It's fun to look at recommendations for compact cars because when you look them up, they'll all already have been discontinued

I guess I personally like "boring, overlong poo poo narrated by white nerds" but I agree that we need other content in the sense that someone needs to figure out how to present these ideas in a way that isn't preaching to the choir

THis is also why I like CityNerd because he doesn't even pretend he can put the effort to be entertaining in.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDGNNxY56k0 I wanted offer one criticism of this video: Chinese rail stations are designed with new developments in mind. It isn't just that China wants to save cash by not building it directly in a CBD; they can also control land usage so expansion happens around the station itself, which makes forcing a station in the old CBD redundant. Also, it is less of a issue if you have dense transit connections between the two. He gives Tokyo station as a positive example of what China should have done, but if anything, Tokyo's central station is clearly crammed with already existing development and by its position between the Imperial Palace and the bay, can only actually service a very specific section of Tokyo. He is right about most of the rest of it since the Economist seems to be mostly guided by emotional concerns, but yeah, it is worth bringing it up. ---------- Otherwise, induced demand is clearly a very real issue and you can't expand road infrastructure like you can expand rail or other infrastructure. On a metro line, you can start just running more trains, it is a little easier than bulldozing homes to add a single extra lane. In addition, the efficiency of roads is just difficult to get right as they get larger. It is easy to have bottlenecks if you can't fully expand a road (which is very common) or you expand it so wide that merging traffic partially negates efficiency, and those issues won't be solved by autonomous cars (which will probably induce more demand). Expressways just maximized their usefulness in many cities, and the only real solution is state involvement in rail development.

Admittedly, they may simply be held back by existing infrastructure and the fact it may more sense to refit an older system than build a new one from scratch. That said, if you can, why it do it especially since you know there will be continued urbanization in the long term. The rest of the video was fine, I would also only add that a HSR system has a additional benefit over roads simply because it does generate revenue even if it can’t repay its capital costs immediately and over time this may pay off the debt on its own beyond all the other benefits.

Was sitting at a light with my husband and he just had his first real "jesus christ those trucks are tall, how is that legal" moment because the grill of the ford 150 next to us was literally taller than our car / above his head which im sure just generally feels weird for a tall guy. im used to poo poo being taller than me at 5'6 but he's 6'3. There's certainly something funny as gently caress though about being in the home depot parking lot and watching the big pick up truck guys try like 7 times to park their cars in the spots that are already huge but not big enough for their pickups.
