Yea I'm just blocking this community. I'm tired of seeing this shit on my feed.

What has any of that got to do with the video?

I can work with that, thanks!

Thank you for being understanding.

Will you also go back to Reddit with me?

Sorry I have something coming up this weekend, maybe we can try for next week? :)

it was a bit hard for me to believe that you haven’t come across them.

I genuinely haven't, but I also haven't been following r/fckcars ever since the City Nerd incident. shudders

You self proclaime to be “based an train-pilled” but

Yes.

Please take your attitude back to rddit.

Japan?

reads bio

Japan.

EDIT: this was my experience in Japan as well: deny the plastic bag from the worker, to buy a plastic bag of 2 apples, individually wrapped in plastic, with the plastic foam sleeves to prevent bruising... and yet Japan still has less single-use plastic waste than America!

You have been writing comments on this thread for 5 hours. Have you gone outside today? Make sure to drink some water as well.

Nice choice on Denver! If you enjoy mountain biking, you need to check out the Colorado Trail, which is over 450 miles long!

Thank you for the comment and infographic.

I disagree. Lots of developed countries in Europe and Asia have desirable urban disign. In fact, I would argue that the USA is uniquely bad.

I totally, 100% agree with you here. I've seen that tax income vs tax burden graphic before as well and I think it is a great way to visualize the effectiveness of commercial space used in a city. I truly wish that suburbia would adopt better zoning laws...

EDIT (for the paragraph below): I just watched another video titled "Are Dutch Cities Really that Different? Debunking Cycling Myths" - which addresses exactly my angst! This is the quote: "If cycling advocates focus too much on the Netherlands... if it's always the example that gets brought up... regular people and cycling critics will understandably get a little suspicious, and assume that cycling is just a quirk of one unique country. People arguing for bike infrastructure need to be able to talk about other places: London, New York, Vancouver, Bogota, Tokyo, and so on..."

I wish I had specified that I think that the Netherlands is unique specifically about biking. They seem to be at the top of many of the cycling metrics, sometimes by a lot. For example, the Netherlands is the only place with more bikes than people! To me, it's no wonder, considering the bike culture predating WWII, and limited space, that such a small country would end up with some of the highest-quality, high-density bikable nieghborhoods on the planet. Hopefully my rant feels a bit more grounded in reality then...

NJB calls this “The Dumbest Excuse for Bad Cities”

Haven't seen this one yet!

POST-WATCH EDIT: That video was pretty darn sad. Hopefully the situation will improve within my lifetime :(

If you like spreadsheets presented as a youtube video: you should check out citynerd. Here’s a video where he lists cities with affordable, walkable neighborhoods: 10 Walkable US Cities That Won’t Bankrupt You. Spoiler: Pittsburgh wins.

I've seen it, and I have lived in one of the cities mentioned. It was a good time, I only wish it had more separated bike lanes!

I think that parking reforms is the best way to move away from car dependency, and these are being mandated in the state of Oregon, which has also had urban growth boundaries for a long time.

I have been trying to find a nice state in my spare time and so I've put them in a little text document. I will move Oregon up on the priority list, I hadn't heard about the urban growth boundaries. Thank you!!

Tbf I can’t think of any instance where Marques has click baited.
