Thanks for sharing, kind stranger.

I live in a relatively (for the US) bike-friendly city (Tucson AZ). There's a lot of cycling infrastructure, but sometimes you have to ride on a 7-lane stroad with distracted/aggressive/inebriated drivers, many of them in vehicle types that are especially dangerous to get hit by. I'm envious of places that don't have the USA's car culture.

I'm curious how you'll find living in Netherlands as an American.

Thanks, I'm curious too. Incidentally it's not near Tucson but https://culdesac.com/ is in Tempe and looks really interesting for a car-free development.

Not sure I agree. Looks like upmarket rentals all owned by a single company. If everyone is a renter, it limits the amount of community that will develop. There's a light rail station but otherwise you're in lawless Phoenix traffic.

It looks like stick-built / Type V / combustible construction, and they're giving everyone an e-bike, which is mildly scary given the trouble NYC is having with structure fires started by bike and scooter batteries.

Maybe I'm being too harsh, and new housing without included parking is major progress in Arizona. Thanks for sharing in any case!

It ain't perfect but if I had to live in Arizona I'd at least take a look. Fair points though.
