Awesome map and I assume none of it exists now but also loling at number 39: ghetto. Is there something more to that because it's very funny to put the White Sox stadium up there with the place with all the poor people as a neat idea for a trip around the city

Rowhouses ftw. Lots of older wooden ones here in Hali which are cool, all painted in fun colours. Should build more, the costs of giant concrete apartment buildings are insanely prohibitive compared to three/four story woodframes hence almost all new construction being luxury apartments/condos. Less density per building but like we're competeing with mcmansions on personal football fields here so whatever

I can't remember the exact number but in order to actually account for what it costs to build+maintain shouldn't street parking be something like $200/hour. That's probably wrong but whatever, the sheer scale of invisible subsidies given to the auto industry and drivers is insane

Lots* of city councils that want to try and dig out of the mess of the last seven decades. Even if they can get the support to start trying there's a decent chance the landlord infested provincial goverments will just grant themselves the power to override any municipal law though. Is it as hopeless as the six figgie white immigrant in gentrified Amsterdam makes it out? Probably not, but it's not going to be easy. Hell most cities can barely support the transit systems they currently have let alone expanding them. But it's cool, the provinces and federal government are still spending tens of billions on highways and SFH developer contracts, growth ftw motherfuckers

*probably an overstatement lol, but some are trying anyway

He just goes too far. It isn't that Amsterdam has better biking than Montreal; it of course, but come on. Amsterdam is a historically more small-scaled European city where most of the urban layout was already fixed in 1920. Nevertheless, Amsterdam also has its highways, industrial areas, and awkward metro stops. If you want to be fair, even it isn't a paradise, and honestly, a lot of sidewalks in Amsterdam are still an issue and the public transportation is ridiculously expensive.

Montreal just isn't ever going to be Amsterdam it physically can't. I think he really does a disservice to everyone by ragging on it for most of the video because it still has highways and suburbs like any other North American city rather than recognizing that a lot of work has been done, it is getting better, and that North American cities are just going to have legacy infrastructure.

Not everyone is going to be able to move to Amsterdam or the Netherlands, that includes other Europeans. So I really don't get the point of it, I guess it hurt him personally or something.

Lmfao almost all the kilometers of those Via Rail lines run once a week when they're not cancelled for several years cause the tracks are poo poo or the rolling stock is worn out.

Oh and the Corridor (the lines with actual service where half the Canadian population lives) hasn't had baggage cars for a good half decade now and we don't know when they're coming back.

Yeah but High Frequency Rail is definitely coming. Definitely

Playing in the street ftw, so many games of hockey. Sounds like a pretty good setup if the neighbours are working together to keep it safe rather than having to rely on someone paying enough attention to shout 'car' every five freakin minutes
