  1. My neighborhood has a corner store. It’s called QT.

  2.  Mastodon1976  At this point I don’t think they could be. If the US government tried, Amazon has the means to move out and take the jobs and revenue generation with them, so as not to be subject to whatever legislation or court decision tries to make that happen. And surely congress realizes this and doesn’t want that to happen.

  3.  @ericvulgate  Halliburton? I’m not familiar with what that is at all. Please enlighten me.

  5.  @davidlafleche1142  Socialists dream of a society in which no one actually has any property or money of their own to tax.

  7.  @johndaugherty7465  good point. The Corporate Republic of Amazon is sounding more viable every day.

  9.  @HarryLovesRuth  with most Phoenix employers that offer free transit passes, the majority of the people who work there still choose to drive at their own expense.

  10. A friend of mine's dad got his living room remodeled at the expense of an insurance company because that happened.

  11. Charles Kummerer in Phoenix there’s an entire city park located above a freeway

  13. Yep. Only the homeless and destitute use public transportation in Texas.

  14. Dan SW this!!! It’s a real issue where I live in Phoenix. And so often people stop at intersections where there isn’t a stop sign, which makes it super awkward when you’re stopped at a stop sign at the same intersection. I just sit and wait to see how long it takes for the other driver to realize they stopped for no reason.

  15. That would make it like being at work 24/7 for employees. After the shift is over, they want to be the hell away from there. They also don’t drive on the strip. They enter employee lots off Frank Sinatra & Sammy Davis Jr, then hop on I-15.

  16.  @Game_Hero  I’m riding the bus because my car has been broken down for the last month, and there are fights all the time on the busses. It’s not a safe place for children, and hardly anyone is on there by choice.

  17. Tim S if you’re on foot, bike or scooter, there is more often than not no other route. It’s not that hard to yield and drive around when you’re in a car.

  18. And now instead we have a growing homeless population and people living in tents wherever they can get away with pitching them.

  19. This exactly. The strip is what it is because it’s exactly what the powers that be want it to be. Also because the taxi union is run by the mob, is very powerful, and is not about to lose any business to public transit.

  20. langhamp8912 it’s sort of like a modern natural selection. Birds that don’t learn to fly are left to die.

  21. But isn't that communism? lol... The reality is the government doesn't make enough money that way. The money is made by selling to developers with deep pockets.

  23.  @RefikTayyibOzturk  wheelchair accessible public sidewalks are absolutely necessary

  24.  @erickhan6349  Most likely it would be cheaper. The advantages of taking high speed rail from Dallas to Houston are that it should be notably faster (comparable to flying) and allow someone to relax or do work on the ride.

  27. Simple. You live in a big private house with a garage or carport, and drive everywhere like everyone else.

  28. I like Sunset TC a lot, and recognized it immediately from using it to transfer to route 48.

  30.  @colormedubious4747  I sure hope you’re right. But with all I’ve seen watching local politics, especially in Vegas, I’m pretty doubtful. It sure would be great to fly there and take the monorail downtown, though. I live in Phoenix and usually drive as it ends up being cheaper and easier than the combined expense and hassle of flying and renting a car or paying for taxis and ride share. I do actually enjoy walking there just the way things are, though.

  31. PongoXBongo I bet you can’t find me the phrase “round-robin” in any US traffic law.
    1
  32. PongoXBongo So you’re 100% right about US roundabouts, although I can’t think of any offhand that don’t have yield signs. OP specifically commented on unregulated intersections, which to me would mean a crossroads (not a roundabout) without any signage (not a 4-way stop). Although I do see what you describe happen, I’m fairly sure the law first goes to simple right of way: traffic going straight has right of way over traffic turning, and traffic turning right has it over traffic turning left. All other things being equal, the car on the right has the right of way. This also applies to all-way stops.

  33. That makes sense. That’s how most airports are as well

  34. He also continently neglects to mention that I-35 is a busy international shipping route. It was built for the amount of traffic that was on it over 50 years ago, and the population along the length of it has increased exponentially. Expanding it to accommodate the traffic on it now is the only sensible solution.

  35.  @danielkelly2210  over 1,000 of those people are homeless

  36. PongoXBongo in theory, but you say that like people here on bicycles follow rules. Most major streets like Thomas Road and 44th Street have cars driving 45mph+ and no bike lanes, parking lanes or shoulders, so even though bicycles and scooters are supposed to be on the street most people ride on the sidewalk so as not to get hit by a speeding SUV and cut across wherever there’s a break in traffic.

  39. My daughter's boyfriend works there at Intel, but always drives there from his apartment in Beaverton even though it only takes 20 minutes to walk to the Max station at 158th from his apartment.

  41. Don’t miss the diversity at 0:22. Must have that in every YouTube video, even though it doesn’t match the actual demographics of a neighborhood like the one shown.

  42. @ghost mall there's a Fred Meyer's and Costco walking distance from 158th just stations over.

  43. Santa Rosa had a really nice and happening mall like this when I lived there in 1989. Can anyone tell me how it is today?

  44. Borni Ekellem as envisioned by Disney I’m sure it would’ve been way out of my price range. I’d be at the Days Inn 20 miles away.

  49.  @pilotgrrl1  this is a really big issue that I find odd was completely ignored in this video, especially considering how most of his videos lean into people living in such places instead of single family homes.
