Episode Details

Culver City is considering a bold move to ban new drive-thrus, sparking a heated debate over walkability, air quality, and accessibility. Residents fear a proposed In-N-Out could harm pedestrian safety and worsen pollution, prompting the city council to temporarily halt new permits. While proponents argue drive-thrus are vital for convenience—especially for people with disabilities and families—opponents push for streets designed for people, not cars. Inspired by similar bans in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo, city staff are drafting the ordinance, which would spare existing drive-thrus but block new ones. This decision could reshape Culver City’s business landscape—and ignite a nationwide conversation: are we building for cars or for people?
