  1. And that's because you're a shitty human being. No one should kill you for that. But no one should put you in control of everyone else's living arrangements either. You can just keep existing as a shitty human being while the rest of us make a better world around you.

  2. It's easier to not have humans you consider refuse fill the streets when you have concentration camps to put them in.

  6. Not unless they're forced. You actually can leverage the greed of developers against them. But what is required of politicians that are willing to bargain hard, drive hard deals and make demands. Greed is a powerful motivation, But it's a weakness too. The land remains valuable, and if you won't meet the city at its demands will then someone else is going to make the money. That kind of attitude, as supposed to subservient cock gobbling that most municipal politicians regardless of party pursue, really can and has succeeded in winning some very valuable development out of the greed of business.

  9. There is a huge component of racism and classism built into the construction of highways that is different in both countries, that you are ignoring when you try to make it sound as if there is a good comparison between the two.

  11. Most human beings live in cities and the amount of human beings by both number and percentage, that live in cities is increasing. The trend is towards greater urbanization not less.

  17.  @besmith89  only you're not. You're the one who came on here whining about it. I'm just laughing at how pointless and helpless you are about it.

  19. The issues in the United States are not created by a lack of money, but a lack of money being applied to them. They have absolutely nothing to do with the relatively small amount of money being pushed Ukraine's way.

  20.  @walawala-fo7ds  funny, TSPLOST passed twice in Georgia in the last 4 years. I guess people actually don't mind paying for infrastructure improvement.

  21.  @walawala-fo7ds  you enjoy being wrong with a passion that's really amazing to watch.

  30. But since he is not a god king and neither are you, he at least understands that you have to build political will and introduce gradual transitions. You don't, but then again you probably don't understand a lot of things.

  31.  @darthmaul216  he's an idiot with a desperate need for contrarian attention. They don't change much and they don't have much to change.

  32. ​ @JustANervousWreck  It's a particular kind of troll and bigot. They get off on cosplaying tucker carlson "I'm just asking questions." Because They are certain that reveals them to be some kind of rhetorical genius. Imagine the really poorly raised, lonely kid in the back of the class holding his finger right next to somebody and whatever somebody says "they're touching me" They start screaming how they aren't and think that's the coolest thing in the world. It's basically that only older.

  36. If you are so bad at math that you think 5 minutes of a 17-minute video is 90%, You need to get off of City planning and start watching Khan academy at a very low level. You have bigger issues to work on.

  38.  @mukrifachri  I look forward to the day when I can put my actual eyes on some Japanese cities as opposed to just reading about them. Thanks for the insight.

  39.  @mukrifachri  Such as (the other problem?) Thankfully I am relatively blessed to know a couple of Japanese speakers as either primary or secondary languages to travel with. It's more a matter of fundings, time off and the minor hiccup of a pandemic. Heh.

  40.  @mukrifachri  "not enough young population" yeah that's huge one and not just for them, though as I understand it, they have it worse than anyone else.

  41. But you got to admit social democracy is pretty cool.

  42. If all you do is go to city channels to complain about how you want to live a rural lifestyle, you're just a troll. This channel holds nothing for you other than as an attempt to fill whatever emptiness is inside of you that you have to go online to get negative attention, rather than finding it positively anywhere else. Suburbs as they are and were originally designed, are a fucking cancer as an objective fact. The owner of this channel talks about the engineering involved in ameliorating some of that. If that's not your thing, maybe you should go develop a thing. Elsewhere. Or don't. Keep being the kid that acts out in class for whatever attention he's not getting at home.

  43. Oh don't think that at all. About 49% of the population is JUST like you.

  46. ​ @joez.2794  It would appear the people that hate children the most would be the ones asking to ride a bike in the area most likely to get them killed on one.

  47. Those aren't cheap (look at the Atlanta debacle over Northside drive for the stadium crossover) utilization is lower than street level crossing, and the roads itself are an increase environmental and safety hazard.

  48. No. We are coming for them, and we out number you. You will grow older and older increasingly surrounded by people who do not look like you, do not act like you and encroach on your fantasy world of a blandly similar life.

  49. You're a gay Democrat in this post, looking to buy a home. You were a farmer a few posts down. How many other people are you going to pretend to be in one comments section? Individual housing will always be the premium item with the premium price in any market. THAT SAID any city that buys into the cycle of fellating every developer that wants to throw up blocks of luxury condos is inviting cancer into their urban core.

  55. What's your plan for handling the mass starvation that almost immediately happens? Considering that truck drivers represent the overwhelming amount of logistical support in the United States, you want to have a fascinating answer for how you chuck them and keep the country functioning.

  56.  @LowJSamuel  population density along most of the coasts of the planet to include the Western world are in excess of what could be grown locally. You're bad at math and less educated than that on epidemiology, food sourcing or even something as simple as understanding the population has grown over time. The tremendous and nuanced reform and change that has to take place in the food system has no place for simplistic statements such as yours.

  57. Only communism is communism and generally speaking even communism isn't what most people think is communism. And zoning definitely isn't communism.

  59. No one is banning access to food. They're banning access to people using drive-throughs. There are other ways to eat.

  60.  @Jmack1lla  a drive-thru is a method for a fast food company to maximize profits. Nothing is preventing a fast food restaurant.

  62. That will require for somebody to love you in the first place, and we all know that's not happening. If you're going to come up with a hypothetical at least try to ground it in reality. You don't need to go over the speed limit to get your real doll some batteries.

  63.  @RyanRuark  they're farmers right? They'd make more money than they were taxed back on carbon credits.

  64. Question.. how does that not result in the wealthy just shoving people out to the perimeter? We're seeing that in Atlanta. There's a lot of drive to own inside the city as it improves.

  65.  @AlexCab_49  Def agreed on the last part. I hear about what you're saying as far as remote work, but here in Atl, is a reverse dynamic. No one with money who's not a maga-at (or a Atlanta retireee burnt out on city life. 🤣) wants to live in Ga, but EVERYONE is moving to Metro Atlanta.

  71. There are so few deserving people who will get cancer. It's nice to have met you and know at least one person will.

  72.  @AC-im4hi  It IS a horrible thing. And lots of horrible things happen to really good people. And someday hopefully it'll happen to you, and you're not a good person. Therefore it will be just for once I said what I said.

  78.  @spacetoast7783  he just wants a legitimized way to be given a government check, do nothing to earn it and then blame everyone else. Which he will then go ahead and transfer on to everyone who is poor.

  79. How would you know anything about a place you've never been?.

  80. You were never subscribed. You do know your subscription list is visible as are all the videos you commented on the past, or the absence thereof right?

  81. How does it feel to be terrified of everybody all the time?
    1
  82. Because it costs money to build houses. However you choose to phrase it, there is an actual investment in energy time and materials in building a structure and maintaining it. Where do you feel that will come from without someone to build it, somebody to maintain it, someone to create the materials it's made from. You can be socialist and still have to accept that things have a cost and that we need to meet those costs by some kind of structured plan.
