No just Bikes has an episode about a car free neighborhood [1], in Canada.

Love the channel. The Toronto Islands seem like an attractive place to live. With a population of only ~700 and a (full) waiting list capped at 500 it's clearly in high demand, which makes it all the more strange to me that more developers aren't building places like these.

I mean, I can't be the only one who is willing to pay 2-3x more to live in a neighborhood with no cars.


Well in this case the no-car neighborhood's houses are 1/3 the price of normal houses due to a weird law. I wonder how much that contributes to the waitlist.


Because in most places in North America it would be illegal to build because of strict zoning laws https://piped.kavin.rocks/watch?v=ajSEIdjkU8E


Ah. I was searching for "Not Just Bikes", but you have a small typo, so I added my own comment.

Highly recommended channel!
