Complete communities

Why?

As we create homes for everyone, we cannot scale our vehicular infrastructure at the same rate as our housing. Therefore, we must enable people to meet more of their routine needs without needing to drive. Complete communities will:

  • improve health & longevity by promoting exercise & social connections.

  • support local businesses.

  • enable children, seniors, and people of all abilities to live more independently.

  • save you money by reducing your need for big homes, more stuff, and driving.

  • save you time by putting what you need close by.

How?

Change regulations to focus most new housing within walking distance of amenities that meet more routine needs, including:

  • food: groceries, restaurants, bakeries, meal co-ops, food trucks

  • recreation: parks, gyms, pools, playfields, playgrounds, sport courts, open space

  • socialization: pubs, cafes, churches, dog parks, picnic shelters

  • creation: maker spaces, rehearsal spaces, tool sheds, brew co-ops

  • education: schools, libraries, study centers

  • care: child care, health care, senior care, pet care, salons
