“People can’t get to the grocery store,” states Yina Moore, former Mayor of Princeton Township, New Jersey. Speaking at the 2019 SmartCarDriving Summit, Moore emphasizes that better mobility options are needed to improve the accessibility of the community. It might be said that transportation is in her blood, as her grandfather started a livery service that served the Princeton Township some 100 years ago.
In the above interview, she talks about the relationship between housing and mobility and that access to good mobility options is what drives real estate value. She points out that autonomy has the potential to make real estate in the suburbs more valuable if it improves low-cost access to services. At the same time, it could complement walking and the more dense urbanization of suburbs.
