothing is perfect, but at least with batteries there has to be some kind of physical trauma, or extreme heat to cause a fire…which to be fair Tempe has a lot of heat. I’d say gasoline vehicles are more likely to accidentally catch fire through a heat source, including the heat from its own engine.
that’s a legitimate concern
It reduces your carbon footprint... but... that goes back up when the firetruck gets lost trying to find and access your 2nd floor apartment fire in the middle of the pedestrian spaced buildings.

It looks like a brand new slum in the making.
It is. It is all about consumption and nothing about production. It can never make it "on their own". It is like a welfare that takes rich peoples money to live, and probably die there. Any "thinking mind" could not live there, unless they were forced to. It is a nice looking min security prison, I will admit,---for now. :)
Turn that high parking lot into Townhomes, cottage courts and 3 bedroom apartments.

It might be at Tempe Marketplace. But IDK for sure.

WHERE'S THE TRAIN STATION
There's a light rail station right in front.
Kinda like the ghettos in Germany...
Yup your UBER cost will be 10 k a year. AZ not a public transport friendly town. Also who rides a bike in 115 degrees.
Morons and people with dui's
First off I do. It actually keeps me cooler than walking as I spend less time outside and I can get to most of my destinations in the time it takes to cool a car down.
Second, you’re assuming that they’d be using Uber about as often as if they were using a car in Gilbert. The people moving here would be able to get to most of their destinations by foot, bike, or light rail/bus. They’d only need Uber for the occasional trip where those options aren’t viable, which in my experience in north Tempe is not as often as you may think.
Oh yeah, like I haven't seen anyone that ride bikes in 115 degrees, who would ever do that amirite, lol. God, why urban ignants like yours comment exist?
Just commute on a bike if you can’t handle a little heat in the summer move north somewhere
@@fingearsring9833 Legit, we’re the one of the hottest cities in the world during summer, but like, you signed up for this by living here. It’s hardly an argument against transit-oriented development.
It looks like a prison complex...probably because it is...
How are furniture, appliances, business deliveries, construction material delivered? Human chain? Also, don't be handicapped.
There is so much land outside of the development, not providing parking is totally unecessary. This is just a large apartment/condo complex with too many amenities and no parking. Your rent/HOA will mostly be paying for the amenities that you don't need.

the cost of rent is only slightly higher than the average rent in tempe AZ, while paying less for a car so yeah its cheaper
Thats the average cost of an apartment these days in general...
Thats pretty average for Tempe these days.
Median rent in Tempe is $1452 for a 705 sq ft apartment so no that much different. Brand new builds probably much higher; I’d imagine Cul De Sac is less than comparable brand new apartment buildings due to not need massively expensive parking garages most new five-over-ones have

Stop being a wimp, I commute in this heat all year round on a bike, if you can’t be in 110 degree weather for a commute you shouldn’t be in Arizona.
Than how did people do it 50 years ago before every individual had a car? Singe home suburbs are the wordt type of housing to built in a dessert. It makes you need a car indeed.
I agree with what you say, and I think that needs to change. However I support the inclusion of the car into this as well. Phoenix is way too spread out and everyone hates driving forever to get where they need to go, especially with how awful gas prices are here so I believe more compact living like this would be better.
it would be great if they built something like this but much bigger in a place with moderate weather.
It's called a "ghetto".

Na, not for me. No individuality, everything is just plain. Can't imagine how quick living there would become boring and expensive.

Riding bikes to the grocery store every day in 115 degree heat should be a lot of fun, especially when you can only get one bag at a time. Hope that bike has a big basket if you need bags of pet food or bundles of toilet paper/paper towels. Should be very convenient if you have a sprained or broken ankle or any kind of mobility issues. Grandma's going to love her daily hikes. No parking should make it a joy to invite family or friends to visit. Wonder how you get any deliveries without driveways or parking. They look like prison buildings. Hope those esg points are worth the money they're flushing down that composting toilet. 🤣
they will use drones to deliver in those hoods.
@@666chinchilla I live rural in the northern half of the state so I haven't really seen drones in use, most can't fly at our altitude. Do they have drones that can handle a large pack of paper towels or a large bag of dog food? What kind of volume and weight limit can they handle these days? For a small family with pets we probably buy around 100lbs of groceries each week so not sure how viable drone delivery would be.
