"If you could design a community from scratch with the goal of maximizing the quality of life, what would it look like? How would it function?
The first thing you'd do is get rid of all the cars."
Ok, this article had me at "Hello." I've been wanting to dump my vehicle for a year, but even though I live in a high-traffic area of my little city, there aren't enough amenities within easy transit or walking distance to shed the car habit. This appeals to my utopian side. If we could generate enough solar and wind to keep the electricity going, I'd gladly telecommute.

This is how i always dreamed the world could be. I am disgusted by culture and our wasteful ways. The climate crisis seems inescapable even while recycling, riding my bike to work and going green/veggie. If this village ever becomes a reality I will be packing my bags faster than you could imagine.
