Saying this is the first "car free neighborhood" is like saying America is the first place to be built with a grid.

    Where in the article does it say it's the first car-free neighborhood ever? It just says it's the first in America, it even has a nod to how European cities tend to be built around walking in contrast to American cities.

    I'm quoting the title. It's a subset of the sentence. I'm sure you're 100% accurate and logical with everything you say.

    "America's first car-free neighborhood" and "first car-free neighborhood," while both being strings present in the title, are not equivalent statements. I don't think it would be correct to omit "America's" in your comment.
