- Interview with Ryan Johnson, Culdesac CEO.
Our behind-the-scenes look into Culdesac, a company that seeks to challenge the car-centric lifestyle in American cities by creating car-free neighborhoods.
These communities prioritize people's needs with walkable spaces, ample bike parking, shared outdoor areas, and convenient access to public transportation.
Our partner Kim-Mai Cutler and producer Candy Cheng traveled to Tempe, Arizona to check it out.
possibly the most exciting startup around.
Loved our visit (and riding ebikes!) with Ryan. So fun to watch it progress.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome work, Ryan. Very exciting.
Sidewalk Labs would have been the best thing to happen to Toronto. Good to see someone is bringing this neighborhood model to cities.

This is sooo exciting in so many ways! We need that in most American cities!
Didn't you go to college? Who wants to be a grown adult paying through the nose in rent and living like a college student?
Wow, the comments here are so negative. No one is forcing anyone to live there. It's for those who WANT to live car-free. There are thousands and thousands of developments where you can have your vehicle. There is precisely one of these types of development. If there is a demand for it, it will succeed. If it is a success, they will build more and more of these. Let the market decide. I wish them great success.
I was today years old when I found out a car free city called cul de sac existed. I am planning my visit right now!
I love this idea and would love it more if the residents could own the units. That way the people who live there could benefit from the wealth they are creating rather than exporting it to some capital group on wall street, where it wont do them any good. Americans will keep getting poorer if there are fewer and fewer pathways to property ownership.
They are working on that with subsequent neighborhoods, but that proved too complicated for their first neighborhood, which they needed to finish by a certain time.
Don't get me wrong, this is overall a great positive development compared to building car dependent communities. However, it saddens me how this is truly the most capitalistic way to go about building car free neighborhoods. Ultimately this is just a privately owned apartment community with some shops. It's still light-years away from a walkable European town with true character, people who live there for their entire lives, shop owners who live above their shops etc.
Reality is capitalism is one of the reasons why car dependent cities were built . So that economic and demand angle has to be there even if its not the best way out
Capitalism is part of the solution. In fact, the lifting of restrictive rules is what made this possible.
If this was allowed in more places, then we’ll see an explosion of these types of developments in the coming decades. Not exactly car free but a spectrum from car free to car light developments.
This is a good idea next to large shopping malls, college towns, hospitals, military bases, business parks, downtowns, etc.
But even that is formed via capitalism, in the sense that people own those dwellings. So it is important that Culdesac's small buildings can be sold to individual owners if need be in the future.
You will own nothing and be happy. Never owning a home and being a slave to the landlord lol.
Most city governments make walkable communities illegal. Capitalistic means are truly the only option in many parts of the US.
Why did you not show the actual town????

@@initializedcapital I completely understand why this video did not show the town but-as a supporter of your future success-you gotta shoot an outro telling viewers what to watch next if they want to learn more :)
Because it looks like a can of sardines! It’s terrible! The guy is just a paid propaganda pusher! Look how he articulates with his hands… People do that when they are not saying the truth!!!
Its so much easier to impose full control over people when you keep them isolated and dependent. -Socialism
Ryan ! You left mother trucker
"People are happier" & "..the majority of the US wants to live this way.." Complete arrogance and that endearing 'I know what you want better than you do' mentality.

Most people do. That's why rent is so expensive in such places. It's certainly nobody's business to ban this type of development, which is what most of the US has done.
