       I arrived at Culdesac on a Tuesday afternoon, after hailing a ride from Lyft at the Phoenix airport. I soon learned that Lyft rides are 15 percent off for all residents. A nice perk and a frank admission, I thought: sometimes a car really is the best way to get from A to B. (It’s also worth noting that John Zimmer, a Lyft cofounder, sits on Culdesac’s board of directors.)uh huh

       Apartments are organized into collections of two- and three-story buildings opening onto courtyards equipped with various amenities and design features: fountains, park benches, grills, bicycle parking, and bike pumps.

       A prescient statement, I thought some months later, when I learned that elements of the Culdesac I saw were no longer in place. In February, Street Corner had moved out and was replaced by a Korean grocer. When I asked CEO Vikram Dhillon why, he said they’d “simply decided to part ways.”Korean grocers, the horror
