Gaming art boundaries



Here is a promo space for an upcoming game. It probably full of violence and flashbang but this is the part I like best, spaces.

Can you imagine being able to walk around the farm, find a stump, a bench, or lay a blanket and then read a book?

Car Free Village in Germany (and Hayward?)


The NYT has an article about a housing development in Germany where they seriously restrict cars. To me this sounds almost idyllic, it'd be quieter, smog and designed to be more bicycle friendly.

Europe Imagines Its Suburbs With The Car

Judging by the article there is a similar type of community being planned (pending funds and further planning) in Hayward called Quarry Village.

Link.



I think it sounds pretty interesting. They have a starting price of $250,000 for a studio.
