You may see some that are controversial as well. This is part of the urban analytics. That said, I hope no one gets offended or upset by anything we may encounter.
2 Search Reddit threads
The keyword of my choice is walkable and the first task
is to find threads containing this keyword.

## Walkable Neighborhoods? Hello all,\nI am looking to move and Wilmington is on my list of locations that I may want to land. My one \034must\035 is that I have to live in a walkable area. I like to walk to a local pub, or restaurant, shops, ect. \nAre there any neighborhoods like that, other than downtown and the beach towns? \nThank you for any suggestions!
## I'm gonna throw some walkable cities in your eye
## State of walkability of different suburbs of Mumbai.
## Does a dense, walkable city exist that is both affordable and has good weather? It seems like every walkable metro either has an affordability problem or is well known for its cold weather.
## New walkable redevelopment announced, 3600 homes w/ commercial & open space replacing Metrocenter Mall **Edit: 2600 multifamily homes actually! Typo in the title!**\n\nCheck out the press release [here](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230123005749/en/). What are your thoughts? Though it won't necessarily be the cheapest apartment homes, more housing supply helps to drive down the price of housing!\n\n&#x200B;\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/prvf8bq8z0ea1.png?width=1832&format=png&auto=webp&s=f9f6ceec88d902544160b3938119b8782e459724\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/0lgkz8q8z0ea1.png?width=1824&format=png&auto=webp&s=44f12e0c5151c43a3b5559c7bc6e5418284e6b14
## Most walkable residential area of SA? I\031m looking for opinions on what is the neighborhood(s) in our city that have the greatest walkability? I\031m referring to the context of residential areas where you can walk out of your house/townhome and actually walk to a grocery store, park, or restaurant. Most of the new developments in the city are in what used to be open fields 5-10 years ago, and you\031re basically on isolated from the world if you don\031t own a car in these areas. \n\nAs I build equity in my home in the suburbs and want to stay in San Antonio in the coming years, where can I find this type of neighborhood?

also.

## 1 I think, in these CityNerd-based posts, that, maybe, we should, as best we can, try to write in, or, in a fashion similar to, his speaking cadence.
## 2 Just imagine you're Marvin the Paranoid Android with a valley girl accent and it should come pretty easily.
## 3 That's actually a fair point. He's not really breaking that kind of stuff down from his point of view. It's not his gym. That's why I appreciate both types of content.
## 4 Regarding the title: Vat.
## 5 What\031s up with all the city need stuff lately?
## 6 The mods are forcing every post to be about him because they\031re salty about the third party app changes
## 7 And what is that accomplishing?
## 8 Sweet fuck all other than skewering their own sub.
## 9 Keep in mind that NJB has a six-figure income.
## 10 NJB is a Canadian living in Nederland.
## 11 Even better, if cities are walkable those people that don't want to sit in a car will no longer use their car, leaving more space for the ones that want
## 12 This.\n\nIdk why car nuts are not promoting public transit and walkability. Literally means less traffic
## 13 Exactly, less traffic, better roads, less potholes, healthier population, less wait times at hospitals and most importantly (/s) more space for you to drive your shitty big ass truck.
## 14 Even the most famous car hating city, Amsterdam, still let's residents own cars.
## 15 And also has some of the best car infrastructure in [the world.](https://www.theglobaleconomy.com/rankings/roads_quality/)
## 16 Go figure if you have less of something it\031s cheaper to make it very good
## 17 Sure, but wealth and population density helps too.
## 18 Yeah but I think people always exaggerate that in the Netherlands. If you compare the country to comparable size and population US metro areas you start to see more missed opportunities over here.
## 19 You can discourage car usage by reducing parking slots, making it legal to drive a car, but extremely uncomfortable.
## 20 So what it's like using every other mode of transportation in the US rn
## 21 That's the thing. I live in Europe.
## 22 Also what it\031s ALREADY like for car use in most places. The easier car use is, the worse the amenities get and the fewer you can use. Somewhat counterintuitively.
## 23 Walkable literally means you can walk somewhere, not that you have to walk somewhere. This word was chosen, because it describes exactly what is meant. \n\nIt is not about a failure to understand. It is a refusal to understand. It is a rejection of change. It has nothing to do with the specific policy proposal. It is irrational rejection. \n\nThe only thing that works with people like this is force them to experience it, because they will never accept it voluntarily. And then within a year, they will claim it was their idea all along.
## 24 a few blocks of "main" street in the town I live in were closed to motorized vehicles a few years ago (covid) and an overwhelming majority of town residents wants to keep it open to pedestrians permantly. And it's not a sample size=1, the concept is popular once people experience it/get used to it. \n\n\nthere's always going to be people not liking it, but we can't let them keep our towns hostage
## 25 This comment says it succinctly and perfectly...
## 26 Look at The Netherlands. People here look at the country because it's bicycle and pedestrian friendly with pretty good public transport but they forget that it also has some of the best car infrastructure in the world.
## 27 [deleted]
## 28 I think we could get to that point eventually&once the majority of the population actually prefers walking or biking, but until then&when 98% of people own a car, screaming at them that \034cars are the devil\035 is not going to help the movement.
## 29 [deleted]
## 30 I don\031t think we\031d be liars. People are allowed to change their views. If the majority of people finally realize the ideal end goal is to ban cars, nobody would look at the group that advocated for fewer cars and say they are liars.\n\nI think the best way to change minds is to say we want options, not outright banning the thing that all Americans currently view as the ultimate freedom. Then, once we get to that point other people will probably start advocating for more pedestrian malls, then carless town squares, then entire zones, etc.
## 31 Buy them, yes. Own them, yes. Use them, yes, but only outside the city.
## 32 Yes this. No they can't use, or park, them in (certain areas of) the city.\n\nThere are highways for them to drive up and down if that's their idea of a leisure activity.
## 33 I don't think it makes sense to ban cars from cities entirely, but if you improve alternative forms of transportation by improving bike infrastructure and public transit, pedestrianising the parts of the city that draw in people, install traffic-calming measures and so on, the amount of car traffic in the city will decrease significantly all by itself.
## 34 Public transit in my city is absolutely fantastic and cheap, and yet people are still being carbrains and driving around from one district to another, just because they can. The city is much worse off for it. Bans need to happen at some point.
## 35 We'll still subsidize the roads for them tho
## 36 No. \nCars in cities need to be limited, at least to a degree.In this quite US centric sub I often read about "if there is reliable public transport, then most people will use it" that is kind of wishful thinking and it will not happen.\n\nMost european capital cities have reliable public transportation, \nbut are still car-centered af. \nEven if you have one of the worlds best public transport systems with a cheap yearly pass (e.g. Vienna), there are so many people that will drive anyway.\n\nEven if it is slower, expensive and inconvenient. \nPeople love to drive their 2 ton shitboxes, even if it doesn't make any sense to a sane person. It has to be limited with a city tax, prohobitively expensive parking etc.
## 37 Hahahaha.\n\nNo.\n\nFuck off with a car from my town. Cars are not welcome. My town is actively reducing the amount of parking slots present, because people are too egocentric to use public transport by themselves. My town is perfectly accessible with public transport, but egocentric people will always use their car, unless you make it really uncomfortable for them.
## 38 yep , as long as suburbanites have the easy selfish way of vroom vroom without effort they will take it
## 39 where are you from? I want to live there!!
## 40 Germany.
## 41 Just look at Amsterdam. Unlike most European cities, you CAN drive into every part of the city!
## 42 For those living in sprawling car-centric places, keep your car but commit to using it less. Get a bike including a utilitarian hybrid with a rack. Demand better bike infrastructure. Your city council person should know you by name. The urban utopians who live in dense cities won\031t demand these things for you as they don\031t live where you do, thus you have to. A small measure of success is you on you bike, on your local footpaths finding ways to get around without the car, demanding better infrastructure, public transport. If enough people do that, it will make a difference. May you have a nice thin layer of dust on your less often used car. It will be nice having the car when you really need it, like on your road-trip out of town.
## 43 While my initial reaction is negative, I agree. I like to think of Notjustbike\031s video about how driving in the Netherlands is actually much better as a result of providing quality alternatives to driving which in turn enhances the experience of using a car. We need to frame it as a win-win for both sides of the debate - as it actually is!
## 44 there is no life where the car is allowed so no cars in cities is the goal
## 45 Waste of time. Those that are staunchly opposed to transit and biking will always be opposed to them. Even cities with amazing transit and bike paths (Amsterdam, etc) have a significant number of people that refuse all other forms of transport. \n\nA better use of effort is to convince the majority that want a change. There is a huge demand for transit and walkable spaces that isn't met now, especially in car hells like the US.
## 46 Fuck\n\n\n\n\n\nCars
## 47 The goal is that only an idiot would drive as the alternatives are just so much better.
## 48 I don't know that I agree with this because there are so many people who, even when they can use other methods, they choose not to. Every car driver wants other drivers out of their cars, but very few of them seem willing to take the plunge. They have to be nudged into it with prohibitively expensive parking, congestion pricing, removal of parking spots, and restrictions on where they can drive.
## 49 I actually might be buying a smaller truck or van soon, after 5 years of not driving. The reason to only use for long distance travel(where trains and busses dont go) and possibly for a side buisness, emergenies, etc. Besides that I will walk, bus it, or cycle it. I hate city driving and I think its pointless, also I hate how much money it costs, so hopefully my plan with pay by milage insurance works out.
## 50 \034I\031m all for walkability/reducing car dependency/etc., but won\031t someone think of the *drivers*?\035\n\nHalf the posts in this sub. It\031s our own \034drivers\031 lives matter.\035
## 51 We all want walkable cities here, but abolishing all cars (at least in North America where lots of users are based) is not immediately realistic. Trains/trams can take decades to build, and most of our environment is too sprawled out to walk or bike. For now, cars are still an unfortunate part of our transit. We still need to drive until better transit is built. Hating on those stuck in the sprawl won\031t help our cause any more.
## 52 Drivers\031 lives matter!
## 53 No fuck those people, they don\031t have the right to drive over every inch of the planet while pumping out cancer gas
## 54 It is also often less convenient than walking.
## 55 Instead of car-free. We need a word that is catchy like autoluw
## 56 Let them in, but make it miserable. Make it harder to drive then to just train or walk. I refuse to cede any space for car users, there is plenty of exurban sprawl for you to enjoy :)
## 57 Or live in the country. Cities are too wasteful on resources.
## 58 Okay but the cost will be 100% in the car owner instead of mostly subsidized and those drivers MUST be accepting of that FACT!
## 59 This is a myth. If you reduce subsidies on cars, whether that be through spending, zoning, or something else, and instead subsidize public transport you will make it more expensive to keep a car. While legally you may say people can still buy and keep cars, practically many will be priced out. It\031s like saying you can keep and buy a horse. You definitely can, even in cities, but it will be prohibitively expensive and impractical for most people even if they want to.\n\nStop lying to people.
## 60 That's the way *it is now*. It is prohibitively expensive to own, maintain and use a car, no matter where you are.\n\nThe primary difference is that it's necessary.
## 61 Capitol buildings are problematic as they are designed and landscaped for parades and ceremonies which may happen once a year. Having a pedestrian street which has a through fare for dignitaries and parade traffic only would be more interesting and create a great culture. Imagine foodtrucks for all the people working inside the offices.
## 62 there is clearly a lot of space available for improvement of urbanistic design and walkability
## 63 Why don't American cities organize a contest for redesigning the urban spaces for better urbanism and walkability? There is so much potential if cars entitlement on that space was to be taken aside!\n\nI mean, in my hometown Timisoara, Romania they held some contests for improved urbanism and better walkability from what is just parking and road sprawl on relatively narrow streets. And yes, there is still a long way to go from sketches to reality! \n\n&#x200B;\n\n&#x200B;\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/py0yl6ofj91c1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=142a8f4f3c0341c5f314d41d02077c1ec8988e90

## 68 Still better than cars. \n\nMinus having to clean up after it.
## 69 Won't your crotch get sanded down
## 70 There should be a word to describe the feeling of visiting a more people friendly country and then coming back home to the US car hellscape again. \n\nOh wait there is a word for that it's depression
## 71 Also [reverse culture shock](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_shock#Reverse_culture_shock)
## 72 And yet, it is still a car-based society! Shows how far we have to go.
## 73 Huh?
## 74 When you would use actual words to decribe what you are curious or in doubt about, it would be SO MUCH easier to give a meaningful response. By now, you are just like a toddler making a noise.
## 75 [deleted]
## 76 It felt cheap compared to ticket prices in the US, but I can see how they could be pricey in the long term. ~¬40 for unlimited public transportation for a week isn't bad though.
## 77 It's not uncommon for enthusiasts in Japan to [rent a storage unit for their hobby car](https://i.imgur.com/Ux83cAj.png), and get by with transit in daily life.
## 78 Yeah I'm jealous of my colleagues who live in the city and don't own a car. Higher salary, lower expenses... Ah well, you can't have it all.
## 79 Loved studying there, a very nice city with great beer :)
## 80 Also how bike-able it is!
## 81 From my experience: \n\nMost of the affluent areas here are ex-urbs or former ex-urbs that got enveloped by sprawl. There are notable exceptions, but this seems to be the norm here. Truly walkable areas are hard to find. And when you do, they are either really expensive or have a wide assortment of liquor and pawn shops. \n\nSure, most of the housing developments are "walkable", but they don't connect to anything. They're a "cell", and that cell doesn't really connect to another "cell". Usually if you see someone walking it's for "health", and only around their own neighborhood. Cycling even less so.\n\nIt's not a stretch of the imagination that walkable, well connected, and stocked neighborhoods tend to be more expensive because those areas attract a lot of people and housing that does exist goes up in cost. \n\nOur city's downtown has changed a lot over the last 10 years since the city decided to focus on redeveloping downtown and brought in the light rail. People that used to complain about empty stores and crime ridden housing are now complaining about the higher costs of retail space rent and higher housing costs. It's a problem for sure, but a good one to have since it shows there's an interest in this area "no one likes" 10 years ago. Now, some of those older houses in more compact neighborhoods are selling for more per square foot than the shiny new houses "in a better neighborhood", which indicates to me where the demand is starting to go. And I've been looking for a '15 minute' area for awhile. Maybe my criteria is too restrictive in my case.\n\nIt still has plenty of issues (food deserts being one), but it is slowly getting better.
## 82 I don\031t have numbers to back this up but I\031d imagine many of them are expensive. I don\031t think they would be the most affluent, you can\031t build a bunch of mansions or manor houses in a walkable neighborhood. But because walkable neighborhoods are illegal to build in so many places the are scarce. But people like to live there. Low supply high demand. Thus an expensive neighborhood.
## 83 In the article the neighbourhood example they use the median price is $1M, so probably upper-middle class. True that really rich folks would want both privacy and space.
## 84 There is a concept called "Virtue Hoarding." It's where the professional managerial class uses it's position to hoard all the socially respectable consumption. The working class can't afford to consume walkable neighborhoods, electric vehicles, thrifted clothing, almond milk, education and other virtuous behaviors. This lack of virtue is then used to justify withholding social spending.
## 85 Very interesting. I\031ve seen this with some bike owners; it isn\031t so much a way of getting around but more another consumable. I\031ve known fairly well-off people who become addicted to bikes, have racks of them in the 3-car garage, along with huge amounts of expensive bike gear. Their neighborhoods are generally bike-friendly too. Meanwhile the bike owners who rely on their bike as a primary means of transport are priced out of this trendy bike market, and the st/roads in their neighborhood tend to be busy and dangerous.
## 86 The real American dream
## 87 its in canada bud
## 88 You mean the town where you can\031t find a home under $1 million, condos are half a million, you have to work there to buy there by law which you aren\031t earning enough to buy there working in a tourist shop so you\031re either retired and wealthy or the one partner works in the town and the other is driving into the nearby city 1.5 hours away to earn the money to live there. Or you\031re on a tourist visa and being driven to a resort to work there, or squatting in a house with 40 other people who work in the tourist shops. \n\nOf all the towns to pick to make your point you made one of the stupidest choices. Most people who buy there made their money in oil and gas.
## 89 Most people on this sub don have any logic you\031d have to drive 200km to Calgary and back just to earn a living.
## 90 Well, it would be even more expensive if you didn\031t have to live there!
## 91 I am on this sub for a reason, and I do think the entire GCC is far too car centric (duh) but there is a real need for people to please understand that no one but the very poorest segment of society will choose to walk in 40°-50°C weather. These posts are ridiculous.\n\nI walk most everywhere in my home town, but I have taken Ubers for <1km rides in the Gulf during the summer, because it **is** that bad. They can build walkable parks that people drive to in their AC vehicles on days where the weather is kind. No, they couldn't build all of Dubai like this.\n\nNow, there are ways to plant desert-resistant trees for shade, and build architecture to help ventilation on the streets but you still run into the issue of walking next to AC units pumping out burning air and cycling not being a viable option for \\~5km trips due to heat. Building less car centric cities in such climates is a real challenge, one that I dont think anyone has fully solved, and one that will become more and more urgent as the planet heats up.\n\n"Why couldn't you just build Disneyland in your burning desert?" is absurd, and uninformed condescension is not the way to go about solving this huge challenge.\n\n**EDIT**: Actually went on the original post to look at the pictures. It's a ghost town. And you're here asking why they didn't extend the model to their entire city?
## 92 Based on the [wiki page](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubai), the Dubai area has been inhabited since 1100 BC. Why not do whatever they did before cars and AC?
## 93 Ah yes, why don't they go back to the middle ages? Maybe that's a way to solve the energy in crisis in Europe too, just go back to whatever we did before oil and gas heated our houses in the winter.\n\n"Whatever they did" was being poor and not have a choice but to deal with it. Now they are not poor and are not willing to deal with the difficulties and harshness of Bedouin life. \nThere's also this little phenomenon called climate change you might have heard about that has made the place hotter than it was thousands of years ago.
## 94 The people of dubai oftentimes wear clothes known as bisht and abaya, and well... they are excellent at shielding people from elements. But as far as I know a huge chunk of Dubai's profit comes from tourism, and I doubt your average Joe would wear bisht all the time. While I'm not an expert on culture and all that stuff, I feel like introduction of tourism to the area might deter tradition and less people will be dressing in those clothes. So, AC's are kinda needed. As for cars... I don't think the Dubai area was that populated that you couldn't use camels. But it definitely is now.\n\nOh, also, Dubai area definately has been inhabited for longer than 1100BC. Just look at Saruq Al hadid.
## 95 Yeah, ever wondered what people love about disneyland? A nice walkable place for a premium price and surrounded by parking lots, stroads and highways....
## 96 You\031re literally asking a petrol state why they don\031t like walkable cities.
## 97 Abu Dhabi owns +85% of the country's oil reserves, the rest being divided among the other 6 emirates including Dubai. Dubai is not as oil-rich as people believe. They've certainly used oil money to build their city from the sand up, but there's a reason Dubai is the most diversified of the economies in the Gulf. \n\nThey actually are looking into making the city more walkable, but the best they've come up with is this madness : a 93km air-conditioned highway loop for pedestrians and bikes. [https://www.esquireme.com/news/the-loop-dubai](https://www.esquireme.com/news/the-loop-dubai)\n\nAs a tourist destination, I think they like walkable cities, they just sincerely don't know how to build them without AC.
## 98 One thing that irks me about American (influenced) infrastructure is how none of it is built with the thought of living in it / using it in mind, but built based on how it looks from a distance and on real estate portfolios
## 99 Bay Shore, NY
## 100 Yeah nothing wrong with the vague definition of suburbs. Just the the way 95% are built as isolated after thoughts, in the middle of an old corn field.\n\nMixed use zoning is what the US needs more than anything.
## 101 The AMA is over, but feel free to continue to chat on here! We'll leave this stickied for the next 24 hours or so then let it sink naturally. Thanks for being such an awesome subreddit y'all!\n\nAlso, if you liked this one, we have Daniel Knowles doing an AMA on April 13th!\n\nhttps://time.is/0100PM_13_Apr_2023_in_ET?Daniel_Knowles_AMA
## 102 Hey! Thank you a lot for your work.\n\nI have a specific question, sorry if it\031s a bit out there! A bit of background, I am from Eastern Europe, specifically Serbia. Novi Sad, the city, was a walkable, bike oriented city. That\031s how I grew up and then I moved to Toronto and just could not understand what felt so \034off\035 about life here until I discovered your channel.\n\nAnyways, do you ever plan making videos about countries that are not as rich or quite as developed as The Netherlands, Denmark or France? I think some of the most interesting work happens in these countries, but obviously on a smaller scale. However that means they have to find solutions that are not as mind-blowing as Amsterdam\031s new bike garage. Novi Sad, for example, has a nice bike buying grant for all people, good and new bike lanes (even some interesting inter-city ones), it\031s turning a whole big neighbourhood into a pedestrian one and building a new pedestrian bridge! Not to be presumptuous, but I think some poorer countries could make for interesting videos too. Maybe even on the opposite end of the spectrum, would you consider making a video about countries that are regressing?\n\nAgain, thank you, you\031ve really opened my eyes to a lot about the world we live in!!!
## 103 Hey, thanks so much!\n\nI do plan to make more videos about more countries, and I hope to get back to Eastern Europe some time. At the end of the day, car infrastructure is horrendously expensive, so the less money your country has, the less car infrastructure it should be building. Sadly, the wealthy (who have the cars) usually hold the political power in most lower-income countries.\n\nHowever, I have a very strict rule with my channel: I do not talk about places unless I go there myself. I do not want to turn into a "Wikipedia" channel that bases videos just off of what I've read online. As such, covering other countries is limited by my ability to travel. And for the near future, I will be focusing on countries that are doing things right, not places that are doing things wrong, and that is going to mostly be Western Europe & the Far East for quite a while.
## 104 If you do start covering countries that are doing it wrong , might I suggest Cyprus? I think we're a rather interesting case because we are a relatively rich European country but we are heavily indoctrinated into car culture. We: \n\n\n1. Have the highest rate of car dependency in Europe (85% of people are car dependent based on an EU-wide survey by the European commission)\n2. Are one of only four countries in the world and the only country in Europe with a mandatory helmet law.\n3. Have the lowest rate of urban tree cover in a capital in all of Europe (4%)\n\nWe don't have sidewalks on most streets and when we do people will park on them. People drive like absolute maniacs on the road and public transportation which is almost unusable is seen as something only poor people use.\n\nIts interesting because we are a very small country that has the potential to build great urban design but the only thing that is holding us back is the mentality. \n\n\nP.S. My brother and I both love your videos. They've really helped open our eyes to all the issues in our homeland and have inspired us to try and make a difference.
## 105 I respect that, just a suggestion. Thank you very much!
## 106 There are places in Eastern Europe that are doing things right, or working to undo the damage. Warsaw for example is pumping a lot of money into public transport and improving bike infrastructure.
## 107 I'm from Warsaw and I definitely would love to see a video about my city or another Eastern Europe city, especially about the principles of soviet design. I lived in a housing estate built in the 60's that was THE model of 15 minute city. Warsaw especially is an interesting place, since it was 80% destroyed during WW2 and was rebuilt according to a very deliberate plan by soviet urbanists. Heck, I would looooove to show you around.
## 108 As recently moved here from 50k city where i did cycle/walk everywhere. Its really nice, now living in soviet blocks with greenery in the middle of bunch of them withing walking distance of amenities its really nice to just go on a tram everyday.\n\nThere are some obvious issues like why is tarchomin not on the trainline near pludy choszczowka and recent for profit development for investment reason (not for living) and spilling out into single family homes in wawer, wlochy which are really well connected, as well as basically 0 parking enforcement.
## 109 Yeah, the more recent a housing development is, the more issues it has. However some developers have been catching on that walkability and amenities are attractive.
## 110 There is an urbanism YouTube channel that made a video on Soviet city planning, I think it might have been City Beautiful.
## 111 Yep, here it is!\n\nhttps://youtu.be/JGVBv7svKLo
## 112 I visited Warsaw all too briefly on a layover and a full trip has been on my radar ever since. You have a beautiful city!
## 113 I would LOVE to see a NJB video about soviet cities
## 114 I was recently in Jamaica visiting step-family and appalled by just how much the development of their highway system has impeded village life. \n\nMany workers cram in a bus to drive 2+ hours to work on the other side of the island in hotels, and towns that used to bring in tourist money have been economically decimated.\n\nI wasn\031t able to garner too much, as my trip was only a week, but it was devastating to see the development of the country going in such and odd direction.
## 115 He just uploaded [this one](https://youtu.be/kdz6FeQLuHQ) 11 days ago, so I think the answer is yes.
## 116 im not sure if the Bahamas is exactly a third world country
## 117 I didn\031t mean third world countries only! Just anything beyond the Anglosphere or Western Europe. Well Eastern Europe specifically I think is quite fascinating in urbanism because of its political pasts, but is often overlooked. I didn\031t realize he put out that video recently on the Bahamas though, that\031s great.
## 118 you'd be surprised, maybe not "3rd world", but close. there's AIDS camps/shacks, actual Bahamian residents are pretty impoverished on some of the islands. Take Nassau, one side has what might be described as slums, the other has a massive casino and resort and shit like ice cream shops. Very detached and most don't see the poverty when they visit or hear about the islands.
## 119 Nor is Serbia.
## 120 Given that Serbia can afford to have [brand new double deck Stadler KISS trains](https://youtu.be/0weGn6GRlW4) on newly rehabilitated rail lines, yes.
## 121 Just because my friend has a new iPhone max 17 doesn't mean he can afford it lol.\nThose trains were bought at a higher price so they could arrive in time when the rail way was finished.\n"the best most modern railway trains fastest best we are such a good government etc" \n\nThe question of spending that money on trains and was there a better thing to buy is a different debate.
## 122 Serbia is not third world, but I didn\031t mean just that. Mostly anything beyond thr Anglosphere and Western Europe. Specifically Eastern Europe as well, I think a lot of it is quite fascinating urbanism-wise, but often overlooked.
## 123 Serbia is a second world country. These terms, while sometimes used to represent wealthy or poor nations, are tied to their use in delineating nations during the Cold War.\n\nFirst World - The US and it's capitalist, Western allies\n\nSecond World - China, USSR, and their communist, Eastern allies\n\nThird World - Unaligned or powerless nations, typically the Global South.
## 124 Yugoslavia literally led the non-aligned countries movement, it was by definition a third world country. They were not aligned with the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact.
## 125 He didn't specify third world though
## 126 I'm so happy I stumbled upon your comment. We are actually planning to go to Novi Sad in a month or two to visit friends who have moved to Serbia in September, and they have never mentioned how walkable and especially bike friendly this city is. This makes me wonder whether it is possible to rent out bikes there during our visit. Do you think it would be safe to also bike with a one year old in a carrier wagon/carrier seat on a bike? Is that a thing there?
## 127 Hey there! I\031m glad to be of service haha. \n\nThe city is quite bike friendly, but obviously not like The Netherlands. I would say it is safe though yes! I often see small kids riding, sometimes parents with carriers. The thing is I\031m from there so have my own bike, so not super sure where the best place to rent is. There are some city rental stations, but I\031ve never seen them actually used haha. I know of a coffee shop that rents bike near my favourite bike path, it\031s called Biciklana. You can rent a bike there and then go to the Kej (Quay in English) which is the long bike path that runs along the Danube! It\031s the most picturesque because of the river and the fortress. But yeah try calling the different bike shops in the city, I\031m sure they\031ll point you in the right direction. I\031m not sure who rents ones with the child carrier, but best to just ask. \n\nAlso most of the main streets have bike paths and they\031re safe because they run along the sidewalk, not the street if that makes sense. Some main ones that have good bike lanes and connect with the centre are the Kej, Bulevar Oslobodjenja, Futoaka/Jevrejska ulica&
## 128 Thank you so much! I really appreciate the answer :)
## 129 Hey, I did my Erasmus in Novi Sad! Great, walkable city :)
## 130 Eastern Europe definitely deserves some attention. It's a very weird mix of walkable places and newer car-centric infrastructure. NS or DB can have many well-known faults, but at least they have them.
## 131 I'll love to see one on south American cities like Rio, Buenos Aires, Montevideo etc...
## 132 CityNerd has a few videos that feature Central America https://www.youtube.com/@CityNerd/search?query=mexico
## 133 Intercity bika paths to Novi Sad? Any resources on this? I only know along the Danube which is a nice way, but I've cycled to Novi Sad for EXIT a few times and intercity cycling in most of Serbia is not the most comfortable.
## 134 Yes intercity biking in Serbia it\031s not the best at all, but there\031s some work being done. Especially along the Eurovelo routes that pass through Serbia (mostly Eurovelo 6). They\031re about to finish the full length of the Novi Sad-Bege\r 23km bike path which is quite exciting for local bike enthusiasts. The scenery is awesome. It passes through a couple of towns, that\031s what I was thinking of when I commented, I guess it\031s more intercity-town than intercity though lol.
## 135 Not to be dramatic but I\031m forever indebted to you. You\031ve made my life a lot easier - not only have you opened my eyes to a lot of harsh truths, but I\031ve also been sending your videos to several people and they\031ve had their perspectives on human-centric design permanently shifted.\n\nI\031m studying data science and urban planning, and I want to go into some subset of both fields - something where I can do quantitative research to support initiatives that can help us at least take baby steps toward eliminating car-centric design. \n\nSince you\031ve had to use a lot of ~research-backed logic~ with a lot of carbrained people you encounter, what are some questions/relationships you think are under-explored in the discipline that researchers should turn their attention to in the coming years?
## 136 Hey, thanks so much! It's always so good to hear this. And it's great that you're getting into urban planning and data science. We need more orange pilled urbanists in important positions!\n\nI'm really not sure if I'm the right person to ask about research topics, as I'm not a researcher myself. In general though, I don't think there's really a lack of *data* showing that walkable cities are better than car-centric places, by pretty much every metric. The issues are not related to data, they're with political will and the status quo (with a little bit of auto and fossil fuel industry lobbying on the side). \n\nThis is one of the reason why I don't really focus that much on data on my channel, I focus on experiences. Because the data is there (and I do refer to it sometimes), but at the end of the day, data is irrelevant if the experience on the ground in the city isn't great. And the majority of people are "won over" by sharing that experience, and not data and charts.
## 137 I'm a transportation planner / engineer. The way I see it, gov agencies tend to get convinced in two ways:\n\n- Data\n- Public involvement meetings\n\nWhat you're doing is helping the public see how good it can be so they can fight in public involvement meetings. \n\nWhat I do is tell a story with data. But adding more data to your videos helps me convince old habit planners and engineers to think in a better way. There are still a lot of old boomers doing it the old way unfortunately.
## 138 Exactly. I think something universally understood is that...we have a LOT of data, but what we do with the data is the hard part. Finding something useful in it - a pattern, a predictive model, a call to action that can't be ignored by the average person...it's that context that matters. And I'm trying really hard to think about what we can do with that information even better in the future, bc like he said, there isn't a \\*lack\\* of data per se. But it's getting buried and ignored by people in power...ugh.
## 139 This 1000 times.
## 140 Have you ever read the book "Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men" by Caroline Criado Perez?\n\nOne of the first chapters covers city and transit planning, and the data gaps that exist, and what the data does show where it exists (and how it often gets ignored anyway). Women are less likely than men to have cars, which is how it ties into the theme of the book, but like many things, the stuff that helps women, such as city planning for walkability, often helps everyone.
## 141 I have read that book! That's the kind of hidden context I'm itching to find in the spaces I care about. It's a great example of a fact that's stuck with me.
## 142 Do you have any resources, printable or in video format, that we can take to our local boards to push for change? Stats or flashy graphics that can easily convince an audience even if we aren't great speakers ourselves?\n\nIt's important to push for dedicated infrastructure, but sometimes it feels like we're beating our heads against a wall. Since you're kind of a beacon of hope to a lot of transportation-interested lefties, hopefully you have something to spread the Good Word.
## 143 Unfortunately, no. I'm really not an advocate, and I was a bad advocate when I was one. I'm really the wrong person to ask.\n\nI started Not Just Bikes because I gave up on changing Canadian cities. The original "thesis" of the channel could be thought of as, "Canadian cities suck, you should move, and here's why." It was never an advocacy channel.\n\nNow obviously many people can't move, and it's a very privileged position to be in, but when I started the channel, I never expected it to become popular either. But the real, honest truth is that if I knew how to fix North American cities, we never would have moved in the first place. This is why I am constantly linking to and promoting other urbanist channels, because there are people out there who are better than me at advocacy, and are less cynical, too.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nFundamentally though, advocacy is local. You shouldn't be looking to YouTubers to fix your city, you should be looking to your neighbours. Find a local advocacy group near you (there will always be one) or join your local Strong Towns group. And please, please, PLEASE attend any public meetings that your city organizes. Somebody needs to be there to outvote the NIMBYs and Boomers.
## 144 Speaking as one who's attended those meetings, he isn't lying. Most of the meetings are done over zoom so there's really no excuse for missing them.
## 145 There is when you can never find them because they keep canceling and are unreliable. A better idea is to vote and be vocal in your community.
## 146 Honestly some of the strongest advocacy one can do is to sustain attention to a network of people who know what they're talking about, and to repackage and redistribute (with due credit and deep linking of course) so their message reaches as far as it needs to get the ears of people with right levers of power.
## 147 This all sounds like something a good advocate would say. Thank you J!
## 148 Knowledge is power. You've given people a language, and despite not doing advocacy directly, you do it by accident.
## 149 The book "walkable cities" or "confessions of a recovering engineer" are what you're looking for \n\nUrban 3 and Strong Towns are organizations with more info and graphics.\n\nIf you Google any of those things you find plenty. The guys who wrote those books and run the organizations all know each other and reference/collaborate with each other all the time, so if you pick any one of them as a starting point you'll get plenty of good stuff and references to the important bits of the others.
## 150 Walkable City Rules gives a more robust understanding especially if you read through it multiple times.\n\n>Read this whole book \024 not because you need to, but because so will cause you to understand more about the practical aspect of city planning than 90 percent of the people currently engaged in the work. Read it twice, and you will be qualified for [the] planning commission. Three times: open your own urban design consultancy.\n\n\024[Jeff Speck, Walkable City Rules: 101 Steps to Making Better Places, xvi](https://islandpress.org/books/walkable-city-rules)\n\nI have read through the blurbs multiple times, but haven't finished the book a second time. I am, however, going to try and work for an urban design consultancy as a data scientist once I get the experience. Either that for a large rail manufacturer as a Software Engineer/ architect to design custom solutions for customers.
## 151 The [Parking Reform Network](https://parkingreform.org/) is also a rapidly growing org that helps smaller local activist groups to successfully push for change at city council. \n\nThey have a pretty active slack workspace where you can get in touch with a variety of people who are actively organizing for change.

## 160 If you want to push for change the most important thing is to find other advocates in your city. Its not enough to be right, people power is a must. Most US cities have some bike advocacy group; YIMBY Action has chapters across the US, they're very pro-housing & density https://yimbyaction.org/2021/
## 161 \n>transportation-interested **lefties**\n\nNeedlessly exclusionary? I live in a country that isn't the US and there is little to no left right identification. Mainly there are more than two parties and people do not associate their politics with their identity like that. Many "righties" in my country are fierce bike advocates actually.
## 162 Same here in most of the Asia-Pacific. Most conservatives here are also very pro-railway, most notably Japan, South Korea, Thailand and Indonesia.
## 163 i don't think it's really exclusionary lmao, it seems to be simply very american-centric. it does seem like being against car centrism is almost exclusively on the left of the political spectrum in the united states...
## 164 While there are conservative-leaning organizations like https://strongtowns.org that are against car-centrism, this seems to be the exception because conservatives seem to believe and cling to the lie told in the 1950s that "cars are the future."\n\nUh, no cars are not the future and there's a reason we built cities in a certain way for 10,000 years. If it ain't broke don't fix it, as the saying goes.
## 165 It's because modern US conservatism is 99% [petro-masculinity ](https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2021/02/the-fossil-fuel-debates-most-bizarre-byproduct-petro-masculinity/) - an obsession with fossil fuel extraction and consumption as a symbol of traditional masculine role play.

## 170 Yeah some people in this sub have a bad habit of advertising it as leftist and conflating our talking points with other leftist topics. It only works exclusionary as you said and the mods really should be more proactive against it because ultimately we need as many people on our side as we can get. Shunning people in the center or on the right is hurting our cause.
## 171 Seconded this. Especially for European audiences.
## 172 This cropped up on his channel today\n\n[Introducing the Not Just Bikes + Strong Towns Online Course!](https://www.reddit.com/r/notjustbikes/comments/12f1m7f/introducing_the_not_just_bikes_strong_towns/)
## 173 What changes are you looking to implement in your town?
## 174 How have you adapted to your channel growing as big as it has? Does it ever affect your life in ways you didn't expect it to?
## 175 I try not to think about it; I love that I've helped so many people, but I really don't like the idea of being the biggest urbanism channel out there. That's why I try to "spread the love" as much as possible to other channels, so please check out my YouTube Community Page to find other creators to watch: [https://www.youtube.com/@NotJustBikes/community](https://www.youtube.com/@NotJustBikes/community)\n\nBeing a large YouTube creator is a great job, but there are definitely downsides, too. I basically don't use social media anymore, as it's too overwhelming. Humans weren't evolved to deal with that much feedback - good and bad. I'm having trouble handling the number of people try to contact me to buy me a beer, or have a list of new video ideas they want me to make, or have some local advocacy issue they want me to fix. And those are the positive ones. \n\nThe negative comments are usually pretty stupid (from people who made "cars" their identity and feel threatened), but it's exhausting hearing *constant* criticism on "why didn't you say this" and "why did you say it that way" and "why haven't you made a video about this" and "why do you never ..." and "why do you always ...". I usually just tell those people to go watch something else. :)\n\nThe most disturbing though is that there are people in the far-right who would very much like to take down anybody online who challenges the status quo. I know that there are far-right forums out there that are collecting "dirt" on me (mostly comments taken completely out of context), just waiting for the right time to strike. I watched what happened with Lindsey Ellis where she made one gaffe on Twitter and the far-right trolls dumped everything they had on her, and her audience assumed the worst. She shut down her channel completely. I can only hope that when that inevitably happens to me, my audience is smart enough to realize that these dirt-digging trolls are liars. But maybe it would be a good thing to get "cancelled" and go back to being anonymous. :)
## 176 The same concern for posting stuff that comes back to haunt me later is what keeps me away from Twitter or from starting a blog. I wonder how much cool content we're missing out on because of self censorship like that :(
## 177 Hey, I think you can still do that without exposing yourself too much.
## 178 How optimistic are you regarding the future of North American cities? Do you think Amsterdam type cities are in north America\031s near/medium future? \n\nIf you had to move back to Canada, where would you move? (I\031m guessing one of the big three, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver in that order)\n\n\nLastly, will you ever do a video on suburbs that don\031t suck. Particularly, the style found in Vancouver where frequent bus routes serve suburbs and connect to metro stations (this being much more achievable for most cities as it doesn\031t need the large infrastructure costs of streetcar suburbs)
## 179 >How optimistic are you regarding the future of North American cities?\n\nI am not optimistic at all. That's literally why the channel was started: because we gave up on North America and decided the only option was to move. I don't think you could be less optimistic than that! :)\n\n&#x200B;\n\n>If you had to move back to Canada, where would you move?\n\nI will never move back to Canada unless I am forced to. But if I am forced to, I would likely live near family. We already tried to move back to a "walkable" neighbourhood in Canada when we moved from Europe to Riverdale in Toronto, and I only lasted about a year before going insane. So if I were forced to move back to Canada, I would probably take advantage of the ridiculous subsidies that exist for suburban living, buy a car, and try to go outside as little as possible.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n>Lastly, will you ever do a video on suburbs that don\031t suck.\n\nI already have a video that is called "suburbs that don't suck", and I have an entire playlist of the same name: [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJp5q-R0lZ0\\_O00y2lDv8oOqBhla0uabX](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJp5q-R0lZ0_O00y2lDv8oOqBhla0uabX)\n\nI don't plan to make another video about walkable Canadian neighbourhoods though. They're better than car-dependent places, but they're still pretty mediocre. Their most redeeming factor is that they were built before zoning and haven't been bulldozed. They tend to be old, with out-of-date housing, and still too much car traffic. I get that they're better than the alternatives, but I really don't like celebrating that kind of mediocrity.\n\nI will be making videos about suburbs that don't suck in Europe though, and I already filmed some in Norway. These are *new* places that are built to be not-sucking from the start with sound urban planning fundamentals, and they're a lot more interesting to talk about than some old neighbourhood that was lucky enough not to be bulldozed.
## 180 I appreciate the honesty about your lack of optimism for North American cities. There are definitely many small changes happening at local levels due to the advocacy of specific dedicated people, which is fantastic, but systemic change is needed and it really does not appear that the political and cultural will is there. By and large, people are somewhat ignorant and content with the watered-down version of city (or \034city\035) life we must deal with. Unfortunately, even if the will was there it would take many decades to reverse the effects of 70 years of horrible public policy and land use. \n\nI have a ton of respect for those who are willing to do the dirty work of planting seeds so that their grandchildren can sit in the shade. But I think it\031s also valid for people to want a better standard of life for themselves and their children, and to not want to wait an indefinite amount of time for meaningful reform to happen. I\031m glad you provide that perspective and don\031t apologize for it.
## 181 I keep seeing cases of oversized American automobiles (huge F-350s) making their way overseas to walkable cities around Europe and it seems that it is cause for annoyance to a lot of those cities' residents. There's a lot more cars that park on bike lanes, cars too big for their parking spots, and it seems lately that car owners are protesting more against pedestrians. Granted this is based on what I see on here, and I don't live in Europe. I actually live in Houston, about 5 miles away from your favorite stroad! But are European cities becoming more infected with the ideas of American-based car infrastructure and culture? Or are these cases the exception?
## 182 The biggest of the trucks will not be coming to Europe because they require a different driver's license to operate. I think what you see on here is skewed, because while it is a problem in Europe, it's nothing like it is in the US or Canada. You'll see stats about SUV sales in Europe, but many of these European "SUVs" are so small that they would barely be as big as a typical US mid-sized car.\n\nHowever, it is getting worse here, and that's why I made my video about SUVs & pickup trucks: the target audience for that video was *not* Americans, it was Europeans. I wanted to make Europeans realize what problems were coming if we don't do something about the rise of SUVs while we can.
## 183 F350 more or less no one would buy since with cargo it would be rated as a real truck and would need a truck drivers license and would have a speed limit of 80 km/h (50mph) in most countries.\n\nYou see some more F150, RAMs and Hilux's, but they have mostly displaced Land Rovers or Jeeps for rich people on the countryside, so the difference is not noticable in cities.\n\nThe problems in Europe is the SUV trend.
## 184 I work in the film industry in the UK and have done for 5 years, I've watched the construction lads switch from vans to huge pickups that carry less stuff and are a ballache to park. They all moan, but won't switch back to vans. It is genuinely becoming a problem.
## 185 thats kognitive dissonance.\nThey made a bad decission, and now they're fooling themself into the idea it wasn't.
## 186 The construction industry moving to the modern American type of pickup just seems like insanity to me. Either stick with the VW Transporter type of pickup (two seater with a huge bed with foldable sides and a frugal diesel engine) or stay with the van type for safe storage of equipment.
## 187 I live in the Amsterdam city centre and in the past year I've seen a strong uptick in Rams and bigass Ford pickups, as well as people parking in the bike lane. I feel like it used to be rarer, or maybe I'm just so orange-pilled now that it stands out more.
## 188 No, it used to be rarer. Along with companies giving out 3L3H Sprinters and the like instead of a Transit that does fit in a regular size parking space. \n\nI work for a (Dutch) municipality and we have seen a steady rise of "parking problems" due to the above. Our answer is and always will be the same: It is your problem that you have chosen to drive something that does not fit the public space allocated to it. \n\nUnsurprisingly, people don't understand this until they start getting multiple tickets.
## 189 I'm happy the municipalities don't bend over to accomodate those monstrosities.\n\nA pet peeve of mine is that since the parking enforcement has switched to those camera cars, parking in a wrong way is no longer enforced as well because the camera just registers the plate.
## 190 We don't use camera cars. Parking enforcement is still done the old fashioned way (and by doing so we are leaving money on the table so to speak, but we are achieving behavioural change better).
## 191 Yes that's definitely an upside. I do believe most (all?) of the bigger cities have switched to them completely.
## 192 A good few of them have. Ultimately with a camera vehicle (because you can already get them on bicycles/scooters as well) you can cover a lot more of the city than you can when you do it the old fashioned way. \n\nDownside is the automation is not fool proof, so the error rate (or false positive rate) is quite high. You also achieve much less effect in terms of behavioural change as people get a ticket in the mail at a time they don't recall their action. It's basically the same problem that automated speed traps have.
## 193 [deleted]
## 194 Ceased to exist in 2012.
## 195 In some bigger cities in Germany, there are activists deflating the tires of people who drive huge SUVs. They always place a warning sticker on the driver\030s side window. And legally, it\030s not even vandalism (no damage to property, just an annoyance).
## 196 I shudder to think how this form of protest would be perceived in North America: utter bafflement about why monstrous vehicles are a problem, potential extreme violence if you get caught & so on.
## 197 I was literally just reading an article about a woman in Bristol (UK) whose SUV was spray painted. She was so upset! She has to have a car for work!\n\nWhich is fine because she still has a car. It still drives, even! You might feel like a bit of a prat driving around with "I CAUSE ASTHMA" painted on your doors, but, well, you're driving a range rover in a city where some of the roads are narrower than your car, so you should be accustomed to that feeling already.
## 198 There are lots of Americans who are itching for the opportunity to do "justified" "righteous" violence on others. I wouldn't recommend it.
## 199 American here, my city council declared that a locked automobile counts as a locked gun enclosure. (The "what constitutes safe storage" debate was sparked by some kids discovering a backpack with a loaded gun inside.)\n\nSo yeah, you might get run over or you might get shot.
## 200 Has to be f150 and ram 1500 since bigger ones just like other commenter said require a special license which if you have that most likely you need the truck for construction etc. \n\nBut real problem i think hilux or rangers that we got in eu. Owners lift them, jack them and put f150 kits. Just for city drive. Since they are wider then they supposed to be they tend to overshot parking or straight park on sidewalks. \n\nMost of eu got no official way of getting f series or ram trucks so that is kind good but we cannot stop ford ranger or hilux crew.
## 201 [removed]
## 202 Sadly the maximum weight will go up to 4.2 tonnes :(
## 203 Funny mistranslation, commune should be municipality or similar :)
## 204 > are European cities becoming more infected with the ideas of American-based car infrastructure. \n \nI feel like I can answer this. Nobody is pushing for American infrastructure. American trucks in Europe are owned by two different groups: enthusiasts, people who love American lifestyle, the open road, personal freedoms, etc. The other part is counter-culture, people who feel their freedoms are being taken away so they lash out. These are kind of people who take pride in saying they don't care about other people or climate issues.
## 205 Canada is still in the planning phase for the major upgrade of its Windor-Québec corridor rail service. There are many factors to consider in but two of these are polarizing people : speed vs. frequency. In the perfect world with unlimited budget, frequency and speed could live hand in hand but it seems like we cannot have this here in Canada.\n\nMy question is : Is speed more important than frequency? Would having 4 high speed train a day between Toronto-Montréal be better than 20 that barely goes faster than taking the car? \n\n\nI've talked to people around and many seems to say that only speed would make them consider taking the train (strongly emphasizing the word **consider**) while I think the frequency to be the better option as someone who already gave up his car and take the train for intercity travel. I'm obviously biased here but the thing that frustrate me the most about the train service here in Canada is not the speed, but the lack of frequency and delays.
## 206 frequency is much more important in commuter systems, not distance rail. in this case, what you want is a high speed rail, and four departures every day would be pretty fucking fantastic imo. I mean, what good are 20 departures if they each take 11 hours to make destination? at that point, you're likely investing more into infrastructure than you would for the 4x high speed departures. folks will need to plan more carefully for an 11-hr trip, regardless, so if they can do that, I'm sure they can make one of four daily scheduled departures, and I doubt this line, with four daily trains, would be so popular as for selling out of tickets to be an issue of any real concern.\n\ne: my b, was citing the distance for the Windsor-Quebec line and then saw you were talking about Toronto-Montreal. still, six hours ish is a bit long for a commute and I feel most of my thoughts still apply.
## 207 I agree, build the network for speed first, you can always add more trains. What you can't do is increase the speed of the track later on (not without an absolutely insane cost).
## 208 This 100%,\nprioritise frequency for medium distance\n(same metro area) services,\nand speed for long distance ones\n(ones you probably wouldn't take more than once a week)
## 209 It's frequency, every time.\n\nThe Netherlands is a great example of this: the trains run so often that they act almost like a country-wide metro system. For example, trains between Amsterdam and Eindhoven leave every 10 minutes. At frequencies like this, you don't even need to bother looking at a schedule; you just show up and take the next train. \n\nBut these are not high-speed trains: most Dutch trains run at 160km/h or maybe 200km/h. Switzerland is the same: there are almost no high-speed trains there.\n\nPeople like the idea of fast trains, because they think of them like airplanes, but what will actually get people using trains is frequent reliable service.
## 210 Amsterdam and Eindhoven are only 120km or so away so it's not a great comparison. It's regional travel. A train twice as fast over 540km distance is a much different story. Those trips are much less frequently made so a schedule isn't nearly the hassle as it is for day to day use. A high speed train saving 3 hours on a long distance journey is worth the hit to frequency, unlike shorter trips
## 211 To put some math to it: Total time to destination (Td) is transit time (Tt) plus expected time waiting for departure (Tw). Transit time is distance (d) / speed (s). Expected wait for departure is half of time between departures (W). (You could want to leave any time in the window between departures, it averages out to half.)\n\n&#x200B;\n\nAmsterdam to Eindhoven slow and frequent:\n\nd = 120 km ; s = 180 km/h ; W = 10 min\n\nTt = 120 km / (180 km/h) = 40 min\n\nTw = 10 min / 2 = 5 min\n\nTd = 40 min + 5 min = 45 min\n\n&#x200B;\n\nAmsterdam to Eindhoven fast and infrequent:\n\nd = 120 km ; s = 300 km/h ; W = 3 h (basing this on OP's example of 4 trains per day, over a 12 hour service day)\n\nTt = 120 km / (300 km/h) = 24 min\n\nTw = 3 h / 2 = 1 h 30 min\n\nTd = 24 min + 1 h 30 min = 1 h 54 min\n\n&#x200B;\n\nAmsterdam to Eindhoven fast and semi-frequent:\n\nd = 120 km ; s = 300 km/h ; W = 1 h\n\nTt = 120 km / (300 km/h) = 24 min\n\nTw = 1h / 2 = 30 min\n\nTd = 55 min\n\n&#x200B;\n\n540 km trip slow and frequent:\n\nd = 540 km ; s = 180 km / h ; W = 10 min\n\nTt = 540 km / (180 km / h) = 3 h\n\nTw = 10 min / 2 = 5 min\n\nTd = 3 h 5 min\n\n&#x200B;\n\n540 km trip fast and infrequent:\n\nd = 540 km ; s = 300 km / h ; W = 3 h\n\nTt = 540 km (300 km / h) = 1 h 48 m\n\nTw = 3h / 2 = 1 h 30\n\nTd = 1h 48 + 1 h 30 = 3 h 18 min\n\n&#x200B;\n\n540 km trip fast and semi-frequent:\n\nd = 540 ; s = 300 km / h ; W = 1 h\n\nTt = 540 km (300 km / h) = 1 h 48 m\n\nTw = 1h / 2 = 30 min\n\nTd = 1 h 48 min + 30 min = 2 h 18 min\n\n&#x200B;\n\nConclusion: Even with 540 km distance trains need to run frequently enough to get people there quickly, but not as frequently as over shorter distances.
## 212 Oh if a Toronto to Montreal train was 180km/hr than frequency would win big time. Our trains go about 100km/hr. We're hoping we can get 180km/hr as "high speed" here.\n\nThe issue is driving and flying are vastly superior to the train which is slow and expensive. 180km/hr would make it superior to driving and competitive with flying
## 213 But those are top speeds, not average speeds. According to google maps the trains from Amsterdam to Eindhoven takes 77 minutes, which would be around 95km/h average speed.
## 214 Most of the people using the Windsor-Montreal network wouldn\031t be going that full distance. Sure, they could, but really it\031s going to be people frequently making a journey a fraction of that distance. Which is why frequency is still more important.
## 215 Speaking from personal experience, I take the train between Montreal and Toronto, which is 540 km. I would MUCH rather speed that frequency for that distance. I would be interested to know what the usage stats along that corridor are, because I would think most people are going between the two most populous stops on the route. Of course, those stats are likely suppressed by the current train's length (5-6 hours minimum), re-routing would-be passengers to car (comfort, similar length) or plane (faster).
## 216 That's a good point
## 217 Will they have to book tickets for a specific train? If they do, then frequently doesn't really help as much as it should.
## 218 >Amsterdam and Eindhoven are only 120km or so away so it's not a great comparison. \n\nLmao, that's the length of one train line in Perth
## 219 160-200km/h is still like twice as fast as any train in Canada sigh
## 220 The trains he refers to top out at 140km/h though.\n\nThere is a tiny stretch of 160km/h track (where due to technical reasons almost all trains run 140km/h) and a single high speed rail line (Amsterdam - Rotterdam - Breda) where domestic train run 160km/h over most of its length, and this will be raised to 200km/h in a year or two.
## 221 > But these are not high-speed trains: most Dutch trains run at 160km/h or maybe 200km/h.\n\n*cries in Norwegian*
## 222 Mye av jernbanen rundt Oslo kjører i nærme 200km/h!
## 223 Yeah, the tunnels are good, but a bit outside Oslo it's slooow. Though that's also on average, so it includes stopping and waiting for a train to pass
## 224 Yeah but the distances between Dutch cities are *insanely small*, like under 100km from Amsterdam to Rotterdam. It's only 35km from Amsterdam to Utrecht. Speed is almost irrelevant at those distances.
## 225 I think speed vs frequency can have different benefits for different use cases on the same line. For example one big benefit of high speed trains is replacing air travel. You won\031t really replace a TO->MTL flight with a 5.5h train ride because that\031s about the same amount of time as flying with security. A fast enough train might actually entice more fliers to take the train instead.\n\nOn the other hand someone trying to go from Toronto to Kitchener may benefit much more from frequency as it\031s not a long distance and the convenience of more frequency would make a lot bigger difference.
## 226 I don't think a train has to be faster than a flight to be enticing because you skip security, baggage claim, lines, cramped travel, etc. Even if the total time is 1 hour longer it's significantly more enjoyable. The real challenge is making people consciously aware of the benefits. A lot of North Americans have never taken a train.
## 227 Friends of mine in Brittany, France, recently visited in California, then were flying home to Paris, and taking the train from Paris to Brittany. This is a 4ish hour train ride (it's high-speed at the start but slows down when it gets near their home), and is a little longer than if they had a Paris-Brittany flight, but they were actually bragging about how the airport nearest to their house is shutting down soon because nobody takes the plane and would rather take the train. They'd like a longer express/high speed line to cut a little time off the trip, remove the slow part near the end, but otherwise are much happier using the train to get around than regional flights.
## 228 The real issue is that, with air travel being extremely subsidized and trains being something people aren't used to, it's a chicken-egg problem.
## 229 It depends. Speed is important for long distance, and frequency is important for commuter rail. If you need to go to work every day then having a train every 20 minutes gives you a lot of flexibility in case you miss one or you get caught up at work and you leave a bit late. \n\nHowever if you are going on holidays or on a work trip it's generally not important to have that much flexibility.
## 230 Hmm so maybe it\031s about trips you make occasionally vs often?\n\nOr maybe total travel time is most important, and speed and frequency are secondary considerations. This would seem to jive with the idea that each person has a travel \034quota\035 of around 1h a day
## 231 If you four-track it, you can have both
## 232 No need for 4 tracks really, here in the Netherlands our high intensity train network works mostly on double tracks, with a mix of faster intercity trains and slower local trains that stop at each and every station. For instance, the double track between Utrecht and Arnhem has 4 intercities each hour plus 2 slow trains, and the occasional ICE. In both directions.\n\nWith extra tracks near stations, good planning and monitoring, and robust safety systems, you can create opportunities for the faster trains to pass the slower ones, without either being hindered. \n\nThere's no reason Canada couldn't create something similar (of course on a greater scale due to the increased distances).
## 233 I have to disagree with Jason here. 4 sold out high speed trains each day will soon become 8 sold out high speed trains, which will eventually turn into 20. 20 moderately used slow trains each day is at risk of eventually turning into 10, or 5. \n\nPut another way, the infrastructure is a fixed cost. It's easy to run extra trains on existing infrastructure. It's hard to make a whole new infrastructure. \n\nFrequency being everything is true when you're not booking a specific train. Extra frequency means you can show up for the train at any time, not stress about missing it, etc. Generally with long distance rail, you have to book a specific train, so extra frequencies don't provide as much extra flexibility. Still better to have them than not, but speed is more important.
## 234 Quality high speed rail should easily pay for its own operating expenses. So I would say speed is the most important to plan for first, with frequency increasing based on the fare revenue that comes in
## 235 1) Do you think it is plausible for the average Canadian suburb/urban centre to have the same kind of revolution that the NL underwent from the 70's to today?\n\n2) What do you think is the most effective way for an engaged citizen to generate positive change like the things you highlight on the channel. \n\nFirst time caller, long time listener. Love the vids; have learned an immense amount from you and your work.
## 236 Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoy the channel. \n\n\nFor the first one, no. I do not. That's why we left.\n\nThe 1970s Netherlands is not anywhere close to the situation in Canada today. It's more like Canada was in the 1950s and 60s. The 70s in the Netherlands had mixed-use zoning everywhere, mostly intact (though underfunded) public transit, and very little money to build car-centric infrastructure. It will take a lot more work to change Canadian cities than it did to change the Netherlands in the 1970s.\n\nBut also, I think it stems from a misunderstanding of what happened in the Netherlands, too. There was the oil crisis and "stop de kindermoord." The way it's told, it sounds like advocates spoke up, the enlightened population realized their mistakes, and moved on. But that's not how it happened. \n\nThe country was broke and raising debt was hard. Many of the people voting down car infrastructure projects were doing it on financial grounds, not ethical grounds. And advocates were mostly ignored. It wasn't until people literally started rioting and getting in fist fights in the streets that anything seriously changed. I just cannot see Canadians rioting to get better cities.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nFor the second one, I am the wrong person to ask, as I was never a very good advocate. Not Just Bikes is not and was never an advocacy channel. I can show you what great urbanism looks like, and I can tell you what the the problem is, but I don't have the solutions: if I did, we never would have left Canada in the first place.\n\nThe only thing I can say is that advocacy is local. So join your local advocacy groups and you *absolutely must* go to local community meetings run by your city to outweigh the NIMBYs and Boomers.
## 237 Thanks for your answers and humility in knowing the role you're playing in the revolution. Your information has informed and inspired countless people, like my wife and I, so good on ya! I know you didn't create the term, but you have brought "Stroads" to the forefront and I see them everywhere now. It's like you showed us the urban planning Matrix ;)\n\nGood to know about the NL and economic forces driving the changes. I did not know that. Have you made a video about that part? \n\nOur muni is running structural deficits at the moment and is only propping up their excessive spending with Sr. Govt transfers for the past 4 years. Maybe, just maybe, they'll hit the wall for spending and need to save money on wasted asphalt everywhere! I've started a shadow govt blog to try and show them the errors in their ways: www.missi0n.ca. \n\nTrying as hard as one can to inspire the revolution we so badly need.
## 238 > I just cannot see Canadians rioting to get better cities.\n\nNot sure about Canadians, but Americans absolutely have done this in the past. Successfully too. Otherwise NYC, Cambridge MA, and San Francisco (among others) would be all highways.
## 239 Have you considered doing a video on the de-streetcar-ification of North American cities and the impact it had on urban development? Many cities like LA and Detroit had world leading streetcar networks that where systematically ripped out and replaced with terrible bus lines. (Note: this was largely done with voter approval and not explicitly car company propaganda) majority of voters wanted these systems gone and it would interesting to explore why.
## 240 I feel like that topic has been done to death, so I really don't think I'll be covering it anytime soon. I mean hell, the movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is about this. In general, I'm trying to talk less about the US and more about Europe; I'm leaving the US topics to US creators.\n\nWith respect to why people wanted them gone, these streetcar systems were pretty bad by the end of WW2. Most trolley systems were privately run, and they had fare deals negotiated with the city. However, these deals were negotiated before inflation was a thing, and when inflation hit, the companies running the trolley systems couldn't afford to maintain their infrastructure and rolling stock. Then, during the world wars, there were severe restrictions on resources, which made the systems fall even more into disrepair. By the time the 50s came along, the trolleys were ancient and crumbling, the trolley companies were failing, and it seemed clear to "everyone" that the car was the future.
## 241 You forgot the terrible long-term business strategy of selling instead of renting land leading to investors taking over the companies and selling them for a profit to GM.
## 242 Thanks for response! I trust your instincts. Love your work.
## 243 I also find it very interesting that in Boston at least, the streetcars we kept are the ones that have their own right of way. Every streetcar that had to share a right of way with cars is now a bus, with one exception (which only runs for a few blocks, and only because it's the nearest point to turn it around). We even have a random streetcar line, disconnected from the other ones, and only connected to the red line (subway) with a transfer. It survived because it has its own right of way, that it doesn't have to share with cars.
## 244 He kind of already did a video on transit-oriented development. I guess you can watch that along with "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?", which was free on YouTube last I checked lol. But ya thinking about how much money is involved just to get a tram "out of the way" of traffic is really awful, as if petrol/lithium won't start another sanction/war. Seattle can't get a small fraction of the rail infrastructure it had back. And the stations that will (probably?) exist currently have a whole lot of nothing around them as transit oriented and mixed use development has been illegal since the destruction of simpler rail infrastructure that didn't involve massive boring, pillars, and whole new lanes displacing more people...in a seismically active area. And America now lags every other OECD country in preventive healthcare.
## 245 this is a great idea, and graphics from Segregation By Design could be used for it
## 246 I would just throw out there that, given a lot of the car-centric propaganda many Americans were being force-fed, the \034why\034 might still very well be \035car companies convinced them it was a good idea.\034 Voters don\031t vote for their best interests, they vote for what they *think* is in their best interest. I\031m not by any means very well educated on this subject, so I would love to hear someone else chime in, but I just wanted to point out that, just because it was actively voted for, doesn\031t mean it wasn\031t still manufactured consent.
## 247 I can't thank you enough for what you've done. You were the one who finally made me understand that the reason I as a non-driver had been struggling with so many things wasn't that I was broken and just needed to learn to be comfortable with driving, but was that society was broken. You are responsible for my getting involved in local activism. You're literally the reason I moved out of my parents' house in the suburbs where I felt stranded to buy a townhouse in the city itself, where I'm flourishing. You gave me a new lens through which to view life, and like finally finding glasses for the first time, I'm seeing more clearly than ever before. So... thank you. You rule. I don't really have any questions right now, maybe later, but I just wanted to say that. :)
## 248 Thanks so much for sharing; that's amazing to hear! I started the channel for exactly this reason: so that people like you could learn about good urbanism and make positive changes to their lives.
## 249 You're awesome and really helped me to contextualize my feelings for why I always enjoyed some places and others I felt trapped. Really makes me hate loud cars, though, despite really loving driving. As a result, I've gotten more into car culture and found [hello roads](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8jp_lligz0) and adopt Speck's stance on cars\n\n>This may seem like an odd moment to admit this, but I love cars& I have always owned the best-handling car I could reasonably afford. I especially love high-revving Japanese sports cars& [In DC] I had no reason to break my car out of its garage. Between walking, biking, and our extensive Metro transit system, driving [is] rarely the most convenient choice.\n\n\024 [Jeff Speck, WALKABLE CITY: How Downtown Can Save America, One Step at a Time](https://www.worldcat.org/title/934694105)
## 250 This so much. I have felt the same way about driving for as long as I can remember, and I'm also thankful for Not Just Bikes' channel for helping me get the language to describe the societal problems vs. Individual anxieties.
## 251 It's also interesting for us not from Leftpondia as some of the stuff is just ... really hard to imagine. Like trains that just go into town in the morning, sit there all day, and then return to the suburbs. All that investment in rail infrastructure and then they use it like _that_?\n\nAnd those HAWK crossings! What will they come up with next?
## 252 Agreed, the US really screws up your perception and makes everything that isn't a main street stroad with strip malls seem like [Disneyland](https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2018/3/20/what-we-can-learn-from-disneys-main-street).\n\nEDIT: Added link
## 253 That and even if you visit someplace nice the thought doesn't immediately occur that you too could live, if not there, then someplace like that.\n\nLike I'd visited friends in Oslo for years until the thought struck me that maybe I'd like to actually _live_ here. Kind of gradually fell into it, first having that college experience in a college town that life doesn't have to be all detached housing and malls, then living in a suburb of Oslo (an urban suburb, a town that is a conurbation to Oslo now), and then finally inner Oslo.\n\nMy general impression of Norway is that it's not really kosher to express an interest in good urban living and that the good life is supposed to be rural\024and suburbs might be good as pretend-rural, but also don't really have any headspace. We don't even have a word for sprawl.
## 254 This is how the US is, but at the same time the "good life" is a weird intersection of small towns and ranches. This means the suburbs have diverging priorities.
## 255 HAWK isn't that bad - I've seen light-controlled crossings for pedestrians in lots of countries. What gets me is when they have a pedestrian crossing on a 4 lane stroad where cars are supposed to give way to pedestrians. Yeah, right.
## 256 Awesome to hear about suburbanite\031s real life transformations. I\031m grateful that you\031re participating in local activism. You\031re helping bringing about good change for many.
## 257 Echoing this sentiment 100x. I\031ve loved biking and walking prior to this channel, but it really opened my eyes to *why* there are some of the issues I notice. I view cities in a completely different light now.
## 258 No, I'm not crying =-\n\nI'm very happy for you.
## 259 1) What is your opinion on Paris banning e-scooters?\n\n2) What do you think about the future of e-scooters?\n\nHere in Finland amount of e-scooters is not regulated and it has led to problems. E-scooters are filling walkways and bicycleways and blocking access. Also excess use of alcohol combined with e-scooters and no helmets causes a lot of injuries. On the other hand they are valuable option as a last mile solution.
## 260 Paris isn't banning e-scooters, they're banning rental scooters. People can still buy and operate their own scooters, and that's fine.\n\nThese scooter rental companies are pretty fly-by-night, and I don't think they're ultimately good for cities. It's possible that municipal scooter rentals could fill a niche, but I haven't seen one of those take off yet; most municipalities are focused on bike rentals (if anything).\n\nFor more of my thoughts on this (and Alan Fisher's too), check out the second episode of my new podcast: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZGpZurSjmI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZGpZurSjmI)
## 261 Thank you for your answer! I'll definitely check out your podcast. :)
## 262 e-scooters are a plague in Paris because people ride them on the sidewalks with pedestrians, and even though crowded plazas. No wonder there was a backlash.
## 263 The thing that always struck me is that people would just leave them on a sidewalk. Often not even trying to angle them to be less obtrusive to walking by.
## 264 I think e-scooters should be required to have parking like those rentable bikes have. The company should pay for the public cost of taking up space in a city by paying for their parking areas in town. Plus then they could run electric infrastructure to them so people don\031t have to go running around the city picking up dead ones and driving them to be charged
## 265 Check out the Urbanist Agenda Podcast with Alan Fisher. They talk about this problem specifically
## 266 I moved from the Netherlands to Finland and I absolutely hate those things.
## 267 How can I try and explain content like yours to my parents (I\031m a 13 year old who watches a lot of your stuff) I tried to show your video on biking in the cold in Oulo to my dad but he refused to watch it and continued to claim that biking in the winter in Boston was impossible?
## 268 I like the suggestion to show it to your mother. :)\n\nThere's a relevant expression here though: you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. It's frustrating when your family doesn't "get it" (I've been there), but that doesn't really change anything about your opinions.\n\nYou should be glad that you found out about good urbanism while you were young, because you can use that information when you choose which college or university you'll go to. And in the end, your dad will see that living somewhere walkable will make you happy, and that should be enough for him.
## 269 Show it to your mother, she'll pull him in!\n\nu/NotJustBikes I can't thank you enough for your videos, especially this one, showing your reason for moving - the streets of the Netherlands full of kids cycling and playing happily without parents marshalling them, and the desolate empty streets of North American cities where all the kids are in cars with their parents \n\n[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHlpmxLTxpw&t=12s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHlpmxLTxpw&t=12s)
## 270 same, i\031m 14 and i\031ve been orangepilled and my parents are super nimby, mainly my mom bc she hates people but both of them are, it\031s hard to explain without showing them videos, i will soon tho
## 271 Some people have very, very, very, very high importance allocated to "roles" in their mind. A man _, a woman _, a parent _, a child _, a police officer _, a business owner _. They fill in those blanks easily. It's not something I think they choose to do, it's the way they are and no one ever interrupted that early enough. Now interrupting that thought pattern is very difficult for some.\n\nIt could be that your parent simply doesn't accept that children can teach their parents, or that children could have valuable ideas that didn't come from their parents or their training.\n\nProbably that's not it for you and your dad, but if it is, you can save yourself some frustration by recognizing this root cause and attacking it directly.
## 272 if your parents don't listen, talk to your city officials. Be annoying. You're a kid, so nobody really listens to you, but don't give up.\n\nWhen you're old enough your understanding of all of this is going to make you a fantastic official.
## 273 I'm a dad in Boston and I just biked my kid to school all winter long. [Show your dad this picture](https://i.imgur.com/L4i7yUk.jpg) and give him my number.
## 274 Lots of people with conservative parents spend tons of energy trying to win them over, but remember: they are just two votes! If you're hitting a wall there, your effort will be much better spent elsewhere. Don't take it personally or as a reflection on yourself. Good luck!!
## 275 say \034what, are you afraid of a little cold??\035\n\nboston has great transit too!
## 276 That\031s a bit of a hot button issue in Boston at the moment. The T is kinda sorta imploding. They\031ve brought on some new people and fired some of the people who were stealing from it, but it\031s gunna be a bit til the T is trusted again around here
## 277 yeah. i know about the t meltdown. visited a week before the OL shutdown. still better than most of america
## 278 You could always get a bike, or a BlueBikes subscription, and start biking in the winter. I didn't stop all winter (Boston metro also).
## 279 If you live locally just show him beacon st in Cambridge on a winter morning. Tons of us are out there getting to work like always
## 280 Look up the video from ~6 years ago of bike commuters digging tunnels in the snow in Boston!
## 281 Not sure how big the temp difference between Boston and us down here in Providence, but winters have only gotten warmer and far less snow than in the past(usually). He's a big boy, I'm sure he could handle the 20's.
## 282 Let him watch the video about why they're not raising kids in suburbia
## 283 At that point there is nothing you can do. You will never change the opinion of someone who doesn't want to be convinced.
## 284 Mmm somewhat disagree on this one. It's not so much that people like this don't want to be convinced, it's that it's an emotional position. "You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into" is an ever increasingly relevant adage these days.\n\nWhich is to say that if you're looking to "convince" someone of an illogical position they arrived at emotionally, you'll basically need to make it so they have a similar emotional reaction in the opposite direction. It's an extremely difficult task, so the conclusion is the same with regard to giving up on trying to convince them.
## 285 =F this person rhetorics. admittedly it's non-traditional and borderline manipulative, but you're pretty spot on in how to approach these sorts of irrational attitudes. when logos fails, appeal to pathos.
## 286 It's not difficult to convince drivers cars are bad when they see dumbasses driving like morons everyday. Use that
## 287 Where talking fails action often succeeds. It might not be practical now, but often when someone is convinced that living a certain way is impossible, seeing someone close to them doing it and not having any problems can gradually shift their perspective.
## 288 You are 13, don't be surprised if your parents won't listen to you. Be patient with them
## 289 Just requesting you make a "walkability for dummies" that is basically a TLDR video that advocates can take to their local city councils in one succinct video.
## 290 It's a nice idea, but I don't think I'll be making this video. This though, is something that really bothers me:\n\n> a TLDR video that advocates can take to their local city councils in one succinct video.\n\nI hate this. I call this "lazy activism" and I *hate* the idea of my videos being used this way.\n\nNaysayers are not won over by watching a YouTube video. You enjoy my content because you were already "primed" to understand it. Most people who like my content already have a "feeling" that things aren't right, and my videos help them understand why.\n\nActivism is local, and it needs to be done actively. You need local stories, local examples, and local action. There is nothing worse for local activism than sending some YouTube video by somebody who doesn't even live there, talking about a city the audience doesn't even care about.\n\nI make videos that show people what's possible. I want to show people the best examples I can find of great urbanism, and contrast those with some of the worst I've seen. My videos can make people decide to become activists, and that's great, but my videos are not activism.\n\nSome other content creators disagree with this. I think they're wrong, but if this is what you're looking for there are other creators out there making these kind of videos. I think it's a fool's errand, though.
## 291 Strong Towns does this part really well. They should be the model for local advocacy and appealing to non-city people
## 292 A good way to start getting to know the person use one of these five reasons for walkable places:\n\n>Selling Walkability as a community goal is not as hard as it used to be& [Yet] a central government investing in highways and subsidizing oil companies constitutes freedom, any local investment in sidewalks and bike lanes smacks of a communist takeover.\n>\n>The inevitability of some pushback, however ill-informed, means that walkability proponents need to be armed with the best arguments in its support. Five stand out: Economics, Health, Climate, Equity, and Community.\n\n\024[Jeff Speck, Walkable City Rules: 101 Steps to Making Better Places, Rules 1-5](https://islandpress.org/books/walkable-city-rules)\n\nOne of these five will likely resonate with people. Some people respond better to talking about Economics and "Climate" i.e. going against nature which is a good way to convince even the most staunch detractors. Also, when you talk about these things use words like villegy, Main Street, downtown, small-town vibe, etc. instead of catch phrases like "15-minute cities." The former is actually how Paris sold the concept of the latter, but the latter gets people thinking and looking into the former.
## 293 Good idea! I'd love something like that, perhaps not as a thing to present to a council necessarily but as a way to start learning about the pros and cons of different systems.
## 294 Yeah I like this. And maybe with some rebuttals to common arguments against walkability. I'm not quick on my feet during conversation and don't have answers ready all the time so then I look like a big dummy and then avoid these topics altogether.
## 295 Do you have plans on talking more about Asian cities or just cities on continent other than NA and Europe, where developed countries were able to build/shifting cities to be car independent? Or on the other hand where developing countries appear to be failing and examine reasons why they're moving more towards car dependency? \n\nThanks for the great work you're doing!
## 296 My channel is really mostly about Europe, so I'm going to continue talking about European cities for the foreseeable future. I do link often to other creators on my YouTube Community Page though, so be sure to check that every so often, as the YouTube algorithm is pretty bad at showing people community posts.\n\nMy channel is also based on my personal experiences; I am not a "Wikipedia" channel that makes videos based off of only online research. I also go to places and film most of my content myself, and I like it that way, so I'm limited by my ability to travel.\n\nThat being said, I used to live in Taiwan, and I have spent a lot of my life in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and South Korea, so I do plan to visit and make videos about these channels in the future. I don't plan on making very many videos about developing nations; those topics will have to be left to other YouTubers.
## 297 Thanks for the reply! I'll definitely look more into those links on the community page. And I'll look forward to those videos on the Asian countries! Hopefully the Patreon stuff will get bigger and bigger to fund those!
## 298 Not Asia, but Adam Something made a video about Egypt's crazy new capital and how dumb it is from an urban planning perspective. I have the feeling that countries like Egypt but also petrol heads like UAE are very car centric, more content on such countries and generally would be very interesting indeed. Developing countries are such an interesting case as they often make decisions now for their build-up that decide whether they become more or less car centric for decades, while developed countries are already at the stage of re-evaluating and partly reorganizing the way they structure their cities. \n\nWould be really interesting to see a broader series tackle developing countries, I agree. I guess it just takes a lot of time and resources to do that. Perhaps there's also other channels already going into more depth with that? Perhaps not internationally focused but with one of such countries. If anyone knows, feel free to share!
## 299 Indeed, ther was a very good paper that came from a shanghai institute that said that Chinese cities were very large efficient due to being polycentric in what jobs are concerned\n\nJapan has almost 0 street parking\n\nAlso, why does he never talk either to improve or to use as example Latin America, India, etc? \n\nMy biggest complain about his channel is how extremely western it is... It's definitely a very big problem of his\n\n\nThe world outside of Europe, NA and aus/nz exists...
## 300 Most of his videos are based on first hand experience and many of the accompanied video footage is produced by him. He has lived and regularly visits NA and Europe.\n\nSo either he would have to change his style or purposefully travel somewhere far away to make videos about other locations.
## 301 But he lives in the Netherlands and is from Ontario, Canada. His channel is really meant to be a comparison of those two places. It's also expensive to travel...
## 302 He is warmly welcome to come go Hong Kong and take a look at our transportation infrastructure. It is interesting because public transit is fantastic, but cars are still favored over pedestrians. And bicycles are not even spoken of.
## 303 What do you rank as the first and most urgent change that North America cities can make to become pedestrian friendly.
## 304 Well that's a very open-ended question, and since I'm not an advocate, I am absolutely the wrong person to ask.\n\nBut fundamentally, the best cities I've been to do two things: slow the cars, and restrict where cars can go. All cities should lower speed limits, and install modal filters to keep car traffic to local traffic only in most of the city.
## 305 In the past couple years, my city has been reducing the speed limit on many main arterial surface streets. The result is some drivers going the new speed limit, and some continuing at or above the old limit, whatever just "feels" right. So we've ended up with a greater difference between the slowest cars and the fastest cars, which to me feels more dangerous than everyone just going the old faster speed limit.\n\nThe signs may say one thing, by ultimately, many drivers are just going to go as fast as they feel they safely can, and that comes down to the design of the street. Speed bumps could be added, but many people will go entirely too fast between them before braking to actually go over the bump. Curving roads help reduce traffic speed, but it's difficult and expensive to reroute an existing road.\n\nSo my question for you is this: how do those best cities you've been to actually accomplish slowing down traffic? Is it simply a matter of more strictly enforcing lowered speed limits? Or do you see differences in the way roads are designed that actually necessitate slower driving? If the latter, how can more car-centric societies most easily implement similar designs into already existing infrastructure?
## 306 He\031s covered this in videos already but the concept you\031re referring to is called traffic calming. Strong Towns covers this as well. Just making roads seem *visually* more narrow has an affect on the speeds people feel comfortable driving at. That could mean lots of street trees, more narrow lane markings or even better, physically narrowing the driving space somehow. Even if rerouting roads isn\031t feasible, most roads in North America are comically wide so there\031s plenty of space to reconfigure them for lower speeds, you just have to be willing to sacrifice capacity. Perhaps that\031s a tall order on arterials, but we can do far better on small side streets in most cities. \n\nAlso, automated enforcement exists and is proven to be effective.
## 307 Are there videos/articles/resources you\031d suggest people interested in this question should check out?
## 308 He generally recommends Strong Towns. This is a great video from them to help get you started: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP5UCwMTjFk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP5UCwMTjFk)
## 309 From the perspective of a native Dutchman, it's insane to me how little you have to do to get a drivers license in the US. I think making sure that people can actually drive in a safe manner before allowing them to pilot their death machines would help a lot.
## 310 And you're not required to retest. Elderly people routinely get in a car, fail to make a decision they could have made even one year prior to apply pressure to the correct pedal to stop, then leave their foot on the gas as they accelerate not realizing it's their fault. They destroy businesses and kill people, are routinely not charged for the crime, and are routinely allowed to continue driving.\n\nMy uncle is in his 80s. He drives. I might not like all of his choices, but he lives in an area where if you fuck up on the road you fall off a mountain. He hasn't managed that yet. I want to support seniors driving if they're able to do so safely, but we need to acknowledge that age impairs driving and find a way to get ahead of this part of it too.\n\nLots of businesses known to attract seniors have bollards between the parking area and the storefront for this reason.
## 311 Tbf, our driving tests are strict af, but we don't make seniors redo their tests.
## 312 It will be easier to put restrictions/more training in place once there are widely available alternatives to driving. As it is now, trying to make it harder would result in far more screeching and crying about fascism/communism than my ears can take.
## 313 It's bad in Canada too. Even with graduated licesning. When I got my G1 in Ontario, I was able to squint enough through the vision test and they cleared me to drive without my glasses. When I objected to that, their reasoning was in case I forget them. As if I wouldn't go back inside and get them.
## 314 I totally agree but it's also a reality of how necessary it is for people to drive for daily function in much of the country. In many places, including many cities, taking away someone's license means preventing them from getting to work and the grocery store.\n\nThere has been an uptick in pedestrian fatalities in some cities in recent years, and I genuinely wonder if it has something to do with aging Boomers continuing to drive since they're such a massive age cohort and many are now in their 70s. Edit: missing word
## 315 I don't want to say it'll never happen but with an aging population it's going to get worse before it gets better.
## 316 While this is true, I think it's also an argument for implementing it as soon as possible.
## 317 Probably remove parking requirements for new businesses
## 318 Thankfully cities are starting to do this
## 319 Also, remove lot setback rules. Buildings that are far apart aren\031t as walkable.
## 320 Gotta be getting rid of right turn on red so dangerous.
## 321 I disagree, because Japan has left turns on red and that didn't impede walkability in Tokyo.\n\nI think the first steps are to limit vehicle sizes by heavily imposing annual taxes on owners of vehicles above a certain size (excepting a limited number of cars per business owners, handicapped people, families with more than 2 kids) regardless of vehicle size classifications. People that own more than one car (with exceptions) need to be heavily taxed too. \n\nThen, the production of cars above a certain size per seat (with few exceptions) should be made illegal. In addition, a certain percentage of cars sold from automotive companies must be from vehicles of smaller sizes. This will force them to produce small cars, which if few people want to buy, will result in lots of small cheaper cars flooding the market. We need to put the onus of fixing decades of carbrain fuckups on the automotive industry.\n\nThen, we need to increase toll fees on single occupancy vehicles and fine more lanes to encourage carpooling. The freed up lanes can be used for public transit expansion.\n\nLastly, urban planning needs to be overseen at larger district levels to stop local governments from sandbagging with shitty zoning laws.\n\nAnd this is just the beginning.
## 322 It's interesting that you immediately start looking for exceptions to this. \n\nWhy should a family with more than two children be exempt? They are still causing the same issues and you can easily fit three kids in the back seat of a car.\n\nSame for businesses, why should they be exempt? If your business requires a large van then you should be charged for that and in turn pass that on to your customer. Yes some services will get more expensive but that is the whole point isn't it? It might actually result in more creative solutions.
## 323 Because you need to be realistic about passing policies that people won't flip their shit over. Because you don't want to penalize people with legitimate uses of large vehicles like plumbers, electricians, and other utility service people who use vans instead of emotional support vehicles. Because in a walkable city, consumer goods still need to be delivered by truck to frequently restock smaller format stores. Because handicapped people exist. Because some people will pump out enough kids to fill a day care and you don't want them cooped up, homeschooled, and turn into breeders themselves.\n\nLarge vehicles have a legitimate place in society, just in the wrong type, wrong amounts, and wrong people right now. When used correctly, large vehicles can increase walkability by delivering goods to places that need it at higher intervals. I grew up in Hong Kong, which is about as walkable as it gets and live in a suburban American car hole right now. You absolute still see large vehicles like trucks and vans in Hong Kong. The only difference is that regular people don't drive it, and you get the luxury of having a grocery store a few minutes walking distance from your apartment.\n\nThese exceptions aren't there because it will make the city more walkable. They are there so that we can realistically pass laws towards diminishing car centric infrastructure.\n\nPeople who go around and scream ban cars aren't asking for meaningful change that's going to happen. You can't magically make a city walkable overnight. Unwalkable spaces aren't made in 1 night, and they will not be undone in 1 night either. Don't penalize people who need large vehicles, fine those who don't.\n\nEdit: Looks like people are confused by what 'left turn on red means'. See a comment I posted below:\n\n>Two things: \n> \n>First, it is legal to make a left turn if it is accompanied by a road sign that allows it or if a red light is accompanied by a blue arrow. \n> \n>Second, if you spend more than a few hours in Tokyo you'll find that many drivers will make a left turn at red regardless of traffic laws. This is seldom enforced, and drivers will still do it even on busy intersections. However, you'll find that even among drivers who do this, they give far more priority to pedestrians than somewhere like the US. Drivers who turn on red there generally do so if the pedestrian light is red too.
## 324 Back in the late 80s early 90s, my parents, drove me and my 2 other siblings around in a Hyundai Pony. When they had another kid in 1992, they got a station wagon.
## 325 American cars got so big because of the exemption on gas consumptions the government gave to trucks. So yes on no exemptions.
## 326 > Japan has left turns on red\n\nwhat? I'm pretty sure the drivers manual says no turns on red in any direction unless you're _already_ in the process of making a turn or if there are specific markers saying you're allowed to do to. In general it's unlawful to turn on red.
## 327 This is wrong, partially. You can only turn left on red if a sign specifically indicates you can. If you've seen differently on the ground I'd be keen to know, as I've never visited.\n\nSources for general no left on red: \n["No turning is allowed at red lights"](https://rent.toyota.co.jp/global_eng/drive/rules.html)\n\n["When the traffic light turns red, not only cars going straight but also left-turning cars have to stop."](https://www.visit-hokkaido.org/abouthokkaido/basicinformation/pdf/driving_en.pdf)\n\nSources for left on red sign:\n\n["if there is a rectangular blue sign with a white arrow pointing left, a left turn is okay, regardless of what the traffic light says."](https://japantravel.navitime.com/en/area/jp/guide/NTJnews0429-en/)\n\n["LEFT TURN OK", where left turns on red allowed in Japan. Without this sign, left turns on red are prohibited in Japan. (But one can turn left on separated way for left turn without signal.) In either case ,one yield to crossing traffic."](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Left_turn_ok_in_Japan.png)

## 330 I agree I\031m in Tokyo rn lol. Maybe more driver schooling then for drivers to respect the pedestrians on the corner. Not that I think some more drivers training would actually work. I think just speed bumps would work.
## 331 Stop all road expansion projects and put in a tram in instead?
## 332 How do you argue with the people believe the 15 minute city stuff is a conspiracy theory?
## 333 In many cases, you can't. You can't logic people out of a position they didn't logic themselves into. If they were stupid enough to fall for those very obviously transparent lies, then they're very far down the rabbit hole already.\n\nBut keep in mind, this "conspiracy" was started by climate change denialism groups; it has nothing to do with urban planning.\n\nRead this article: [https://www.desmog.com/2023/02/16/revealed-the-science-denial-network-behind-oxfords-climate-lockdown-backlash/](https://www.desmog.com/2023/02/16/revealed-the-science-denial-network-behind-oxfords-climate-lockdown-backlash/)\n\nI also talked about this on my podcast: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31vXFYc7xaM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31vXFYc7xaM)
## 334 A person in my city was hit by a car while biking. It paralyzed him and now he has to get around in a wheelchair. My city forces his wheelchair through a lane of traffic just to drive up to the bus stop. Thank you for advocating for shared access.
## 335 That's awful. I hate it when people use "disabled people" as an excuse for bad urbanism. I get contacted regularly by people who have a physically disability and they tell me 1) they can't drive and 2) they would much rather be able to easily walk or roll somewhere nearby than to get other people to shuttle them around like children. :/
## 336 I know there are car-brained people everywhere, even in the Netherlands. What, if any, similarities are there between car-centric views in the US vs. the Netherlands?
## 337 Dutchman here. I think more pervasive car-centric views here are the ol' "right to parking" and the right to be able to go into city centers. Both are increasingly challenged thankfully. The huge amounts we spend on car infra is also seen as normal by many carbrained people, even if it means cutting down parts of a forest near my hometown Utrecht. However, nobody has issues with bike infra because all drivers are (or were) cyclists and separated lanes means no pesky cyclists to deal with on the road.
## 338 Also, a some Dutch people never return to riding a bike after they had their first taste of driving a car. I call it laziness, but they call it 'freedom' as in they are able to go anywhere they want. These are the same folks that say public transport isn't worth it or isn't reliable as it doesn't get you door to door and breaks down often. They praise cars despite just their fuel and maintenance being 4 to 10 times more expensive than public transport. These are also the same folks that scream for more lanes
## 339 Well, I don't think that many of them are wrong when they say that public transport isn't reliable. In my opinion , public transport outside Randstad (especially in rural areas) is really fucking bad.\n\nIn many towns, there is no public transportation in the evening. Accompanied with recent strikes and transportation breakdowns, I can see why people ( including me) are frustrated with this system. \n\nI am a strong advocate for public transport but it seems more and more that my hand is being forced to start driving.
## 340 I mean lack of OV isn't their main concern. It's more along the lines of "oh the trains break down every other day etc". I have had to take one of the longest connections each week (Vlissingen - Den Helder) for about 3 years now, and there were only 2 times in those 3 years in which I could not use the train. Delays are another story, but at least I got home without major trouble 99% of the time\n\nAs for people outside the reach of railroads: it just sucks. Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, for example, is a literal nightmare to get to with public transport
## 341 As someone in Randstad the public transport is bad, its just that in more and more rural areas people have shut up about that because... it is nonexistant. Their complaint is there is now 0 buslines left and derelict busstations are laying around as a big middle finger. Its not that bad yet everywhere but it is very clear nobody is taking efforts to make things better outside city centers.\n\nI still don't go anywhere by car and I consider it a luxury, its just a coincidence that *boat* infrastructure of all things is giving me a high quality bike highway with very little car crossings.
## 342 It's really night and day. There are obviously people here who love their cars, but somewhere around 80% of the population rides a bicycle, and most people live in a town or city with some kind of autoluw shopping street or town centre, so it doesn't manifest itself in a burning hatred of people who walk and cycle.\n\nI usually see it manifest in complaints about parking or general anti-green sentiment.
## 343 Jason isn't American, so I don't know if he would have the best answer. Society is similar in Canada, but different.
## 344 I've lived in both countries, and I can honestly say that Canadian society is 98% the same as the USA, especially with regard to urban design. I think this is why NJB rings so true in the USA, despite Jason not being American.
## 345 I actually think Canada has a different mindset than america.\n\nAt least in my experience, transit in Canada is much more popular, and used. Transit expansions tend to face significantly less opposition than they do in the US (with the limiting factor usually being a lack of money, rather than public support), same with densification, and Canada didn\031t destroy its larger downtowns in the same way america did.
## 346 As with all things, Canada is the middle ground between US and Europe. \n\nAnd as with all things, the "middle" ground in this case is like 80% US, 20% Europe.\n\nFrom the perspective of an American we seem very European in comparison, just because the differences are the things that are noticable. But to a European, US and Canada are almost identical.
## 347 The full spectrum path: US-Canada-UK-Europe
## 348 Another difference is that polls repeatedly show Canadians are much more likely than Americans to believe that climate change is real, human caused, and a current emergency that is harming Canada. While that doesn't always translate well to behaviour, it does mean that it's a bit less divisive for cities to invest in things like public transit and active transit as part of green action plans.
## 349 I believe he\031s mentioned briefly living in the US in the past in a video
## 350 Not that different infrastructure wise imho, I\031m on the west cost and cars are king
## 351 We\031re trying to change that, but it\031s a long and painful process to un-couple car dependency from our socioeconomic geography. I know in my city, we are just getting out first BRT line in a few days, and the city is building a pretty impressive protected bike lane network&the city also just approved upzoning all single family lots in the entire city to allow for 6plexes or townhomes. It\031ll take a few decades for things to really get moving, though.
## 352 For context: I have lived in North America, the Netherlands and now live in Germany. \n\nI would like to hear your thoughts on this - (In urbanist circles and esp. reddit), I think NL gets a bit too much praise and DE gets a bit too much hate. \n\nMy car-free life has been significantly better in Berlin than when I lived in Amsterdam since the public transit here with the extensive U-bahn/S-bahn plus bus and tram system is so much better than Amsterdam's. Yes, Netherlands is leagues ahead in terms of bicycle infrastructures and I wish DE would learn from it and make the cities here more bike-friendly, but after-all, it's not just (about) bikes. I think Amsterdam and Rotterdam/Den Haag would do well with expanding their metros and smaller Dutch cities could take inspiration from German cities like Freiburg or Potsdam for a tram system.
## 353 I don't think that Germany gets too much hate; Berlin is really an outlier in Germany, and a lot of the country is quite car-centric.\n\nThat being said, I agree that public transit is not always up to Western European standards in Dutch cities. The intercity (train) service in the Netherlands is quite good, but public transit in Amsterdam is not as good as it should be. \n\nI think a big part of the reason for this though is that cycling is *so* good here. So public transit needs to compete with the most efficient form of urban transportation possible: the bicycle. Plus Dutch people are famously cheap and will gladly take a bike over paying for OV. :)
## 354 Thanks for the reply!\n\n> Plus Dutch people are famously cheap and will gladly take a bike over paying for OV. :)\n\nOhh yeh I definitely remember the *zuinig* culture :)
## 355 Trains in the Netherlands are mainly just too expensive, because even they have the fallacy that trains need to be profitable somehow.
## 356 You have to remember that Amsterdam is a lot smaller than Berlin, so the need for an expansive metro system just doesn't exist in the same way it does in Berlin, that way trams and bikes are a lot more efficient use of the limited space in Amsterdam, and you simply don't have to travel as far to get to different places. Amsterdam is far more walkable than Berlin in my experience for this reason. Berlin is still easier to get around than London though so it's all relative.
## 357 I\031m Brazilian and I\031d love to see a video about cities in the \034third world\035. We have huge cities where most people don\031t own a car and a public transport system with good and bad characteristics. \n\nHow much do you know and how do you feel about it?
## 358 I do not really plan to make videos about developing countries. My channel is about my personal experiences, and most of those experiences are in North America, Europe, and the Far-East. Ultimately my channel is really about why European cities are better.\n\nBut fundamentally, I do not want to have a "Wikipedia" channel where I make videos based only off of what I read online. I want to go to the places I talk about, experience them for myself, film most of my own content, and share unique experiences. \n\nI have been to many developing countries as a tourist, and they've been wonderful, but I've also had some very scary experiences too, so the idea of walking around a developing nation with ¬5000 in camera gear is not really one I'm interested in doing.\n\nI think I'll leave the videos about developing countries to people who live in developing countries; it's just not what my channel is about.
## 359 What are your aspirations for "The Urbanist Agenda" podcast?
## 360 I don't think I have any "aspirations," to be honest. My videos take a long time, and all the "easy" subjects have been done. The podcast is a creative outlet for myself and other creators to talk about issues we're thinking about, without the high overhead of writing, filming, editing, and producing a video.
## 361 One of the most common reasons people do not take public transportation is that they do not think it is safe. Of course, driving a car is, obviously, less safe. There is plenty of data, and common sense, to back that up. How can we combat this misinformation?
## 362 Unfortunately, the idea of public transit as a safe option has been severely eroded in several Canadian cities in recent months - Toronto has had multiple random attacks, some fatal, on the Subway and Streetcar network, and Vancouver has also had a streak of violent attacks (not sure if any fatal). For public spaces to be safe, there need to be more supports for mental health, homelessness, and law enforcement for those who perpetrate violence.
## 363 I dunno. I mean, you obviously need all of those things, they're important. But I live in the UK, a country with terrifying homelessness figures and effectively no mental healthcare, and we don't have violent attacks on public transport. I'm not sure what makes the difference.
## 364 Probably not the only factor but I'm pretty sure all our trains have CCTV whereas in America they don't.
## 365 Huh, that's interesting. I tend to assume that North America has cameras everywhere, maybe I'm wrong about that.
## 366 How many people were injured or killed in traffic in the same period?
## 367 I would guess that there were more killed in traffic accidents, yes, but unfortunately the perception (and corresponding ridership) on public transportation is much more easily eroded by a few violent attacks. Whether or not it\031s factual, people *feel* like they\031re more in control in their own vehicle than when they\031re sitting in a public compartment and are worried they\031ll be attacked. Just to be clear, I am a huge public transit advocate, but you need to have a sense of safety to get people to use it.
## 368 The threat of violence with regards to the homeless is really the other way around. The homeless are the target of more hate crimes than all other groups combined.
## 369 train initiatives. for some reason, it seems like most folks think of busses as being inherently less sanitary than trains, at least the folks who are uncomfortable taking public transit. other than making building more new and more accessible train lines, maybe marketing campaigns comparing the cost of transit per person vs cost of driving, including relevant statistics on safety and expected lifetime of folks without regularly access to a vehicle.\n\nwhere I live is the first in my life with an effective train system, and it's pretty much used constantly, as long as it's running. I think the spread-out nature of our geography makes public trains outside of top major metros a bit unreasonable, but it seems like I'm not alone in having only recently experienced efficient public transit, and even then, I know I'm blessed to have chosen working in this area intentionally.\n\nwhere I grew up had absolutely shit pubtrans. in fact, when I was like 11, a local university had secured public funding for a maglev rail system that was supposed to route through the entire seven city-metropolis. afaik it was never built, and this was twenty years ago.
## 370 Your guess is as good as mine. In my experience, people are *never* won over by data; they're won over by experience. That's why my channel focuses so much on experience.
## 371 I disagree with the premise. The most common reason is that it's inconvenient.\n\nI'm in the Boston are and I live *on* a train line. My wife and I are going into the city today and we had a whole conversation supported by Google maps routing, about if we're going to take the train or drive. Driving is way faster, especially on the weekends, and especially especially when they're don't track work and replacing train service with a bus.\n\nWe'll probably end up taking the train today but not because it's more convenient. In fact we'll probably complain about it the whole way in.
## 372 Gonna try and boost this comment as it seems like a very important question.
## 373 Honestly safety can sometimes be a valid concern. I've been to NYC, DC, and Chicago, and felt fairly safe on their subways, but then I went to San Francisco and the BART was by far the sketchiest subway I've ever been on. Probably says more about how poorly its run than anything else, its stupidly packed in rush hour and expensive, cost over $10 to get to SF airport from Oakland center.
## 374 IIRC He made a video before where he said the if the rich take public transportation then they\031d be a lot nicer and taken care.
## 375 Have you been bullied or pressured into taking down your videos by wealthy car focused interest groups during your career?
## 376 It depends what you mean. I have had death threats and far-right nutjobs trying to doxx me and/or slander me online. I'm not sure that these are "interest groups" though; mostly reactionaries who don't like the status quo being challenged and/or people who made "cars" their identity and feel threatened.
## 377 Do you ever look back on how baldy you were car-brained? I sometimes get flashes of being stuck in traffic and wondering why they don\031t build more lanes, or getting impatient and annoyed with cyclists.
## 378 Sometimes, yeah, and that's really why the channel was started. I know that there are millions of people out there who grew up in car-dependent suburbia and have never known anything better.\n\nThat being said, I was lucky enough to live in downtown Toronto after university, and I was too poor to afford a car for many years, so I never got *that* car-brained (in my adult life, anyway).
## 379 yea I'm glad I discovered your stuff and this whole thing in general as a teenager so I could recognize the errors in car dependency and learn about walkable cities earlier in life :)
## 380 Have you been to Asia? If so what are some of your thoughts on Asia on the walkability and ease of getting around, compared to Europe?
## 381 I used to live in Taiwan and I spent much of my adult life travelling to Asia.\n\nAsia is a mixed bag, but in general, walkability and public transit is valued there, and it's nice. Places like Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore are often easier to get around than typical European countries, but other Asians countries are worse.
## 382 How does it feel to know that if the Dutch government ever wanted to make propaganda convincing people to move there, you would be first on the list to hire?
## 383 Does the Netherlands even need propaganda do get people to move there? Hell, I\031ll only been once and want to move there. \n\nThough my fellow countrymen decided to make that quite a bit harder a few years ago& *grumble*
## 384 Don't even need to ask where you're from lol... I'm basically in the exact same situation as you. TBH tho London (where I live) is pretty good just very expensive and not as good as Amsterdam (at least from a biking perspective - public transport here is better than in Amsterdam and walkability is probably only a bit behind Amsterdam).
## 385 lol. I really should be getting some commission from the tourism board, eh?
## 386 Can you make a video about how you get around in the rain and other unfriendly weather events to walkers and bikers.
## 387 He\031s had many videos covering this or with footage of cyclists in the rain; in short basically the same way you prepare yourself for walking in the rain
## 388 just make sure you have fenders/splashguards lol.
## 389 No. I really don't see the entertainment value of making a video telling people to wear proper clothes.\n\nThis is a weird thing that Americans seem to be obsessed with; in most other countries, people just ... go outside.
## 390 I think there is also a greater tolerance for...."well I won't go shopping right now, because it's raining"...Some North Americans seem to feel this is a major failure.
## 391 I heard there\031s a Dutch saying, \034you\031re not made out of sugar.\035 Haha.\n\nI always say there\031s no such thing as bad weather, just wrong clothes :)
## 392 That's a German saying too! That and "There is no bad weather only bad clothes".
## 393 lord if we had that saying here in the states, I maybe would have come to enjoy winter before I was like 25 lol.
## 394 That saying is pretty common in Scotland, along with "skin's waterproof"
## 395 I've literally said this to my husband so many times. We'd met a friend in an inner city neighbourhood and then biked over to his place after. You could see rain clouds above. We got caught in a summer storm (it was warm out) and were not dressed for rain at all so we got soaked. I felt like a little kid honestly and was mostly laughing the whole way. He turned to me and said, I'm definitely made of sugar cuz I'm so sweet - I'm melting. Ultimately, we both laughed about the predicament, hung our wet clothes up in the bathroom to dry, and continued on with the rest of our evening.
## 396 Rain jacket and pants.
## 397 I'd be much more interested in how to do this in a hot desert city at noon in the middle of summer. Not sure clothing could help much there, but good shade from trees along the bike paths would help a lot.
## 398 Don't? It's not complicated, ask the Spanish what they're doing at 2 PM on a hot summer day? They're not running errands.\n\nNorth Americans have a belief that we are entitled to not consider the weather when we plan our activities, but why would we go shopping at the peak heat of the day. It's reasonable to defer and arrange time flexible trips around things like weather.
## 399 Take a look at what people in other hot desert cities do. Typically, they don't try to do anything at noon, because it's too hot and only an idiot would be outside.
## 400 What do think are the best next steps for fixing North American suburbs. Huge fan btw!
## 401 Most of North America is overbuilt and the suburbs should be used until the end of their lifetime and then turned back into farmland. Seriously, most of suburbia is not worth fixing:\n\n[https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2021/12/2/how-do-you-actually-fix-a-stroad](https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2021/12/2/how-do-you-actually-fix-a-stroad)\n\nFocus on historical walkable areas that are still around and go out from there.
## 402 No question, just a *thank you.* Big fan of the channel.
## 403 So many thanks. It changed my life. I always felt off about cars, but Jason's videos brought clarity and shaped my understanding of the issues they pose. I'm 17 right now and feel like the path of my life has drastically shifted positively because of the channel. I used to change my mind all the time about what i wanted to be, but now i have a purpose. Next year I'm going an elite university and hope to make connections that will allow me to make a difference. Additionally, I would have never been able to get in without this mission that i was able to present them. There is so much more I could say, but I'll leave it at that. I love this channel.
## 404 Me too, he actually inspired me to go back to school for my masters in Urban Planning at U of Chicago. I've also been involved with local efforts to re-define zoning laws to allow for mixed used walkable neighborhoods. I've been obsessed with proper urban design ever since I found his channel and finally found what I want to do with my life.
## 405 Omfg thank you so much\n-urbanist Chicago redditor who\031d desire a bit more walkability outside of their streetcar suburb
## 406 Damn, that's amazing. I'm so glad that I've been able to help you make such a positive in your life. Your plan sounds great! I hope you're able to make it happen!
## 407 Go study in Europe. You can actually see what you are studying in practice and it's probably cheaper too
## 408 I got great financial aid at my university that will actually allow me to spend a whole year in Switzerland. Probably 3rd year.
## 409 Same for me, but twice your age. Glad you found the light early on!
## 410 > I want to have the option **to not to have to drive**\n\nThis quote. The _delivery_ of this quote.\n\nI was a bit on the fence about this whole carfree lifestyle untill I reached this quote in the video about business parks. This quote pushed me quite firmly over the fence, and I now could not agree more with basically every video you put out.\n\nI am now retrospectively proud of everything that the green party in my home city, Oslo, has done since they managed to leverage their minority to push through the idea of walkable and cyclable cities. \n\nKnow that your content massively changes opinions. I would never have gotten to what I believe today without your videos.
## 411 100 percent. No one else perfectly illustrates why the car centric area I lived in sucked and how to live in an actually decent place
## 412 Thanks so much. And thank *you* for watching it! :)
## 413 You beat me to it, absolutely seconded.
## 414 Thirded!
## 415 Yep changed my life honestly. I mean only insomuch as I know am trying to live car free, but that\031s a huge change. Not gonna buy a house in the burbs now unless it\031s walkable. I was gonna go down that road at some point
## 416 Same here. I was already a cyclist and fan of public transit but YouTube started recommending urbanism videos, NJB in particular, and it really gave me words for the feelings I had about cities and our future.
## 417 Prior to creating your YouTube channel in 2019. What made you realize something was terribly wrong with North America\031s infrastructure?
## 418 [deleted]
## 419 ahhh, I'd heard the story but didn't know it wasn't from just any random redditor lol. thanks for pointing that out.
## 420 Yeah, it's mostly the Houston video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxykI30fS54](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxykI30fS54)\n\nIt was from lots and lots of business travel and some very bad experiences in the US.
## 421 Probably living in North America if I were to guess. lol
## 422 I live in fake London and what he says is spot on. And the part of the subdivision I live in is fairly close to stores and the mall on foot.
## 423 Are you and Climate Town part of a secret cabal? If so, how does one join?
## 424 Yeah we're in a cabal called "YouTubers". You just need to upload a video to [YouTube.com](https://YouTube.com), but I'll warn you, there are a lot of nutters on there.
## 425 Are there any organizations along the likes of Strong Towns or Urban3 who have inspired you who are lesser known? And/or are worth getting involved with?
## 426 The most important organization is your local advocacy group. For Toronto, that would be Cycle Toronto and Friend and Families for Safe Streets. Advocacy is local, so find your local group.
## 427 The American Conservative and The Sightline Institute have some pretty good articles on land use policy.
## 428 what are your favourite cities in ontario
## 429 I don't have favourite cities in Ontario, but I think K/W and Guelph show the most promise.
## 430 I live in Guelph and from what I seen, I completely agree. Kitchener is definitely doing some great work and making big changes really quick. Guelph is great too but the changes arent happening as fast as I would like the see
## 431 Thank you! Love you! My gf and I now use the term 'stroads' routinely, haha.
## 432 Good to hear! If there's only one thing I accomplish in life, I want it to be that everyone in the world knows what a "stroad" is. :)
## 433 How do you feel the approach should be regarding countries, such as Brazil, that don't have an established suburban culture but cars are still the primary means of transportation?
## 434 Lower speed limits and modal filters to cut off through traffic.
## 435 I live in Houston. What can I do?
## 436 I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you need to leave. And urban planning doesn't even crack the top 10 reasons why.
## 437 You\031re fucked! -Native Houstonian.
## 438 I love the channel, I've thought about moving to Amsterdam (from the US) and have been taking Dutch for about a year. Do you speak Dutch? and how important is being fluent in Dutch to living there? Was moving there a difficult transition?
## 439 I do speak Dutch; it's quite an easy language to learn.\n\nIf you move to a big city and work at an international company you can get by with English, but you should learn Dutch as soon as possible so that you can make local friends and properly integrate.
## 440 How do you feel about cities and infrastructure outside of North America and the Netherlands? Like Latin America, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Asia outside of China, South Korea, and Japan?\n\nI was wondering since I watched your videos. >\024\n\nAlso, you have a case of *I made a joke, please laugh*, and do you secretly love Dutch culture?
## 441 Ultimately, car infrastructure is horrendously expensive, so the less of it these countries have the better off they'll be. The biggest problem is that the car drivers are usually the wealthiest people with the most political influence.\n\nAnd I love Dutch culture. I prefer it to other countries I've lived in (especially Belgium).
## 442 what\031s the easiest way to relocate to Europe for an American
## 443 As the other comment said, it really depends on a variety of factors.\n\nThe German government is currently working on loosening visa regulations/restrictions and making it easier for qualified foreigners to resettle to Germany and get a job - particularly in a sector, where there is a shortage of workers.\n\nI'm not too informed on the matter, but as far as I know, it's already relatively easier to get your work experience and education recognized if you work in IT and as I understand it, there is going to be a point-based system, which prioritizes certain groups of people, meaning that you have particularly good chances if you are - among other things - young, well-educated, have work experience, know some German, etc. Also, qualified people working in non-academic jobs and nurses, as well as doctors and the like seem to always be needed
## 444 If you are in tech and have significant amount of experience, more is better but i would say at least 3-4 years is sufficient, both NL and DE are fairly easy. I have done it twice (NL first then DE). It was simply a matter of applying to companies on Linkedin (and Stackoverflow jobs, RIP), patiently waiting for companies that are willing to hire from abroad*, and then passing the interviews. The visas, including the blue card, are straight-forward after that.\n\nOnce you are in: you can apply for permanent residency in DE in as little as 21 months (with B1-level German and blue card visa) or 5 years in NL. Citizenship, if you are interested in that, conversely is shorter in NL (5 years on visa) vs. DE (6-8 years on visa).\n\nI think some other countries like Ireland and Sweden have similar pathways but these are the two that I have gone through myself and am most familiar with.\n\nEdit: Obligatory, local language is not essential for a tech job in either DE or NL, but you should make it a priority to learn anyways to make your life outside of work much-much easier/better. \n\n*abroad = non-EU in this case
## 445 Depends on the country, languages you speak, skillset, education, etc. but typically:\n\n* Digital nomad visa - These are new visas that allow you to move to various countries, but not work for companies **in** those countries. Expect to be taxed both in the country you're working "in" and the country your living in - if you work for a US company and do this, you get double taxed.\n* "Highly skilled" worker visa - Have a university degree (or in some cases, years of experience) in a marketable field. Find a company willing to sponsor you to move there.\n* "Low skilled" worker visa - Work in a select set of jobs that the government doesn't respect but needs. Expect to be treated like shit.\n* Entrepreneur visa - Be rich. Go over there and start a company with your riches that employees locals.\n* Golden visa - Be rich. Pay the government and/or buy a lot of stuff (think hundreds of thousands of euros) in order to live there.\n* Non-lucrative visa - Be rich (but like only so rich you don't need to work). Move over. You can't legally work.\n* Student visa - Be rich (enough to not work for X years that you're in university, and to likely pay "foreigner" rates - unless you speak czech and want to go to university there, where they'll pay you, probably some other examples of that).\n\nIf you get any of these visas and maintain them 5, 10, or 15 years, depending on the country and other factors, you may be able to apply for citizenship. The US recognizes dual citizenship, some countries in Europe do as well.
## 446 I avoid talking about this subject because 1) it varies *so* much on your personal situation and family history and 2) I don't want to become the Internet's immigration lawyer. :)\n\nI recommend you ask in /r/IWantOut
## 447 Honest question here. Is there anything reason you don't want to work on making the place you live better? What makes you want to move Europe specifically? There are many countries, all very different, so I'm super curious to get an understanding behind the motivation. \n\nFor context, I'm from Spain and absolutely my country has a ton of issues including major political corruption, a terrible job market, and a bunch of backwards laws, and this is why I believe it's so important for me to try my best to get involved and change things for the better. I don't want the next generation of people to hate living here and I don't want to be screwed when I reach the age of retirement.
## 448 The physical design of cities is something that's literally impossible to change quickly and has a profound effect on our lives. I'd rather live in a nice place than spend my time bashing my head against a wall trying to improve the place I already live in. Maybe if I'm super lucky, I can cause a change in the next 30-40 years, but then I won't have very many years left to experience the results of that change.
## 449 Because the US is devolving into fascism. Just this week a judge banned a medication used to expel tissue in a miscarriage. It goes into effect in 7 days. Without this medication, women having a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy will die. \n\nAt some point, even Jews in Germany had to flee Europe rather than stick around and try to change the government. The ones who left early ended up surviving.
## 450 > absolutely my country has a ton of issues including major political corruption, a terrible job market, and a bunch of backwards laws\n\nIncidentally, you\031ve hit upon one of the things that really irks me about NJB\031s channel: while I get that it\031s entirely transit-focused, the Netherlands isn\031t a utopia\024 no place is\024 yet he *never* has anything bad to say about it. Why\031s that? It\031s not all just sunshine and rainbows, incidentally two things that are never present in Amsterdam.

Taking the method of tokenizing the data at word-level before cleaning the data.
3.1 Redundant words
# Tokenization (word tokens)
words <- threads_2 %>%
unnest_tokens(output = word, input = text, token = "words")

coord_flip() +
labs(x = "words",
y = "counts",
title = "Unique wordcounts")## Selecting by n
3.2 Stop words
These words would add little to no contextual value to the sentiment analysis, so it’s good to visualize what is not needed.
# load list of stop words - from the tidytext package
data("stop_words")
# view random 50 words
print(stop_words$word[sample(1:nrow(stop_words), 50)])## [1] "nd" "gets" "couldn't" "under" "what"
## [6] "good" "what" "but" "high" "you"
## [11] "become" "former" "behind" "right" "full"
## [16] "though" "he's" "won't" "per" "other"

## [41] "looking" "end" "wanted" "they've" "have"
## [46] "que" "hence" "has" "few" "everyone"Removing the stop words from consideration. The word aggregate decreases significantly.

4 Compare word clouds
A comparison before removing the stop words and after removing the stop words.
4.1 Including stop words
In the uncleaned word cloud, “cars” and “walkable” seem to be equivalently represented even though they are opposites. By now, it’s beginning to look like cars are seen as a big obstruction to facilitating walkable cities, compared to other forms of transportation the data is not showing as much.
4.2 Cleaned words
The cleaned word cloud seems to feature more words that are opposite of what’s required for a walkable city, once again seeming to express wishfulness. The words like “cars”, “drive”, and “traffic” and “transit”, “suburbs” and “conservative” hint some bias to those non-walkable inclusive words - that bias may turn out to be negative.
5 Tri-gram analysis
For this study, I’m choosing the integer 3 for the n-gram data. This should be more informative than 2-gram, without increasing the scope too much.
5.1 Extract tri-grams from text data
Excluding the NA data, “in the US” is strongly represented here. This hints that many of the strong feelings about walkable cities may be coming from freshly charged topics in the United States, even though we have included global data. Possibly, many commenters are speaking about their experience as natives, extended residents, or short-term visitors in the United States. Additionally, these tri-grams are heavily represented by language that seems wishful in context, for example “i hate that”, “have to be”, “i want to”, “need a car”, “it would be”, and this hints that the sentiment analysis of walkability in the US may be on the unfavorable side once we process the data for that purpose.
#get ngrams. You may try playing around with the value of n, n=3 , n=4
words_ngram <- threads_2 %>%
mutate(text = str_replace_all(text, replace_reg, "")) %>%
select(text) %>%
unnest_tokens(output = paired_words,
input = text,
token = "ngrams",
n = 3)
#show ngrams with sorted values
words_ngram %>%
count(paired_words, sort = TRUE) %>%
head(20) %>%
knitr::kable()| paired_words | n |
|---|---|
| NA | 112 |
| in the us | 19 |
| live in a | 14 |
| a lot of | 12 |
| i live in | 11 |
| i don t | 10 |
| living in a | 9 |
| to live in | 9 |
| i feel like | 8 |
| the fact that | 8 |
| in a walkable | 7 |

| have to be | 6 |
| i want to | 6 |
| it s a | 6 |
| of the city | 6 |
| a walkable city | 5 |
| i hate that | 5 |
5.2 Remove tri-grams containing extraneous strings
Here’s a look at the data without stop words and extraneous strings whatsoever.
Now that stop words like “in” “and” “the” are no longer considered in the data collection, “car” is represented the most frequently in the results. Cars are not a mandatory component of walkable cities, so this indicates that cars may present some point of tension in the discussions that are going on about walkable cities.
#separate the paired words into three columns
words_ngram_pair <- words_ngram %>%
separate(paired_words, c("word1", "word2", "word3"), sep = " ")
# filter rows where there are stop words under word 1 column and word 2 column and word 3 column

5.3 Frequency of tri-grams
Combining the tri-gram strings into a single column, so we can take a condensed look… quite a few of the tri-grams seem to represent polarizing topics, with many referring to car-dependent city design and others talking about walkable strategies, local corner stores, and car-free cities.
# Combine the columns
words_3gram_tri <- words_ngram_pair_filtered %>%
unite(tri_words, word1, word2, word3, sep = " ")
# Count the frequency of each unique tri-gram
total_count <- as.data.frame(table(words_3gram_tri))
# Sort by frequency from most to least
total_count <- total_count %>%
arrange(desc(Freq))
# Print the table with a limit of 20 rows
kable(head(total_count, 15), caption = "Frequency of Tri-grams")| tri_words | Freq |
|---|---|
| car based infrastructure | 2 |
| car centric design | 2 |
| car dependent city | 2 |

Note: In respect to output length, I’m not showing all the data but to re-iterate: “car” is represented in a lot of tri-grams and “walkable” and “drivers” make several appearances, too.
5.4 Tri-grams insights
Though not frequently posted per tri-gram, there seems to be a lot of polarizing tri-grams about Americans and walkability. Some seem to have an intent of gauging interest, some are in support of walkable, some are against. But the discourse around American infrastructure is prominent and there seems to be a consensus that there’s a lack of what is considered normal. There are tri-grams from specific American cities, but here are a few national examples:- america forces people 1
- america gentle walking 1
- american capitalist sense 1
- american cities freeways 1
- americans hate bikes 1
- americans reject walkability 1
- car dependent city 3
- car based infrastructure 2
- car centric design 2
- car free neighborhood 2
6 Sentiment analysis
Performing a sentiment analysis on text data using a dictionary method that accommodates negations.
6.1 Dctionary loop
For scope purposes, I’m using a function to look through the thread with the most comments. Let’s observe the sentiment scores by word count.
# perform sentiment analysis on the thread with the most comments
analyze_most_commented_thread_sentiment <- function(threads_2) {
# Find the thread with the most comments
most_commented_thread <- threads_2 %>%
arrange(desc(comments)) %>%
slice(1)
# Extract text content from the most commented thread
thread_text <- most_commented_thread$text
# Perform sentiment analysis
sentiment_result <- sentiment(thread_text)
print(sentiment_result)
# Return sentiment analysis result along with other information
return(list(
sentiment_result = sentiment_result,
thread_text = thread_text,
most_commented_thread = most_commented_thread
))
}
# Run and downloaded from Colab BERT sentiment analysis
WR_bert <- read.csv("threads_2_bert.csv")
# Call the function with cleaned Reddit data
result <- analyze_most_commented_thread_sentiment(WR_bert)## element_id sentence_id word_count sentiment
## 1: 1 1 2 0.00000000
## 2: 1 2 17 0.00000000
## 3: 1 3 32 -0.04419417
## 4: 1 4 21 -0.12274756
## 5: 1 5 45 0.32050308
## 6: 1 6 31 0.93035546
## 7: 1 7 20 0.21242646
## 8: 1 8 25 0.00000000
## 9: 1 9 1 0.00000000# Access the sentiment scores and other information
sentiment_result <- result$sentiment_result
thread_text <- result$thread_text
most_commented_thread <- result$most_commented_thread
# Word count by sentiment
ggplot(sentiment_result, aes(x = sentiment, y = word_count, fill = sentiment)) +
geom_bar(stat = "identity") +
labs(
title = paste("Word Count by Sentiment for Subreddit:", unique(most_commented_thread$subreddit)),
x = "Sentiment",
y = "Word Count"
) +
theme_minimal()
6.2 Dictionary method
Many of the threads with stronger negative sentiments tend to be lower in the word counts (but still significant enough for some heated discussion!) at about 250-450 words.
WR_bert %<>%
mutate(title = ifelse(is.na(title), "", title),
text = ifelse(is.na(text), "", text),
title_text = str_c(title, text, sep = ". "))
WR_bert_dictionary <- sentiment_by(WR_bert$title_text)
WR_bert$sentiment_dict <- WR_bert_dictionary %>% pull(ave_sentiment)
WR_bert$word_count <- WR_bert_dictionary %>% pull(word_count)
# radial plot with colors by ave_sentiment
ggplot(WR_bert_dictionary, aes(x = ave_sentiment, y = word_count, color = ave_sentiment)) +
geom_point() +
coord_polar() +
scale_color_gradient(low = "red", high = "green") +
labs(
title = "Radial Plot of Sentiment and Word Count",
x = "Sentiment Score",
y = "Word Count"
) +
theme_minimal()
## BERT method
I used Google Colab to run a BERT sentiment analysis model.
6.3 Sentiment comparisons of both methods
The correlation coefficient is very close to 0, so there’s not much of a linear relationship between the sentiment scores from the dictionary method and the BERT method. Perhaps if the sentiments were more polarizing, there would be more correlation between different methods of scoring sentiments.
# Load or define reddit_sentiment
reddit_sentiment <- read.csv("threads_2_bert.csv")
if ("ave_sentiment" %in% colnames(WR_bert_dictionary) && "bert_score" %in% colnames(reddit_sentiment)) {
# Join data frames based on the common column
joined_data <- inner_join(WR_bert_dictionary, reddit_sentiment, by = c("element_id" = "X"))
# Remove rows with NA values in ave_sentiment or bert_score
joined_data <- na.omit(joined_data[, c("ave_sentiment", "bert_score")])
# Compare sentiment scores
cor_result <- cor(joined_data$ave_sentiment, joined_data$bert_score)
print(cor_result)
} else {
print("Missing required columns in one or both data frames.")
}## [1] 0.0031409177 Evaluate outcomes
The words “car”, “walkable” and “city” have dense word counts, wwhile “driver” is sparse. Still, each target word has at least one thread with 1000 comments. While the general trend of “driver” and “car” seem congruent, it’s not enough to say Reddit commenters have the same strong feelings about both subjects, based on the disparities in the word counts alone.
There seems to be a negative sentiment about Americans related to the walkable cities topic, sparse but very strong sentiment. Meanwhile, “neighborhoods” has a sparse but strong positive sentiment. It’s an interesting finding, knowing that American cities tend to be more sparsely populated and car-centric. This also gives more to think about regarding the tepid sentiment about cities, despite a positive for “walkable” and negative for “car”.
target_words <- c("car", "drivers", "walkable", "city", "american", "neighborhoods")
# empty list to store individual plots
plots_list <- list()
for (word in target_words) {
# Filter the data for comments containing the current target word
target_word_sentiments <- WR_bert %>%
filter(str_detect(title_text, word))
# plot for the current target word
plot <- ggplot(target_word_sentiments, aes(x = word_count, y = sentiment_dict, color = word_count)) +
geom_point() +
geom_smooth(method = "lm", se = FALSE, linetype = "dashed") +
labs(
title = paste("Sentiments of", word),
x = "Word Count",
y = "Sentiment Dictionary Score"
) +
theme_minimal()
# Add plot to the list
plots_list[[word]] <- plot
}
# display
grid.arrange(grobs = plots_list, ncol = 2)
8 Conclusion
- Walkable vs car seems to be a big contention point in the comments,
with “walkable” having more favorable sentiment.
- However, these do not seem to significantly impact the sentiment of cities in general. This could signal a distrust of cities or apprehension to adopt a preference for city styles of living.
- Americans, or perhaps Reddit commenters inclined to positive sentiments about American city designs, seem to hold some of the popular topics to a more neutral sentiment.
- The more moderate sentiments, despite trending slightly upward or downward, are not strong enough to result in a strong linear correlation between dictionary and Bert sentiment scores, which each have their own scales.
- Threads are very active with comments about “walkable” and “car”, but the overall trend does not stray a significant amount from the 0.0, meaning it will take either polarizing sentiment some more convincing for the moderate Reddit commenters.
- Threads with strongly negative sentiments tend to complete the cycle of activity with lower word counts. Commenters are straight to the point with expressing themselves.
