Things I get asked a lot: Why did you move to Las Vegas? Isn't it a typical suburban Sun Belt hellscape, except with enormous, garish casino resorts? And, most importantly: how can you call yourself an "urbanist" and live in a place like THAT???
Today's video answers all those questions, and then goes a lot deeper. CAN you live car-free in a Sun Belt city? Should you? Isn't it just a huge hassle not having a car in a place that was so clearly designed around the assumption that everyone would own one? What are the societal benefits of foregoing car ownership -- and the personal benefits?
Tune in, and all will be answered!
