@weiming @isaaccp @futurebird @dynamic this insight made me think of #CityNerd Ray Delahanty @nerd4cities #urbanism #urbanplanning #cityplanning

How would these figures compare with Dublin, Belfast or Galway car ownership? https://www.ted.com/talks/ray_delahanty_living_car_free_in_vegas_other_questionable_life_choices #CityNerd

@nerd4cities teasing Americans with high-speed train videos from Spain.

The frequent departures are awesome, as is the unlimited baggage. But in my opinion, the minimal security waits and ample seating are the secret stars of rail travel.

I've gotten deeply into #UrbanPlanning in the last few years, abetted by a lifelong dream of living in #Europe. I discovered #Youtube channels like @nerd4cities, @notjustbikes, & #CityBeautiful that spelled out what makes places livable & why European #cities tend to be better.

It's changed my mind on where I'd like to live, from 'I want acres in the country' to wanting denser populations & walkability - & where city finances aren't held hostage by parking lots & roads.

This #video highlights some good & bad things about #Valencia, Spain (aka my hopeful retirement locale), but what shocked me was the 80% home ownership figure, vs 65% in the US. Americans like me tend to associate #apartments (aka #flats) with renting, but not in Europe.

There's a better way of living, and I'd like to experience it.

Damn #citynerd, all the downsides you list aren't downsides!

CityNerd discusses e-scooters and how they help or hurt our cities.

Public transportation can be slow and not appropriate for shorter trips. E-scooters could fill a gap in city mobility with these shorter trips, but why do so many city dwellers hate e-scooters so much?

CityNerd discusses carpool lanes. What they are, the different types of carpool lanes, and why they may not help traffic as much as we think.

Is housing a basic human right, or an investment asset? Is housing as an investment better for people? Cities? Housing prices?

Ive been watching #citynerd to find good walkable neighborhoods to move to. But I just realized this entire channel is essentially doing free real estate research #urban #urbanism #urbanplanning #walkablecities

#introduction
#minnesota likes nutrition, biking, hiking, coffee, learning about photography, bees, gardening, #NotJustBikes #citynerd #ClimateTown with kids into making art and music and flying. Goals include smiling because I'm happy and making the world just a bit kinder.

@BrooklynSpoke @nerd4cities Definitely an instant #citynerd classic. Wife and I were left in equal parts stitches and depression.

That aerial shot zooming out to the sea of parking at 11:35 slackened our jaws. "My God, it's the ending of Solaris!" we both exclaimed. The 1972 #Tarkovsky version.

Anyway, good work. I'm finally headed over to patreonize this fantastic oeuvre.

Lifestyle centers are like fake walkable downtown places that have been popping up all over the place.

Do they live up to the real walkable downtown places they try to replace? Are they good for cities?
