What if we designed communities around people first and cars second? 🏡🌱

I had the opportunity to tour @live.indigo with developer Scott Snodgrass and @middlehousingdesignco Garland Harris Jr. and there were so many ideas worth paying attention to.

Front porches instead of streets dominated by driveways.
Walkability and shared spaces that encourage neighbors to actually know one another.

Different housing types and price points living within the same community.

And instead of a traditional resort-style pool, a working community farm that becomes part of everyday life. 🌱

As a developer, I’m always looking at communities through the lens of: What works? What can we do differently? And what ideas are worth bringing into the next generation of development?

Indigo gave me plenty to think about.

🎥 We captured the full conversation and tour in Episode 1.
