@jonjon.jpeg: Almost no one is a fan of the buildings that are developed under a state of “sudden intensification” and the solution is not bigger bets from top down plans, but increased land. Use freedoms that democratized development on smaller scales. Other videos: 1. Density is good for nature @The Happy Urbanist 2. Density is good for agriculture @The Happy Urbanist 3.

Man, I just moved to Kyoto for a year and it’s eye opening how lacking the US is with its city planning. I can get literally everything I need within, at most, 2 km of my house

Old world development happened during humanity's walking/horseback phase, small and self contained. America developed largely post automobile, hence the sprawl.

Oooh, is this why I, as a European, don't get the term "downtown"? I never realised tbh

my state just put a moratorium on land development code changes that would make it easier to building middle housing 😩🫠

When I realized cities doesn’t have to be built like this. I wonder why America has duplicated this bad design

A huge part of the problem is that America is fundamentally structured to redistribute wealth to the wealthy; this is an excellent example how.

San Francisco has both the downtown and duplication. I can walk and have all my needs met in my neighborhood. I don’t need to go downtown.

How large can “downtown” be? There is a part of Stockholm I’d call downtown but it’s 4 times the size of Central Park I’m New York

is there a way to combine the European model with American? If USA had more public transit and less parking spaces pur cities would look nice.
