0:00 [Music] all right I haven't seen this video so I thought it'd be cool if we all watch it together and judge for ourselves but apparently in Tempe Arizona they have unveiled the uh world's first um carless Community it's a city where everything 15 minutes away walking hey is that everyone's scared of like they're like 15minute cities or like you rent everything you own nothing and then they're this is like the beginning of how they're going to control us we'll see maybe they mention they constructed the city there are there places for cars to drive through no you can't oh okay see how this goes that's like Europe then that's kind of cool though this brand new Rental Community in Tempi has all the amenities fitness center dog park outdoor kitchens
0:52 but something's missing so there are no cars in this community at all isn't it great cuac is the First Community us designed and specifically for carfree living coer Ryan Johnson says the demand is strong every generation and including 92% of gen ZZ would like to pay more to live in a walkable neighborhood retail restaurants and to start nearly 200 Apartments all within steps of each other no cars means no parking spaces no garages because we don't have residential parking it opens us up to have 55% landscape space we get to add so much to the neighborhood like social spes around every corner the complex is strategically located right next to the area's light rail system all residents get a free pass the first 200 also get a free electric ebike and a partnership
1:43 with lft gets them discount rides I've been fine just going VIA Rail or just biking Juan Ramos among the first 100 to move in here grew up in Arizona but left because he didn't like the car dependent sprawl at 27 he just came back and says living carfree has opened his eyes frankly for most of the apartments I've lived in for years I've never even talked to my neighbors I know people like that's Pete over there that's Ben over there and I'm like that's the first time I've said that residents often gather near the retail stores which focus on small businesses Jada stratman is moving both her home sense business and herself in it's not as like affordable out here as it was a few years ago you know and having that opportunity to live and work where you are and just have it as one that's perfect so it's cheaper
2:35 sounds like to live in a place like this that's what it seems like so if they have a car where do they park it they just can't park it they just don't have it yeah they just I feel like it's like a New York like you know like you just walk around you can get around easily China's kind of like that you can get around easily without cars and stuff like that so it's it almost kind of just feels like a fancier like housing project you know like the projects how they're like they're huge like that but you got to park mad for far and then you could just walk I do like the idea of being able to just to walk to different restaurants or C I wish we had more places though that was like walkable and like the places that are is just full of homeless people yeah like walkable but safe yeah like why don't we have walkable cities and I think that's literally why there's a demand for this especially in a time where if you wanted anything outside of that Community you
3:25 could still just get it delivered to you or you could deliver yourself to it you know what I'm saying so it's like true it does I feel like it does kind of make sense especially if that just happens next to or around downtown or like you know major you know urban areas it's like it it couldn't make sense for a lot of people a lot of downtowns are walkable but no one wants to be there cuz they look like post-apocalyptic wastelands little scary yeah and the few places that are walkable around here whether you're like in like the Silver Lake area or the Pasadena area or you know ████ or like how how you like New York York you know what I mean like those places are dope and they feel dope if you feel like comfortable so it it would be sick to just have a ████ ton more of that yeah yeah I feel like in California you have like San Francisco you have like some parts of
4:15 downtown LA or if you do have a walkable place it's just Main Street of any City and that's it like like you have Colorado on P Pasadena and that's it but around it it's not walkable right that's the thing too is that everything's broken up so anywhere that's walkable in California or SoCal is just going to have really s█████ blocks and then something nice and then really dangerous stuff and then something nice like my school they have a lot of like foreigners that come out here and they hate how you have to you know Uber not cheap here so it's like they have to Uber everywhere just to get around you need a car and it's like one of the things they say they're like man I wish everything you didn't need to have a car just to get somewhere and you lose a big chunk of your day just kind of getting does this also mean cops have to be fit now CU they run yeah cuz if you're like oh ████ I'm going just run through this
5:05 neighborhood he's like God I got to get out of my ████ car and Chase it through cuz you can't drive you can't drive through there and it's probably windy too yeah don't want to try and Chase get caught chasing a parkour person oh my god dude not in that area imagine like this is imagine this works and then it picks up steam and then next time you know suddenly you have like 10 of the right next to each other now it just feels like a spot in like Asia yeah you know what I'm saying it's just like there's it's you just walk from block to block or like kind of unit to unit and you can make it halfway across the city on foot but there's everything you need everywhere this might be the new move man like this seems pretty promising like I could totally see myself living in a situation like this but doesn't this depend solely on the community itself like nothing would be worse than if you lived in
5:56 something like this and and the people were s█████ and I think if it's successful and it makes money I can see them doing more and expanding and I I always think it's always better to have more choices so people can choose to live how they want to live I think it's tight and especially the part like you get to know your neighbors like I feel like I like that part actually I you just you I disagree with that part actually I think you should agree with that I feel the fact that like you know yeah it's healthy and then like a lot of people just don't know their neighbors like for me in in my uh apartment complex I live in I know my neighbors and I think my neighbors are freaking amazing yeah and then what kind of neighbors do you have though I have uh so there's an the so it's like a town home area so the front person has um he
6:46 used to be a photographer so he's pretty cool um there's a lady that lives above us she takes care of like the whole Garden area that's outside and stuff like that so she's freaking amazing and then we had another new lady that just moved up so it's only like four places within there and all of them they're just really nice we all look after each other and things like that and then you know I get my some of my friends they don't even know their neighbors they're just like they don't know what to do and it's just hard for them to meet people out here it's just like I I feel like it'll make it a lot easier for sure that is pretty cool I guess it's kind of similar to where I live now like a brewery Brewery kind of feels like that but except everybody's weird you know what I mean it's like that's the thing like when you when you're at a normal place it's like there's a diversity and there's something interesting about it but I think where I live everybody's really
7:37 like keeping to themselves in a weird way what I like about um Asia and Europe and how it's built like you can go downstairs and right there there's like 7-Eleven a burger shop there's like a couple of steps and then like there's a lot of fun exploring like you're never bored and then you can walk like 20,000 steps and it doesn't feel like it M cuz like it's just you just keep there I think there's just a lot to see versus here you can walk for a minute and it feels like forever because it's boring it's true that that's good point actually I feel like to caveat off of that like when I was in China I would wake up at like 5 6: in the morning and I'd just go out and walk around outside and then I'd go take like the little bike and go driving around and it's just like there
8:27 was so many different things to see in such a small area just like seeing a new experience and like the ultimate combo is spaces like this but then functioning public transportation that are on time that's a superpower like that rail that's true even like you know even in in New York it's like or shy toown or something like you have a a subway system that for the most part works that people can trust yeah cuz that's what makes the carless Community work you know what I mean La is horrible dude you'll like ride one and a guy just busts out a crack pipe and starts going that's pretty bad I wish like public transportation La would like be dope you know what I'm saying the sad part is is that I like cars so much too that it's like if that's missing from my life I probably wouldn't have fun in this spot that's what I think it's cool cuz it's like you get choices yeah you
9:18 know like people can live where they feel like they want to live or whatever I think that's tip do they say that you can have a a car in that place cuz no parking spots in general looks like it's it's it's dubbed the carless community so it feels like you probably got to park at a different building if you have a car and then I mean if you can if if they have a parking structure for just cars to just stay that you can walk to that's on the edge of the city and then you can just go out and venture out I think that would be pretty dope then you live in the best of both World it kind of reminds me a little bit you know one Santa Fe that that complex that's in in the arts district is that like the white and red building yeah the white and red building yeah it was white and red it got repainted oh but they had so much retail space at to the bottom it almost felt like this but flattened out yeah it it reminds me a little bit of that but my favorite thing still is uh Canyon
10:08 Lake man that's to me that's I would rather live in Canyon Lake was cool is that the the private Lake in La this it's the biggest it's the biggest gated community in America oh where is that it's like oh that one it's by Lake Elenor so it's it's a giant it's like a big ass nice city that's around a like a wall where's Lake Elenor um like Inland a little bit is that swimmable the water yeah damn that's crazy but it's like a secret almost like people know don't really talk about it much or know about it they don't want nobody in yeah it's like one of the things but you can but the funny thing is their YouTube channel is like you could just watch it and then you can see everything that's going on in there cuz they have like an actual dedicated YouTube where they're like today in Canyon Lake we're going to be going canoeing at the thing and you're like that's their life or is this
10:58 fake
