Youtube comments of (@BuildingTales).

  1. My bad, didn't realize the spinning was so disorienting to so many people... future videos will be less vertigo inducing!
    173
  2. Definitely a good prediction on your part! To be honest, I was someone who totally bought into the hype and I got naively excited about it when it was first announced ... I was fully expecting the "mini-Dubai". Was a big time wakeup call to see how this and other projects like it have fared over the past decade. Now that I'm in the construction/development industry, this project in particular has played a big role in shaping how I see future projects.
    63
  3. That's a good one for sure! For this list I left olympic venues off just because there are so many of them that had major problems.
    34
  4. The numbers are clear with the California HSR... decades late and a budget at least 5x what it was supposed to be. I'm not opposed to HSR, I'm opposed to incompetence and waste. I'm hoping the Brightline West is more efficiently run so we can have a more successful HSR project to use as a blueprint for others in America.
    32
  5. Now that Baltimore is talking about reviving the Red Line project, maybe one day we'll see that subway eventually get built!
    27
  6. Thanks, glad you're liking the content! And I definitely agree about Google Earth... so much cool stuff to see on there!
    19
  7. Definitely does have some SimCity vibes to it ... build it up and then worry about demand later. I really hope it works out well for the city, but it seems like demand is definitely not what some people were hoping it would be.
    16
  8. Haha fair… the goal was to make it as un controversial of a statement as far as the pros/cons of organized religion and just stick to specifically the building projects for this video
    14
  9. Yea it's really high quality stuff, definitely a step above many projects I've seen... and the waterfront is a beautiful mix of industry and nature. Hopefully it picks back up, but only time will tell!
    12
  10. Agreed! There is so much beauty in the church architecture of the past, but its very hard to find beauty in some of the modern megachurches that look like a cross between a sports area and a warehouse.
    12
  11. Yea it does seem like a different story if you had a big house but a large, multi generational family to fill it. Like you said, there's almost something a little sad about having a giant house, but it getting very limited use.
    12
  12. Good call... not sure how I missed that badly on that one. Edited the video to correct that (...and by edited I mean there's no #9 on the list anymore haha)
    12
  13. Agreed, that's probably the one that most deserved to make it on the list that didn't end up on it
    11
  14. High speed rail is great! The CHSR is decades late, over budget many times over and even past project leads have said they think it's unlikely to ever be fully finished. I'm far more optimistic with the Brightline projects. My hope is that they will be a success become the blueprint for future HSR projects.... and show that schedules and budgets do actually matter.
    11
  15. Very cool, I didn't know about that!
    10
  16. Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
    9
  17. Haha you are correct... I realized I had 11 after I had already written the scripts so I just threw a bonus one in there. I figured that anyone who made it all the way to #2 was probably interested enough in the topic that they wouldn't mind an extra one
    9
  18. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
    9
  19. That's a good idea, ill start doing some research!
    8
  20. Good stuff!! Appreciate all those other ones, it’ll definitely be cool for me to look into those ones further And you’re totally right about the pa turnpike … I was on the fence if I should include it or pick a different one … but I had just hiked it, so figured I’d throw the video clips in there 😂
    8
  21. Funny how it works out like that!
    8
  22. That does sound awesome! Agree 100% that that is the kind of public art that should be invested in
    8
  23. Interesting opinion
    8
  24. Agreed! It seems like there’s always a demand for venues like that… they just gotta build it into the fabric of the city rather than isolated out away from everyone where no one can easily get to it
    8
  25. Very true! Its a shame about that, because otherwise it seems like a really cool stadium.
    7
  26. Thanks, really appreciate the kind words!
    7
  27. Football as in the soccer variety
    6
  28. The St Louis was a Serra project as well! Seems like he has a theme to his work haha
    6
  29. Yea seems like a lot of very odd choices were made with that project
    6
  30. Agree to disagree! Tren Maya in Mexico is up and running for about 10 billion dollars and it got started in 2018. These projects don’t have to take as long and cost as much as we’ve become accustomed to in America. The actual construction part can be done pretty quick, if the administrative and bureaucratic parts are handled. You are absolutely right that no one can really make any definitive judgements about what’s going to happen decades from now, but to me we already know it’s a waste based on the simple fact that we have to ask questions like “how many decades will it take to complete?” … and “will it cost 135 billion dollars or 250 billion dollars?” Rail infrastructure is great and it would be fantastic if we had better, more efficient systems than we currently have. To me though the numbers on this one are so far out compared to other similar projects it just doesn’t make sense to me.
    6
  31. Agreed, love to see the comeback!
    6
  32. It is unfortunate to see how prevalent that behavior is in a lot of these places... sad to see nice renovations that don't make it long term because of those things
    6
  33. To me, that seems like strange oversimplification of the concept of preserving historic architecture.
    6
  34. Definitely one with some major problems! Since it got finished I put it on the "almost failures" video that I made last week, but it could definitely fit for this one too
    6
  35. Thanks!! Really appreciate the support!
    6
  36. Thanks! Really appreciate the support!
    5
  37. Baltimore is like that too! Coming North on I-95, you come around a bend and over a small hill and then it's all out there to see. I always wonder if they did that on purpose when they were building the interstates, or if that was just how it worked out.
    5
  38. Agreed! I’d love to get out there and see it all in person soon!
    5
  39. Thanks!! Appreciate it!
    5
  40. Great breakdown! You make a lot of good points about the different projects. I agree that some are a little more clearcut cases of fails than others.
    5
  41. Sounds like there's definitely lots of material for a part 2 video!
    5
  42. Definitely a cool idea, Ill look into it!
    5
  43. Definitely a good one! I wasn't entirely sure what the current status of that one, but it would definitely be a good option for this list!
    5
  44. Kansas City is a good one for sure ... and I do agree that it is underrated.
    5
  45. Thanks for sharing your story. That's really the goal for a house!
    5
  46. Charlotte is nice but not really underrated in my opinion. Population wise its 3 times as big as most of the cities on this list, so it makes sense that it has a more impressive skyline
    5
  47. I made a video specifically about some of the failed olympic venues a month or two back so for this particular list I decided to leave those ones off. But they definitely are some of the most striking examples of failed sports venues!
    5
  48. Thanks! Glad you find this kinda stuff cool too! And I think you have a fair point with the grand central station being the biggest and most impactful... definitely coulda been moved up the list.
    5
  49. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
    5
  50. Seemed nice when I was there! Still has a long way to go in spots but definitely on the way up
    5
  51. Detroit is great! I have a couple videos on the channel just dedicated to Detroit, so I figured Id let some other cities get a little attention on this one
    5
  52. That's a very good point!
    4
  53. Glad you enjoyed it too! Its dedicated viewers like you who not only watch, but also engage with videos that are boosting this channel to the top!
    4
  54. But would you personally pay $500,000 of your own money for it? That is the real question ... the vast majority of the people who take issue with these projects don't really care about the ugly design or "who understands it" or any of those things. The biggest complaint is that people don't like seeing their money involuntarily taken from them through taxes and then funneled to a well connected, non-local artist who then charges an excessive amount for an unappealing sculpture. It's not the actual art that's the problem, it's the bureaucratic, wasteful and sometimes corrupt process of procuring the art that people like me don't like.
    4
  55. Lucky for you, YouTube has a handful of other videos you can watch instead!
    4
  56. Didn't know about that one, but now that I see it, it was definitely deserving of a spot on the list!
    4
  57. That one was definitely a mess too!
    4
  58. Seems like it would be a fascinating place to check out, but I can imagine there are some characters out in a place like that!
    4
  59. Definitely a unique piece of infrastructure!
    4
  60. Interesting choices.... agree on Orlando but I kinda like Boston
    4
  61. Agreed! Such a unique building, glad its getting a lot of use now!
    4
  62. It’s got some nice parts!
    4
  63. It's unfortunate how many people feel that way. Could be the greatest place on earth, but if people don't feel safe it'll never thrive.
    4
  64. Very cool, appreciate hearing about it first hand!
    4
  65. Yea Detroit is such a neat place! To go from the industrial powerhouse of the world to half deserted in less than a century is wild. You do raise a good question about how sustainable will the new development be? Is there enough of an economic base to support it beyond the initial reinvestment? Definitely will be cool to see how it goes in the future! I’m hoping to get up there this year to check it out and try to connect with some builders and developers to get their firsthand thoughts on it
    4
  66. Yea, im still kinda new to video editing so its still a little clunkier than I would like ... but definitely working on it and hopefully future videos will be a little smoother!
    4
  67. Appreciate the info!
    4
  68. Thanks really appreciate the kind words!
    4
  69. Generally it’s considered preferable if your stadium doesn’t collapse
    4
  70. Agreed! Awesome to see Detroits comeback!
    4
  71. Agreed! Its strange to see how dingy it was looking in the 1960s... the pictures from that time period are almost unrecognizable from a few decades before
    4
  72. Not sure I’d call it progress to have a half complete highway that barely connects to anything and resulted in thousands of people being displaced
    4
  73. All good points! Using 60 year old technology of any kind is bound to be less safe and the new and improved tech... imagine if we were all still driving around in 60 year old cars
    4
  74. Thanks! and yep there's all kinds of cool videos from urban explorers for just about all of these!
    4
  75. That is a weird way to determine success and failure!
    4
  76. Such a bizarre addition haha
    4
  77. I think for me its about how unexpected the couple high rises are in Mobile ... I live in a similarly sized town and our tallest is only about 7 stories tall... so for a small town to randomly have a 750' tower, I just find that kinda cool. If we were just straight up ranking them without factoring in the underrated part, id definitely agree that KC is the better of the two
    4
  78. Yea it's a super cool place... at its peak it was just such a vibrant place, that even after all its been through it still has so much potential!
    4
  79. Good guess!! Thanks for watching!
    4
  80. Agreed! Despite all of these cool renovations, there are some many other cool pieces of architecture that have been lost. Love to see it when old stuff can be salvaged and repurposed!
    4
  81. Thanks for watching! Its dedicated viewers like you that are helping the channel blow up!
    4
  82. Such a cool city, I love visiting it!
    4
  83. Very true! I shoulda clarified that part for sure! Does seem like the taxpayers are usually the ones getting the short end of the stick
    3
  84. Yep that's definitely a big one!
    3
  85. Glad you enjoyed it Stevie!
    3
  86. Thanks again for further supporting the video through your detailed comments!
    3
  87. I'm a lot less familiar with those, but will start learning about that so I can put out some European city content in the future!
    3
  88. Jacksonville's isn't bad, but being so spread out makes it feel like less of a continuous skyline and more of an assortment of tall buildings.
    3
  89. Very valuable addition to the conversation!
    3
  90. Yea it's unfortunate to see for sure
    3
  91. That's my voice... I'm flattered you think my delivery is so professional that you think its ai
    3
  92. Definitely!
    3
  93. Harbor East definitely has become a popular spot. It has the benefit of being walking distance to the Inner Harbor and some of the more established spots downtown. Unfortunately I'm not convinced this new project will be able to replicate the success of Harbor East.
    3
  94. The name of the video is “failed and unusual monuments” … a monument construction project that is set to take 100+ years qualified as “unusual”
    3
  95. Is that the same one where there’s just a bridge out in the middle of nowhere that the road never made it to?
    3
  96. Ill add it to the part 2 video!
    3
  97. It's got some really great spots for sure! Definitely an underrated place to live, despite the issues it does have.
    3
  98. Glad you enjoyed it! Many more on the way :)
    3
  99. Exactly! Great cities need to grow organically over the years. As things are needed they are built and adjustments happen along the way. This business of building based on hopes and dreams just seems like it's a setup for failure.
    3
  100. Thanks!
    3
  101. I struggled enough trying to get through it once!
    3
  102. Unfortunately it does seem to work out that way most of the time
    3
  103. Definitely would make for an awesome video! Would love to make that one and get to all the places in person at some point… see the Cologne Cathedral and places like that in person
    3
  104. Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
    3
  105. I've got a few roads to nowhere in mind, but if you have any suggestions, id definitely be happy to hear them!
    3
  106. Thanks, appreciate the kind words!
    3
  107. Haven't heard of that one, I'll definitely look into it!
    3
  108. Thakns for wattching!
    3
  109. I appreciate your thoughts on this! Honestly, I’m no architecture expert so I just kinda went with calling it what the general internet consensus was calling it. It’s interesting to hear a thorough and well thought out alternate perspective!
    3
  110. Thanks!! Appreciate the support!
    3
  111. Will do! Appreciate the suggestion!
    3
  112. That's a fair perspective! It is pretty impressive that despite the initial problems, it has seen so much use in the decades since
    3
  113. A lot of the divide is from a big freight yard, so while I'm sure they could figure out something like that, I think no matter what they try to do, it will be expensive. One idea that I heard that seemed as good as any was to run a light rail spur off the main line... but even that would be pretty pricey because it would likely have to have some elevated segments to get over/around the river.
    3
  114. Glad you enjoyed it! It is pretty wild how many of these there are around ... I'm sure I'm only scratching the surface of all the projects like this!
    3
  115. Thanks for watching Bobby! Glad you enjoyed the video!
    3
  116. Thanks for watching! I agree, super cool to see these buildings get a second chance. I know some demolitions are necessary, but it’s a shame to see how much is torn down these days
    3
  117. Seems like a bit of a sweeping generalization to me
    3
  118. Thanks, appreciate the kind words! Definitely would love to do some videos that focused on the architecture of other religions too!
    3
  119. That would actually be kinda cool, I’m onboard with that idea!
    3
  120. Tulsa is a good one for sure!
    3
  121. Yep! Did one a couple weeks back and have another one in the works!
    3
  122. It's a cool one too! I like how its got the river and the hill overlooking the downtown area... kinda like a smaller version of Pittsburgh!
    3
  123. Will be a good one for part 2!
    3
  124. Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
    3
  125. I'll have to find some of those for part 2! I kinda went down a Guilded Age rabbit hole for most of the buildings on this list
    3
  126. Agreed! Great to see these buildings getting a new life!
    3
  127. Thanks, Appreciate the kind words! More videos on the way!
    3
  128. Too big and too well known to be considered underrated in my opinion.... great skyline though!
    3
  129. Agreed, the view from that spot is amazing! Wish I could have seen it back when the stadium was still up!
    3
  130. Good catch! Thanks for the correction!
    3
  131. Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
    3
  132. That's an interesting perspective; Not one that I fully agree with, but interesting nonetheless!
    3
  133. Thanks! And it’s definitely a work in progress as you can see, but the last month or so I’ve started to make a real effort to learn the editing side of things … so hopefully it will only get better from here on!
    3
  134. Thank you for this very worthwhile and thoughtful comment!
    3
  135. Interesting! I hadn't heard that part of it
    3
  136. Thanks!! Appreciate you watching!
    3
  137. Agreed... shame to see it torn down. Camden needs all the nice things it can get, so to see a gem like that prematurely torn down is kinda a shame.
    3
  138. I'm flattered you find my narration so professional sounding that you think it is AI
    3
  139. Yea its a pretty cool one, its a shame there was all the bad stuff that happened during its construction
    3
  140. I’ve been running an IG page for the last few years of failed development projects so at this point I have a pretty big list compiled of all different types… some were ones I researched but most were suggestions that I’ve gotten. It’s been super cool learning about all the different projects and places!
    3
  141. I guess I'll have to start working on part 2! Appreciate the suggestions!
    3
  142. Interesting, I wasn't familiar with that one. Thanks for sharing about it, I'll definitely look into it further!
    3
  143. That would be fascinating to see at that stage! And as some one who's currently in a 400 square foot studio, I can definitely agree with the second part of your comment... looking forward to having a front door and a back yard again haha
    3
  144. North Korea*
    3
  145. Makes sense! I like the idea of always doing them in Athens
    3
  146. I guess I'll have to make another video for those!
    2
  147. Yep! I was at UMD back in the early days of that project and that was a long time ago at this point!
    2
  148. NEW ENGLAND Whalers
    2
  149. Thanks for watching! It’s dedicated viewers like you who are making this channel take off!
    2
  150. Appreciate the suggestion!
    2
  151. I actually kinda like Buffalo
    2
  152. Thanks for watching!! Appreciate the support!
    2
  153. That's a great way to sum up the issue on this one!
    2
  154. Better idea than giving any government control over construction …… have some basic health and life safety standards for construction and then let the free market sort out the rest
    2
  155. That's a very specific and detailed analysis, thanks for sharing!
    2
  156. Thanks for watching Mr Gas!
    2
  157. No one is saying it is going to be the Detroit of the 1950s but there is no question that there is some positive momentum. You can choose to see the good that's going on or choose to ignore it.
    2
  158. Everyone is free to see the world with their own perspective … to me it’s a lot more enjoyable to be an optimist!
    2
  159. Thanks, appreciate it!
    2
  160. I definitely agree that the context matters … a whole city of brutalist buildings would probably be a little dreary, but in the right place, they can be pretty neat looking! Like I mentioned in the video the one along the Chicago river is cool because it is so different than what’s around it … and I hadn’t really thought about it but what you mention with them contrasted against natural elements definitely makes a lot of sense too!
    2
  161. Well there was that one little collapsing incident...
    2
  162. Since the theme was underrated skylines, I was trying to pick small cities. Charlotte's skyline is great but it's three times the size of most of the cities on this list by population, so for that reason I decided to go with other ones.
    2
  163. Glad you enjoyed the video so much Davey!!
    2
  164. Appreciate the clarification!
    2
  165. That one is amazing! Thanks for mentioning it, I wasn't familiar with it before!
    2
  166. Thanks, appreciate it!
    2
  167. Interesting thoughts!
    2
  168. It is! With all the bad news about Detroit, it’s nice to put some good stuff out there too!
    2
  169. Appreciate it!! Trying for once a week…. But I’m even worse at it than I expected so I may be a little less frequently than that. Hopefully it gets easier as I get some practice!
    2
  170. Glad you stumbled across the channel! Thanks for watching!!
    2
  171. Interesting opinion Mike!
    2
  172. Why is anything interested in anything? Some people like art, some people like music, and some people like the intersection between engineering, architecture and urban planning that is skyscrapers.
    2
  173. I'll definitely look into it! If you have any suggestions for that one, I'd love to hear them!
    2
  174. Thanks for watching!
    2
  175. Because it's a waste of tax dollars .... no one cares if a rich person has unattractive art in their living room that they paid for. The problem is when your are taxing people, then spending it on things no one wants without giving them a say in the whole thing .... its going to rub some people the wrong way.
    2
  176. Also a good choice!
    2
  177. Appreciate the suggestion! I wasn't familiar with that one
    2
  178. Appreciate the suggestion ... I'm looking forward to researching it!
    2
  179. Sorry Greta!
    2
  180. Appreciate the suggestion! Just being perfectly honest, i know very little about the city of Minneapolis, so I'll definitely do some research on it
    2
  181. Definitely one of the major challenges for the city. It would be great for the city to at least start to move more in line with the surrounding counties... but that would require politicians to vote to have less money sent their way, so I'm not holding my breath on that.
    2
  182. Thanks!!
    2
  183. True, definitely a little bit of a stretch to call it a tree
    2
  184. Not familiar with that one, but I'll definitely look into it. Thanks for the suggestion!
    2
  185. Does seem like a little bit light of a fine
    2
  186. It was actually an article I read on a solar panel sales website (very random haha but it was actually a pretty interesting breakdown) ... it pretty much just broke down tall buildings into 4 or 5 classifications based on height, ranked each category and then came up with an aggregate ranking
    2
  187. Thanks for watching Jove!
    2
  188. Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
    2
  189. Interesting perspective...
    2
  190. Thanks! Happy Friday to you too!
    2
  191. Elaborate...
    2
  192. Agreed! Some go the later images of it make it look kinda dingy, but if it had been better maintained or fully restored, it would be spectacular
    2
  193. True, that one is pretty hard to beat
    2
  194. not sure im following your point Andy...
    2
  195. Appreciate the feedback, I’ll keep that in mind for the next one!
    2
  196. Thanks for the info Walter!
    2
  197. Thanks, appreciate the support! And agreed, its great to see everything that's going on in Detroit
    2
  198. Thanks!
    2
  199. I wasn't familiar with that one, thanks for mentioning it!
    2
  200. Definitely lots of structural problems ... and you're so right. The issues that are the real big ones are not something that you can just blindly throw money at ... they require real change and a reimagining of the whole way the city runs.
    2
  201. That's an awesome idea! Sometimes they turn out just like the renderings, other times not so much.... I'll definitely look into that idea!
    2
  202. Thanks, really appreciate it!
    2
  203. …
    2
  204. Its a nice one, but its not underrated in my opinion
    2
  205. Interesting perspective ...
    2
  206. Will do, appreciate the feedback!
    2
  207. Glad you're enjoying it! Thanks for watching!
    2
  208. Yep good call, that's definitely a controversial one! I included that one on my "highways to nowhere" video since the bridge was eventually cancelled before it was built but it coulda worked out for either video!
    2
  209. There are several alternate routes with tunnels under the river … but as someone who commutes through there I can confirm traffic has been pretty heavy since then
    2
  210. It is very clean and tidy!

  211. They've been going up for a little bit now. From what I've heard, sales for them have been fairly strong so far. Couple weeks ago one of the rows of houses caught fire as it was getting framed out and a couple units took some pretty heavy damage, but they've already cleaned it up and kept things moving. All in all that one seems to be on a pretty good track.... hopefully those homes are enough to start getting a little bit of vibrancy down that way. Seems like that project is on a smaller scale and more demand driven ... which seems like a much safer way of doing a development project.
    2
  212. Awesome! Thanks for the suggestions, I'll definitely take a look at these
    2
  213. Interesting thought Brett!
    2
  214. Thanks!! Really appreciate everyone who came over from there!!
    2
  215. That one is beautiful! I wasn't familiar with it, definitely glad you mentioned it... will have to make a part 2 video and include it on there!
    2
  216. That's a great point! As bad as the situation was, it was a massive silver lining that the problem was acknowledged and fixed accordingly
    2
  217. Will do! Got any specific cities you’d like to see?
    2
  218. Appreciate the positive words, thanks for watching!
    2
  219. Very cool! I wasn't familiar with that one, thanks for giving it a mention!
    2
  220. Thanks!
    2
  221. Thanks for watching!
    2
  222. ?
    2
  223. Great city!
    2
  224. Thanks! Really appreciate it!
    2
  225. I probably used a looser definition than some would ... it might be more accurate if referred to them as "buildings with brutalist elements" rather than "brutalist buildings"
    2
  226. Thanks, really appreciate the kind words!
    2
  227. Thanks for the ideas!
    2
  228. Agreed! Love to see the progress!
    2
  229. To be fair to America... half the ones on the list aren't from America
    2
  230. It is pretty cool looking!
    2
  231. Would definitely make a lot of sense!
    2
  232. Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
    2
  233. Interesting opinion Arch!
    2
  234. It's a waste of tax dollars on something most people don't want... that's why people aren't super enthused about some of these.
    2
  235. Yea at least those ones look like they took some effort to coordinate and build!
    2
  236. Ill check it out for the Part 2 video!
    2
  237. Or here's a novel concept ... don't waste public money on unnecessary wars or unnecessary ridiculous art
    2
  238. Thanks for watching Jane! Glad you enjoyed my narration!
    2
  239. Agree to disagree!
    2
  240. Agree to disagree!
    2
  241. Appreciate the update!
    2
  242. Also a good one for this list!
    2
  243. Thanks, glad you find them interesting!
    2
  244. Thanks!
    2
  245. Thanks! Definitely plan to keep both going!
    2
  246. Yea there's some really cool stuff for sure! Glad some of it is being saved!
    2
  247. I disagree
    2
  248. Thanks for the suggestion!
    2
  249. Yep!
    2
  250. Agreed!
    2
  251. I think you're digging to deep into this ... I picked 10 cities that I thought had underwhelming skylines, based purely on my subjective opinion. I'm not trying to make an "argument" per se, or any grand statements about these cities.
    2
  252. I hope they don’t go thru with that… those buildings are an icon in Detroit
    2
  253. Thanks, appreciate the kind words!
    2
  254. Thanks!!
    2
  255. Thanks, glad you found it interesting!
    2
  256. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely look into it!
    2
  257. Yea it's a cool place! Personally Im with you, I love to see something out of the ordinary, even if it is a bit strange.
    2
  258. Detroit has some super cool history for sure, definitely worth a deeper dive than my video was able to get into if you have the time! Thanks for watching, appreciate the kind words!
    2
  259. Thanks!!
    2
  260. This video never said it did.... in fact it explicitly said that that wasn't the case
    2
  261. Thanks for the feedback!! ... lots for me still to learn from the video editing side of things! Appreciate the suggestions, ill definitely do a deeper dive into those things you mentioned to make the audio a little more listenable
    2
  262. Interesting perspective
    2
  263. It is cool! I wish it got more regular use, shame to see it sit as empty as it does
    2
  264. Very cool! I hadn’t heard of that one before!
    2
  265. Crazy that a whole stadium roof can come down with no casualties, but that walkway incident was so devastatingly awful
    2
  266. Thanks!
    2
  267. Its getting a lot better!
    2
  268. Definitely one of the good outcomes!
    2
  269. Awesome! I'll definitely dig into it!
    2
  270. Interesting thoughts Ado! You kinda are confirming the point that the video is making.... a decade into the project and it's still in its "infancy". I'm not rooting against it, I'm just saying it's moving very slow relative to what was being pitched when over $600 million in TIFs were being considered.
    2
  271. That’s a great example of it too! It’s sad how much harder it seems like it is to get things done these days, despite all of the technology we have now.
    2
  272. Thanks, appreciate it!! If you have any specific projects you can think of definitely send my way if ya want… I’m always on the lookout for new projects to write or make videos about!
    2
  273. Thank you!
    2
  274. Why is anyone interested in anything?
    2
  275. All good ones, Seattle definitely was deserving of a spot on this list too!
    2
  276. Very cool stuff!
    2
  277. Thanks!! Appreciate the positivity!!
    2
  278. Agree to disagree! I think its cool
    2
  279. Its number 1 on the list...
    2
  280. Great idea! I hadn't thought of that one but it makes perfect sense to do one like that as a follow up!
    2
  281. Thanks, really appreciate the kind words!
    2
  282. It was a Saturday morning around 11am
    2
  283. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching Doug!
    2
  284. Interesting thought Larry J
    2
  285. Why so Jaxy?
    2
  286. It is definitely odd some of these developments are sooo far out from everything... its hard to believe anyone really thought the plan would pan out
    2
  287. ahh I gotya!! I misunderstood what you were originally saying. Detroit it definitely worth a visit now!
    2
  288. Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
    2
  289. Interesting take...
    2
  290. Definitely mismanagement, possibly the second part!
    2
  291. Appreciate the idea! Ill see if I can figure out a way to add that!
    2
  292. Thanks for watching!
    2
  293. This area is actually very clean and tidy. Two of the people I did see when I was down there were security, so despite its isolated feel, it had a pretty safe feel to it, relative to other parts of the city.
    2
  294. Yep, that's why its on the list
    2
  295. Awhile
    2
  296. Great skyline for sure but to me Austin is too large and gets too much attention to be considered underrated.
    2
  297. Thanks, really appreciate it!
    2
  298. Thanks for watching Jeff!
    2
  299. Thanks, appreciate the kind words! More on the way, every Friday evening
    2
  300. Thanks for watching Philsha! Glad you enjoyed the video so much!
    2
  301. Thanks!
    2
  302. Would love to see it!
    2
  303. Yes, I would argue that Mobile has a more underrated skyline than Kansas City.
    2
  304. Interesting thought Dane!
    2
  305. There were definitely some development related story arcs in there! It's amazing how history seems to repeat it self ... different players and sometimes different results, but for the most part it's the same game.
    2
  306. Thanks!
    2
  307. Thanks for the second part of your comment! (not really sure what you meant by the first part)
    2
  308. Sounds awesome! Definitely would love to get out that way sometime... the pictures look cool but I'm sure its nothing compared to seeing it all in person
    2
  309. Make your own list if you don't like this one
    2
  310. Sounds like your video series is off to a great start, keep the momentum going!
    2
  311. Definitely would help! Honestly, it would be kinda nice if the Walmart down there was still in operation and not an office building now.
    2
  312. Most of these residential developments were private projects, but a lot of the infrastructure projects I make videos about are government projects
    2
  313. Some of it is cool!
    2
  314. Agreed, Columbus is nice!
    2
  315. Agreed! It's crazy that 500+ years later, these are still some of our most spectacular pieces of architecture.
    2
  316. So you agree they dug up a cemetery to build a tower, not sure where we disagree…
    2
  317. The video is not about dictating how these buildings should be preserved or who should pay the bill for it, just simply appreciating some impressive architecture of the past. When it comes to the specific details of how a particular building is preserved, it's always going to be a case by case basis... and there are going to be some scenarios where demolition is the only reasonable solution.
    2
  318. I'm not sure I follow ...
    2
  319. Explain what a cathedral is ...
    2
  320. interesting opinion!
    2
  321.  @Astragoth2  Interesting opinion!
    2
  322. Yea it's great to see Detroit bounce back! It was in such bad shape a decade or two back, that hopefully its transformation can inspire other cities in similar positions!
    2
  323. Appreciate the clarification!
    2
  324. Interesting theory
    2
  325. Definitely some good ones! And unlike the people who are mad I didn't include Philadelphia and Seattle, those ones you listed are actually underrated!
    2
  326. Definitely some bright sports in the city of Baltimore these days!
    2
  327. True, Detroit has some issues still… but the progress is undeniable!
    2
  328. Maybe, but for now they seem about as high as anywhere in the city... 1800-2000 for a small studio apartment, 2200-2400 for a 1 bed room
    2
  329. Haha sounds like it was such a wild place for sure... my ranking for it was definitely debatable. Thanks for watching!
    2
  330. There's too many cool cathedrals! It was supposed to be a top 10 list but then I realized I picked way more than 10 .... this was actually the trimmed down list.
    2
  331. Both gold and silver were mined in Bodie...
    2
  332. Appreciate the suggestions, I'll definitely check them out!
    2
  333. New Orleans and Buffalo are good ones, definitely deserve some consideration for this list!
    2
  334. Both great skylines! Unofficially in my mind when I was making the rankings, I eliminated the top 40 largest cities by population... I felt like that would keep all my choices in the "underrated" category. So that totally arbitrary cutoff kept those two off the list, but they're both cool ones for sure.
    2
  335. I'm a fan of Brutalist architecture ... but I can certainly understand why it has its detractors haha
    2
  336. Thanks! I hope so too 😄
    2
  337. Understood, that’ll be addressed going forward!
    2
  338. Thanks!
    2
  339. Appreciate it! More videos on the way!
    2
  340. Yep, monuments
    2
  341. Appreciate it, thanks for watching!
    2
  342. Agreed! Like so much else in this world right now, it’s just about enriching the select few insiders who stand to benefit
    2
  343. Very cool! I never knew that part of the story!

  344. Thanks!!

  345. Not sure I follow what you are trying to say...
    1
  346. I still don't follow ...
    1
  347. @ I still don't follow ...

  348. Columbus is too big based on my criteria to make this list
    1
  349. How often do you stumble upon Americans talking about quays?
    1
  350. Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching Harry!
    1
  351. Good to know
    1
  352. I wasn't familiar with that one, but it definitely sounds like something that should have made the list!
    1
  353. Definitely a good one for this list!
    1
  354. Thanks… glad you found it interesting!
    1
  355. That’s a good point, I hadn’t thought of that!
    1
  356. I wondered the same thing... seems like someone with his experience would know better than to try to pull that off
    1
  357. That's wild, I wasn't familiar with that one. I appreciate you mentioning it!!

  360. I agree with you about the work from home .... but I'm not sure why that means this doesn't make sense
    1
  361. Yep
    1
  362. That's a shame, I didn't realize there was a second one!
    1
  363. They're cool!
    1
  364. Stay tuned for part 2!
    1
  365. Looks like a good one for part 2!

  374. Great skyline, but to me Boston is too large and gets too much attention to be considered underrated.
    1
  375. Not sure what you mean by this…

    1

  380. I'm not saying the Brightline is the end all be all of HSR... its just nice that there are other HSR projects in the works. Hopefully someone can prove that they can be built in America efficiently!
    1
  381. Agree 100% ... if someone has weird tastes in art, that's totally fine... they can buy it and proudly display it in their living room. The problem is when peoples tax dollars are spent (often times against their will) on weird "art"... that's when it becomes a problem.
    1
  382. Thanks, Appreciate the update!
    1
  383. First time I've heard that! I hear Joe Pera a lot
    1
  384. Appreciate you sharing! Ill look into that one!
    1
  385. There are definitely lots of cool ones!
    1
  386. Agreed!
    1
  387. Definitely, that's a good video idea! I'll start putting together a list ... I know of a few pretty interesting ones
    1
  388. Thanks, appreciate it!
    1
  389. All great points! Definitely will see an increased demand for power with all the new technology, so it's going to need to come from somewhere. Thanks for watching and for the insightful comment!
    1
  390. Please elaborate Pete
    1
  391. Pittsburgh is most definitely on the list... its literally number 1

  413. I don't disagree with the sentiment ... but this video was all about tall buildings.
    1
  414. Appreciate the clarification!
    1
  415. Portland's skyline is definitely a good one! Since I was going for underrated, I felt like Portland was a little too big and gets a little too much attention to be considered underrated... but its definitely scenic!
    1
  416. That would be awesome, I would love to see something as bold and creative as that happen!
    1
  417. Interesting theory…
    1
  418. Me too!
    1
  419. Interesting thought

    1

    1
  431. Its also twice the population of Cleveland
    1
  432. Interesting theory…
    1
  433. Totally agree with your take on it! If someone wants city living, with what they'd spend at the Peninsula, they can pretty much get a spot anywhere in the city with a better social scene and more amenities. If they want suburbs or rural, they probably wouldn't be looking at the Peninsula in the first place.
    1
  434. That's a crazy one, thanks for the suggestion!
    1
  435. which architects?
    1
  436. Appreciate all the support, glad you loved the video!
    1
  437. Lots of good thoughts in there! I too am hopefully that given enough time that it can reach its potential!
    1
  438. Interesting choices... not sure theyre all underrated
    1
  439. Yea it does seem like if not impacting the environment was the goal they coulda taken the super high density concept without making it 100 miles long 🤣
    1
  440. Agreed, at least Rubins' work involves some true engineering and construction!
    1

    1
  443. I'll put it on the to do list!

    1
  459. Its a good one!
    1
  460. Albany!
    1
  461. Agreed! I see so many comments like "art is supposed to spark conversation" ... as you accurately point out, that's part of the equation, but it can't be the only thing an artist relies on. If something was blatantly racist or offensive it would "spark conversation" but it wouldn't be art just based on that
    1
  462. Not sure I follow...
    1
  463. well typically with these complete renovations, there's a tad bit of work and cost that go between those two...

    1
  470. "Barely complete" ... That's kinda exactly what the video is pointing out. A decade after the project kicked off and phase 1A isn't even complete yet. Future phases are years if not decades off.
    1
  471. All good ideas!
    1

    1
  484. Yep, lots of empty space!
    1
  485. Good to know... learn something new every day
    1
  486. That would be pretty cool!
    1
  487. Charlotte's skyline is nice but based on the criteria I was using it was too big to be considered underrated ... its three times the population of a lot of the cities on this list
    1
  488. The scale of that one is just insane to me!
    1
  489. Appreciate it, thanks for watching!
    1
  490. Appreciate the update on that one! I was considering putting it on the list but wasn't sure of the status and if it had been finished or not

  495. Thanks for watching Emily! Glad you enjoy the video so well! I is very thankful for all of you're support :)
    1
  496. Less abandoned buildings though!
    1
  497. For sure!
    1
  498. Fair point! New Orleans is a great one and definitely deserving of this list
    1
  499. Appreciate the suggestion!
    1
  500. Agree to disagree!
    1
  501. Thanks, appreciate it!
    1
  502. Thanks!!
    1
  503. Thanks for watching Charlie, really appreciate the support!
    1
  504. Failure is in fact still a word
    1
  505. Thanks, I really appreciate the positive words!!
    1
  506. Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! And I appreciate the other ideas too! I definitely think some of those will make it into future videos!
    1
  507. Sounds like it deserves a spot on a future list!
    1
  508. Ill put that in the part 2 video!
    1
  509. They were originally the New England whalers
    1
  510. Also a good choice!
    1
  511. Thanks, Glad you're finding it interesting so far!
    1
  512. No Lisa, I am not a heavy drinker...
    1
  513. Agreed! I walk around the city a ton and even though on a map its right down the street from me, its one of the places I go the least because its so hard to get to.
    1
  514. Literally no idea what you are talking about...
    1
  515. That's kinda a bleak outlook on things
    1
  516. Big things are happening there!
    1
  517. Great ideas, appreciate the suggestions!
    1
  518. Yea its a shame it seems like a lot of it isn't maintained the way it should be!
    1
  519. Quite the imagery!! haha
    1
  520. Agreed! That’s my favorite one on the list
    1
  521. Thanks! Appreciate the suggestions, those ones are beautiful too!
    1
  522. That is an amazing one for sure... definitely will be on a part 2 video if I make one!
    1
  523. Yep! Definitely not a total lost cause if the original plans don’t work out… sometimes they can be repurposed pretty successfully!
    1
  524. Agreed!
    1
  525. Interesting opinion!
    1
  526. Both good suggestions! I'm going to need to make a part 2 video!
    1
  527.  @martijnkeisers5900  elaborate...
    1
  528. Overregulation has made it not economically feasible (in many cases) to build affordable housing. "Luxury" housing is the only thing that returns enough financially that the people investing their money can make a reasonable return
    1
  529. Thanks!! Been working on the video editing skills so definitely plan to put more out going forward (and hopefully they’ll be a little more polished than this one 🤣)
    1
  530. Because both are underwhelming for their size...
    1
  531. Nope, never heard of Atlanta. Where is it?
    1
  532. I was thinking the same!
    1
  533. Thanks!!
    1
  534. Interesting observation…
    1
  535. Interesting thought!
    1
  536. I'll definitely check that one out!
    1
  537. It is quote spectacular! I would love to see it in person some day!
    1
  538. Thanks!!
    1
  539. While I totally get where you are coming from, I don't really buy the "well xyz wastes even morrre money" argument. I'm naturally very fiscally conservative both personally and politically, so to me one instance of waste shouldn't be used to justify another. In fact I kinda think the opposite... if we create a society that is inundated with example after example wasteful spending, we start to accept it as normal. Conversely, if we make a point to call out waste... whether it's public art, ridiculous military spending, unnecessary construction costs, political favors, oil company subsidies, etc.... then we can start to build a culture that frowns upon waste, rather than just accepting it as normal.
    1
  540. Thanks for your thoughts Tima
    1
  541. Its unfortunate to see for sure... I'm in Baltimore so we've been dealing with a similar pattern as Detroit. On the bright side it seems that at least right now both are on the upswing!
    1
  542. Thanks, really appreciate it!!
    1
  543. Thanks!
    1
  544. I'm all for not spending tax dollars on rap, televised sports and YouTube channels too. Suggesting that not wanting to spend tax dollars on something is the same as trying to "stop" art is intentionally muddying the waters. I'm all for art in any form.... just as long as the people that enjoy it and the people that benefit from it are the ones paying for it. If your tax dollars were taken from you in order to buy camera equipment and a video editor for this channel, you would be opposed to it, right? It would be completely understandable if you were.... but how would that be any different than these public art projects?
    1
  545. There just a little irony that in the process of calling out a spelling error, you misspelled something and had to edit your comment
    1
  546. Agreed, definitely a game changer for commercial real estate, especially in the really expensive markets you mentioned
    1
  547. Agreed, That’s such a unique building, definitely not a fail! Some brutalist architecture isn’t good but that one is stunning
    1
  548. I'm an anti-environment propagandist? ... because one of the 200 videos on my channel looks at green projects that didn't work out? Seems like a bit of a leap to conclusions.
    1
  549. It does seem quite nice from a quality standpoint compared to a lot of new developments that I've seen!
    1
  550. I'm not being vague because I'm trying to avoid saying anything ... its just that there are lots of issues and the video wasn't intended to be about one city's problems (crime, drugs, homelessness, lack of jobs, poor political governance, etc)
    1
  551. Thanks! Definitely agree with you about those two!
    1
  552. Good to know!
    1
  553. I have indeed
    1
  554. The Walnut Street extension was built, the rest is not a part of that
    1
  555. Happy to hear you found it interesting, thanks for watching!
    1
  556. Exactly what I was thinking when I saw it haha
    1
  557. Thanks! Glad you found it interesting!
    1
  558. You're so welcome!
    1
  559. Nope never heard of them
    1
  560. For the first 200 years of this nation it was in the top 10 in population, reaching a peak of #3 (or #2 depending on how you definite Philadelphia city limits)... now it's #30. It once had a population of close to 1 million, now it is down under 600,000. It was once one of the largest hubs of industry in not just the country but the entire world.... now even by modern American standards its industrial and commercial output is only that of a mid level city. Entire neighborhoods on the east and west side have been leveled to the ground under the city/state partnership called Project Core. So yes, it is a "shell of its former self". I don't say that to disparage the residents of the city (I happen to be one of them) or the people who are looking to turn things around, it's just an accurate historical statement. That doesn't mean theres anything wrong with the city taking on a new role as a medium sized city with limited industry either ... just is what it is.
    1
  561. Home ownership and stable jobs are definitely critical for Detroit to sustain the momentum. I'm totally with you that renovations alone are not going to solve the problems... but hopefully the progress can continue and people will increasingly be proud to be from Detroit and really want to do their part to support their neighborhoods.
    1
  562. There is one there too
    1
  563. Seems like that would make a lot of sense!
    1
  564. The spectacle and commercial side certainly isn’t! I still like the games themselves though!
    1
  565. But you have seen it! Thanks for watching Randy
    1
  566. That's a fair point! In the context that it was being used regarding this project it was intended as a positive ... mostly related to the rapid mass construction, tall buildings, etc. If I remember correctly the story was that Kevin Plank went to Dubai, was impressed with how rapidly the building was happening and said "why can't we do this in Baltimore?"
    1
  567. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
    1
  568. Interesting thought!
    1
  569. Thanks!
    1
  570. Thanks for watching and commenting Mr Gap... it's dedicated viewers like you who not only watch, but also comment that make sure that this content is distributed widely. Thanks again!
    1
  571. No
    1
  572. Thanks, appreciate it! And I hope so too!
    1
  573. I'll have to make a part 2 video!
    1
  574. Care you elaborate on what you mean…
    1
  575. Thanks, really appreciate the support! The google earth videos are from google earth studio... its free but its a more advanced version of google earth where you set different camera paths/zoom in/zoom out/pan from one place to another ... all kinds of really cool stuff. Then once you've set the camera than you can download the whole thing, which lets you get the better quality. I've only just scratched the surface of what you can do, I'm sure there's some people out there that are able to do some really amazing stuff with it!
    1
  576. Yes John, much smaller. LA is almost 4 million, Chicago is a little over 2.5 million..... which means if Chicago added Pittsburgh and Washington DC to its population it would still be smaller than LA
    1
  577. Thanks! And I appreciate the constructive feedback! I'll keep those ideas in mind going forward. This video was tough to find much for since most of these buildings have been gone for 70 years or more, so unfortunately grainy old pictures were most of what I could find.
    1
  578. Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!!!
    1
  579. Thanks!
    1
  580. Thanks! and appreciate the suggestion, I'll definitely look into it!
    1
  581. Would be crazy for sure!
    1
  582. Part 2!
    1
  583. Agreed!
    1
  584. Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  585. Appreciate the suggestion!
    1
  586. Interesting opinion
    1
  587. Both were bigger in terms of population than cities I was looking for
    1
  588. Agreed! Both Pittsburgh and Detroit are some of the coolest cities in the country
    1
  589. Definitely a good one for the next video!
    1
  590. What about it?
    1
  591. Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  592. Ads that I'm seeing are still asking 1800-2000 for a studio apartment
    1
  593. Thanks for watching Corncob!
    1
  594. Appreciate the suggestion, I'll definitely do some research on it!
    1
  595. Yea I do kinda like the tornado looking one
    1
  596. I'll look into it and see if I can put something together for that!
    1
  597. Hopefully they get through it this time around!
    1
  598. That is a very unique concept, I’ll keep that in mind next time
    1
  599. Will be interesting to see how it turns out, I wonder how the mid sized cities like DC and Fort Worth will fare in all of this
    1
  600. Definitely good to see some of the old stuff being saved!
    1
  601. Thanks for watching!
    1
  602. That would also be a good one!
    1
  603. Definitely!
    1
  604. Currently it is called "The Baltimore Peninsula". It's on the southern end of the South Baltimore peninsula in an area formerly known as Port Covington.
    1
  605. It's definitely open to debate, but ultimately my list was what I thought made the most sense to me.
    1
  606. Agree to disagree on the Prentice Hospital ..... Agree to agree on the Penn Station situation
    1
  607. Definitely an odd mashup of styles there!
    1
  608. Interesting thoughts Mr Fox
    1
  609. Appreciate the suggestions, ill definitely look into those!
    1
  610. Yep!
    1
  611. Interesting thoughts
    1
  612. None in the new development itself, theres a couple a short drive away in locust point.
    1
  613. Thanks for watching Mikey! Appreciate the support!
    1
  614. It's definitely a little over the top, I can't argue with you there.
    1
  615. Good call!!
    1
  616. Most of the downtown area seemed pretty clean when I was there recently
    1
  617. Kansas City is pretty nice!
    1
  618. Not sure what you're talking about...
    1
  619. Thanks! Glad you found it interesting
    1
  620. Thanks!!
    1
  621. Interesting perspective!
    1
  622. Agreed! Some modern architecture is cool, but at times it does seem a little bland.
    1
  623. Agreed!
    1
  624. Thanks for watching!
    1
  625. Agreed its got a cool one
    1
  626. Thanks, appreciate the kind words!
    1
  627. Glad you found it and glad you are enjoying it so far! Lots more videos on the way!
    1
  628. Thanks for watching Ty!
    1
  629. Thanks!
    1
  630. Thanks, appreciate the kind words! Lots more videos on the way!
    1
  631. Some of it is super cool!
    1
  632. Interesting thought Mandi!
    1
  633. Definitely a different business environment down there! Baltimore has such an uphill battle attracting business... the frustrating part is that so much of the challenge is self imposed by the state and city.
    1
  634. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  635. Interesting perspective Sugarsail!
    1
  636. Nope, didn't miss that part, Johnhump!
    1
  637. It's also much larger and more well known than many on the list ... thus less underrated.
    1
  638. Agreed… sad to see how far off course it has gone from the original intent
    1
  639. Hadn't heard of that one before, appreciate the suggestion!
    1
  640. Glad you found it interesting!
    1
  641. Interesting thought
    1
  642. True, It seems like it'll get there eventually.... been a long road for it though!
    1
  643. Woulda certainly been interesting to see!
    1
  644. Thanks!! Appreciate you watching!
    1
  645. What do you mean tigerphi?
    1
  646. Interesting thoughts.
    1
  647. Agree to disagree!
    1
  648. Probably so! I think I was there either that day or the day after!
    1
  649. Interesting take!
    1
  650. I'm not sure how anything about this video is clickbait...
    1
  651. I don't know much about it, but I'll start looking into it so I can make a video about it in the future!
    1
  652. What do we not agree about...?
    1
  653. Thanks for the suggestion!
    1
  654. Interesting thoughts!
    1
  655. Thanks, appreciate the kind words!
    1
  656. Great spot for that!
    1
  657. Yea I kinda agree ... I like the exposed concrete look, but once they start combining the brick and the exposed concrete it does look a little odd
    1
  658. What part of it doesn't make sense to you?
    1
  659. go on....
    1
  660. found one of what?
    1
  661. Appreciate it!!
    1
  662. 2 is kinda cool, definitely a different vibe than some of the other ones on this list
    1
  663. Who is Louis Kahn?
    1
  664. Thanks!! Appreciate it!
    1
  665. Great to see the progress there for sure!
    1
  666. That was two years ago … you’d hate to see how many unread emails I have now 🤣 But definitely agree about Detroit, it’s on the upswing for sure and great to finally see! Thanks for watching!
    1
  667. I don't really think of that one as being underrated. Definitely a nice skyline!
    1
  668. Yep! Typos happen
    1
  669. I definitely will, thanks for the suggestion!
    1
  670. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  671. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  672. Definitely high up on the list!
    1
  673. Says who?
    1
  674. Thanks, appreciate the clarification!
    1
  675. Thanks for watching Juansa!
    1
  676. Definitely a bizarre one!
    1
  677. For the low low price of $22 million!
    1
  678. Appreciate the heads up! I was having issues with copyright stuff on the music so it probably cut all the audio, not just the ambient music
    1
  679. Interesting perspective
    1
  680. Is it trespassing to go on it or is it public?
    1
  681. Definitely a fair point ... for me id just prefer that the money wasn't taken away via taxes in the first place. The private sector certainly has its issues but it seems like it trumps the public sector when it comes to efficiency just about every time.
    1
  682. You have a fair point, I 100% agree that functionality is definitely a concern... but I also don't think it would be fair to say these old buildings serve no function. Sure, they may be less efficient than ultra efficient offices with cubicles packed in them, but they still provide usable space. Its definitely a balancing act and every situation is a little bit different, but to me in the 1960s things swung way to far towards an emphasis on efficiency, being "modern" and large scale centrally planned redevelopment projects. While all of those things have their place, I think it's also important to value history, architecture, beauty and culture as well.
    1
  683. Definitely worth a stop if you're somewhere in the neighborhood!
    1
  684. Thanks, really appreciate the kind words!
    1
  685. Interesting perspective Leon!
    1
  686. Thanks! Appreciate it!
    1
  687. Fingers crossed! It's been great to see some much change for the better since then!
    1
  688. Thanks!
    1
  689. Very cool, wasn't familiar with that one!
    1
  690. Thanks!!
    1
  691. Thanks! Will do!
    1
  692. Appreciate the support and positivity, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!!
    1
  693. Thanks for watching Gerald! Glad you enjoyed the video edit so much!
    1
  694. Its a nice one but not underrated in my opinion ... obviously its more dramatic than Mobile Alabama, but I feel like its comparing apples and oranges.
    1
  695. The video clearly states that the stadium reopened after the multimillion dollar fixes and has been in use ever since.
    1
  696. That is a beautiful one!
    1
  697. Yep, inflation is a thing
    1
  698. Thanks!
    1
  699. I disagree, I feel that Anaheim should be included!
    1
  700. To me Detroit is getting enough attention now that I have a hard time calling it underrated anymore. Great skyline and great to see the improvement though!
    1
  701. You would be incorrect
    1
  702. Thanks for watching bud!
    1
  703. Thanks for watching!
    1
  704. The name changed
    1
  705. Thanks for watching!!
    1
  706. Glad you enjoyed it so much bud!
    1
  707. Elaborate Danny....
    1
  708. Interesting theory
    1
  709. Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching Jano!!
    1
  710. No problem! Glad you enjoyed it.
    1
  711. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  712. Central Ohio
    1
  713. Definitely didn't go as planned!
    1
  714. Thanks!!
    1
  715. Thanks for watching!
    1
  716. I'm not familiar with that one, appreciate you mentioning it! I'll definitely look into it for a future video!
    1
  717. Very surreal scene for sure!
    1
  718. Thanks, appreciate it!!
    1
  719. Thanks!
    1
  720. Thanks, Appreciate it!
    1

    1
  724. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  725. Thanks! Glad you liked it!
    1
  726. It's definitely a well thought out layout compared to some others that I've seen! I still have hope for it, but I agree it does seem like it'll be a long time before it gets there.
    1
  727. Not sure what you mean…
    1
  728. Thanks!!
    1
  729. Not sure what you mean, Mr Beavers?
    1
  730. Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  731. threw in a bonus
    1
  732. That's wild, Bet it was crazy to see that thing up close!
    1
  733. Part 2 is in the works!
    1
  734. Good suggestions! Those are definitely deserving of a spot on the list!
    1
  735. Interesting thoughts Jeffem
    1
  736. It is cool, definitely a very vibrant feel in some parts!
    1
  737. No
    1
  738. No its not
    1
  739. I do understand that
    1
  740. Appreciate the correction!

  741. Thanks!
    1
  742. Thanks for watching! Interesting thought!
    1
  743. Thanks for watching!
    1
  744. I'm back on it! Couple little bumps in the road getting going but I'm back to it and trying to be a lot more consistent now!
    1
  745. Not from last summer...
    1
  746. Thanks for watching Trev!
    1
  747. Also a good one!
    1
  748. Yea I shoulda been more clear about that in the video, but you're pretty much spot on. I was picking cities outside of the top 40 in population .... but number 40 is at like 490k, so for all intents and purposes I was using half a million population as the cutoff too
    1
  749. Interesting opinion!
    1
  750. Thanks, appreciate it!
    1
  751. Interesting perspective
    1
  752. Sad to see it go!
    1
  753. Very true!
    1
  754. Thanks for the support! Its passionate viewers like you who are making this channel take off like a rocket lately!
    1
  755. Thanks!!
    1
  756. Yea that one woulda been really something had it worked out!
    1
  757. Not totally following what you are saying... and/or asking
    1
  758. Glad you found it interesting, thanks for watching!
    1
  759. Interesting thoughts Pete
    1
  760. Almost all of the ones you are mentioning are nice skylines for sure but I'm not sure I would consider most of them underrated.
    1
  761. Thanks! Glad you found it to be interesting!
    1
  762. Thanks for watching Davey! Glad you enjoyed the video so much!
    1
  763. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
    1
  764. Glad you loved the video Kmac!
    1
  765. Lots out there for sure! Its tougher to find info on them though
    1
  766. Nope never heard of it
    1
  767. Will do, appreciate the suggestion!
    1
  768. Thanks, appreciate it!
    1
  769. There were certainly a lot of them... could definitely do a part 2 (and 3 and 4)
    1
  770. Same! Always know you're getting close (ish) to Deep Creek Lake when you see that
    1
  771. Certainly a shame to see them go!
    1
  772. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  773. Also a good one!
    1
  774. Thanks for watching!
