    Would be nice, but sadly most real life examples of a walkable, human scale environment are either prohibitively expensive to live in, or inhabited by rich folks ☹️

    Given that this is being bankrolled by them, i’m curious to see what restrictions they’ll apply, if any.

    I wish a company would build and oversaturate the market with walkable, human scale areas, to force prices down across the board… but that’s beyond wishful thinking lol
