General Township Updates and Rumours

I think they only create community interaction more than other places is because there is no vehicle traffic. It’s not inherent to culs de sac. 

What is inherent to them is making it more convoluted to get around on foot or bike, and creating spaces that are clearly only for the people who live there, excluding anyone else from passing through. Not the greatest use of public space.

I grew up on one in a small town and all the charm of socializing and exploring as a kid came from the fact that it was a small town and there was no traffic - not because of the type of road I lived on.
