👹 PEOPLE, WAKE THE FLUCK UP!!! This is spiritual warfare: Satan's hurding and sorting of his chosen, from those who belong to God and Jesus! There is nothing good about 15 minute cities; the human race will be hurded like cattle and pigs to the slaughter, victims of surveillance, control, and slavery; only to be systematically sorted, separating Jesus' (sealed) people from those whose souls belong to the " ' god ' of this world", and are the damned.

"Hate the game not the player" Except when the Player defends the, wallows in the, weaponizes the game against you. Case in point, Ontario Canada Strong Mayors and lickspittal council members like Windsor Ontario..... Be kind? When they want us DEAD?!?!? How about something more radical like Every Urbanist engaging in a Rent/Tax/Mortgage/Utility strike......

What do you do when the people you are dealing with are evil?

Some constructive feedback: it would be good if the volume between speakers was more even, I needed to turn Jamie up and then turn it back down when the others spoke

This is really important. Too many bad policies and decisions are happening regarding urban trees.

This is interesting around 20:00. In 2014, Washington D.C. had a "vision zero" for traffic fatalities, and it was just reported that not only did their efforts (not based on Strong Towns recommendations) fail, but fatalities have INCREASED over the past decade, despite roughly flat population growth. This shows that actual policies, not just good intentions, matter a LOT. Good urbanism is more than simply putting up speed cameras and hoping for the best.

The sale prices of commercial properties have way too many factors for them to give any kind of reliable insight into what the value of the property is. The assessed value will at least give you a rough idea of the value compared to others that the locality has assessed. Nice guide though

Great podcast. Growing up in Montreal, I thought the Walkup was just normal. Not according to the Firefighting Industrial Complex.

This is such a deeply enlightening conversation. Thank you for breaking it all down!

It's funny to hear the discussion of a transportation moat. In so many ways, this project would fill in the transportation moat. First, the people who flood the neighborhood, driving to park around the stadium make this area horrendous to walk, bike, and live near. Second, the parking lots themselves create a moat around the area. The region is already between a transit moat of the railroad corridor and I-290 which is only made worse by the stadium. Finally, by expanding the Pink Line stop, which will be 2 blocks East of the area, will create a vital bridge. The shame of it is not eliminating the parking on Ogden Ave to create a BRT route, and not also finding a way to create BRT or a new L line on Western Ave.

How many strong towns you tube channels are there?

I wish the video had stereo sound - even if it's not real. Hearing the audio out of one ear/speaker is rough

I live nearish Norman, excited to see those changes happen though they won't affect me

There is no better way to love your neighbor than building strong beautiful cities.

Interesting how l there are aspects of this that both political tribes should champion; De-regulation/de centralization, lower public costs and increased privatization for the right Community, environmental, public spaces for the left…. But neither wants the otherside to be happy 😂

@Norm mutual funds are pretty simple to figure out and not speculative. I'm in the U.S., maybe the markets are different in CA. But as long as you switch to bonds as you get older and there's no apocalypse you should be good.

I wish your team could come to NJ or the NY area and chat with some of the town Mayers. I live in the suburbs of NJ close to NYC and wondering why people are not walking in their neighborhood as much.

In the German city that the HQ of my lasAny was, the town was full of three story beautiful homes. When I mention it to my German coworkers, they said most are three generations. Grand parents on bottom floor, parents on 2nd floor, and adult kids on third.

Bought my first home in 86, interest rates were 18%. & we don’t get to deduct our interest.

Plus the sale price of your home is not what you pay for it. We don’t get to deduct mortgage interest in Canada.

The suburbs here in Canada are now being discovered by Millennials & Gen Z’s. Most of my neighbourhood is flipping over now.

This video reminds me of that scene in the big short where Christian Bale as Dr Bury is all frusterated and demoralized by the fact that the bubble hasn't popped yet. Defining exurbs here as "small towns," are these then just towns that haven't yet experimented with / learned the lesson of unprofitable suburbs? Maybe the cities that suffered the most the earliest will be the first to stop making those sorts of investments, but then all the other smaller towns will want their shot to try it as well.

My town is the first town to get rid of parking minimums. People are so angry, they might have to walk a block.

Wonderful chat, but Jeff's understanding of our nomadic history seems somewhat misunderstood to me. I'm no anthropologist either, but having read James C. Scott's Against The Grain and David Graeber and David Wengrow's The Dawn of Everything, I've the impression that it is well accepted in anthropology that we mostly really did not walk that much at all, even as "nomads". Largely we got along quite well being mostly sedentary or seasonally mobile, doing laissez faire agriculture and hunting... That myth about us coving miles upon miles until we settled down and invented agriculture is a misunderstanding and a myth that was perpetuated by the early states, to whom the myth of the stupid, restless, hard working savage was a crucial part of keeping people as sedentary farmers... So yes, of course we walked more than we do today... but it was mostly trips of an hour or a few away from camp and back again... Anyway, I'd guess you guys know James Scott as the writer of Seeing Like a State... It's quite on topic, when the topic is cities for people, and by people...

hearing about all these correlations make you wonder what other factors align with trees and if they controlled for them

What an interesting topic. Thanks everyone!

Enjoy Santa Fe & Taos Abby! Consider meeting with the Albuquerque Local Conversation group!

Having worked as a taxi driver in Dallas, I saw so much excess parking at the back of apartment complexes, didn't know why until I saw a video about it. What a waste of space and money.

Do you have the link to the Dallas before and after you referenced?

It's "no takesy-backsies" Charles. 😉

we need Abby to read the audiobook of the strong towns books and upload it to youtube

I'd like to see a separate program on Chuck's assertion that cities steer subsidies to richer neighborhoods. Is it as brazen as that, or is it hidden or camouflaged under something more legitimate?

So, in the suburbs, by the time the mortgage is paid, it's time to move again, before the deferred work can no longer be deferred.

I live in the Capital District of NY (Albany, Troy, etc). It amazes me looking at the old brownstone homes in these cities. Even though the neighborhood has been run down n many homes r vacant they still stand n could be rehabilitated. If I left my suburban home for 5 years it would have to be completely demolished.

since 2020 home values are down 75% priced in Bitcoin. The homeowners already got fleeced, their home will be down 99% in value by the time they start tracking the price in the real money. Talk about criminals using bitcoin is just a distraction. Have fun staying poor, chuck

I am a first year mechanical engineer and want to work on public transportation in the future. This video is helping me wrap my head on why it's so expensive to do transit projects, and I definitely plan on re-watching this video. Thank you!

In a way, it reminds me of Constitution Plaza in Hartford, CT. Has a ton of potential for a capital city. Except for one primary issue. There is no residential capacity there (constitution plaza) Effectively making Downtown Hartford a dead zone after 5pm. People get out of their jobs. And drive out to suburbia

"No views 3 minutes ago" Ooo, I'm 1st!
