sure doesn't feel like it sometimes! hopefully i can stick around and be a part of the movement!

Bed Bugs thrive there

These are such obvious but genuinely helpful tips! Will be doing this thank you!

Amazing editing and straightforward video, I hope the Big Apple can take some lessons from The Hub. The New York Metropolitan area is abysmal when it comes to bike or scooter infrastructure, very prone to bike accidents on regular roads. We only have "Greenways" in Staten Island, and all the major roads with bike lanes embedded or running alongside them are in Manhattan and the coast of Brooklyn. The only initiative going on for bike/scooter users are the pay-to-use Citibikes, which are kinda useless and more prone to accidents.

Yes, please make a video about DC urbanism!

Hey Tim, glad you're still making videos. If you're interested, take the metro to Clarendon/Courthouse in Arlington and check out the downtown strip (Arlington's my hometown). And the Ballston Quarter area, which has changed a lot since I grew up, though not necessarily for the better since it's become so expensive. Galaxy Hut in Clarendon has a lot of events.

nice! looking forward to it 🙂

As a resident of Boston- it wasn't enough that there is barely any parking. Now there's even less!!

bikers are the absolute worst. great job clogging the roads, creating traffic, and ruining the city!

Great, are there any data on the use of this or these networks and is car traffic actually going down and is there any informatio on how this affects emissions. Would be great if there are numbers that support this transport transition to challenge opponents.

Good info throughout. A nit: Wilshire is “Will-sure,” not “Will-shy-er”

3:24 This is not really a matter of suburban sprawl or "white flight." Boston as the oldest major city in the English colonial US is also tied for the smallest major US city in land area. Add long standing restrictions against tall buildings that date back to colonial times, and there simply has never been enough space to build housing in Boston, horizontally or vertically. The bordering communities remain among the most densely populated in the US, as does Boston. They simply divided the available land into smaller political chunks than, say, Jacksonville Florida, which has nearly 16 times the land area of Boston.

I like the video but almost all the 'suburbs' you mentioned didn't exist because of the 1950s suburban white flight model. Many of them were (and still are) dense multiethnic enclaves that were never annexed by Boston. There is more typical 1950s style white flight suburban development in places like Dedham/ Needham/ Newton/ West Roxbury/ South Brookline etc but Cambridge/ Somerville don't fit this at all.

I will say that many including me commute into Boston and Cambridge from the suburbs for work or school, and there are only two realistic options until you get into the city which is Cars or Public Transportation. I use the Commuter Line to get into the city and the Red Line to get up to Cambridge and if affordable public transportation came more often and biking was used as a more last mile solution for longer distance commuters that together would drive car usage way down. Summary: I do take the trains often, but they can be inconsistent and often service delays and other problems arise that cars just don't have to deal with.

A lot has changed. I used to walk at 8th street going to Olympic blv. for Boba. The intersection at Wilshire I used to work in one of the bldg. there. So many memories.

Great video - I’m probably a latent switcher (in the process) where the driving vs biking commute times into the city are now so close, the protected lanes reduce anxiety, and car parking is that much harder that riding is that much easier of a decision. Some of the earlier initiatives such as redevelopment in neighborhoods and ensuring supermarkets are not too far are making the logistics of using a bike more realistic.

“Los Angeles-Korea Town the old almanac a lot of GREAT times living here 🥲😁 some day soon I’ll come back!!!⏰👍

Reading this title having just biked home from work I DISAGREE I DISAGREE I DISAGREE

I live in Boston and the bike lane madness sucks.The traffic is worse a lot of the bike lanes are far from safe some of them are in the middle of the road in between cars and busses.People driving 200 lb ebikes going 25 mph on the sidewalks it is a free for all a lot of the time it's only great for the people who live within the city, for the 98% of people who have to commute into the city the bike lanes suck.The bike lanes are also empty for at least 5 month out of the year due to weather.

People in big diesel pickup trucks like to put big black smoke in my face because they think i'm a rich environmentalist, hence why they do it to Tesla drivers. They Rev their engines loudly to mock me, pass me too closely and force me off the road.

A huge part of the success here in Cambridge has been the Cycling Safety Ordinance. Basically this ordinance first set a benchmark for building "quick-build" separated cycling infrastructure on 25 miles of specific city streets with a long term plan to upgrade as streets are reconstructed with a date for finishing the quick-build projects. When a bicycle lane inevitable faces opposition the city planners can point to a city law that states that a bike lane would be on a stretch of road by the year X, and then it became a question of how do we use the rest of the street? Do we turn a two way road into a one way with parked cars on either side or do we keep the street as a two way with parked cars on one side? There's still a long way to go in Cambridge and in the rest of the greater Boston area, but we've seen great progress even in the past few years. People on bicycles account for over a third of rush hour traffic at some of Cambridge's busiest intersections, and as infrastructure continues to improve I know more and more people will commute by bicycle. The biggest recent improvements have been the "quick-build" lanes on Hampshire (August 2023), Brattle Street two-way bicycle corridor (September 2023), and the complete redesign and resignaling of Inman Square (2023). All of the success in Cambridge couldn't have happened without having great connections to the adjacent cities of Somerville and Boston, especially the separated lanes on the Longfellow Bridge and the Harvard Bridge and the community path in Somerville.

Interesting, do you think this is rooted from California's Republican roots? The decentralization and needing to get individual municipalities permission for something that's bigger than any single city. Need to read more into it but it's so interesting

Unfortunately in the suburbs the old rail lines have been made into bike lanes instead of repurposing them into light rail. Sure it's great for cyclists but our road traffic is horrendous and the existing subway and rail system is not what you'd call reliable.

Weird question... but where are your glasses from?

Lincoln has built "bike paths" since around 1970. I know of zero biking deaths there. Off-topic babble... Lincoln also had no house numbers or dog leash law until relatively recently. Lincoln's chief of police, Domenic Arena, was on duty at Chappaquiddick. He arrested Senator Ted after he drove off a bridge, killing a woman. Lincoln, in my day,... had zero AA residents, but a number of Asians. Among them, An Wang, the fifth richest American at the time. I sold the chauffer of his stretch Mercedes limo a lottery ticket. An Wang attended all town meetings. Roger Payne, of Lincoln, popularized previously unheard whale songs. Drumlin Farm hosted a huge 60-foot wide radar antenna with a 200 mile range, and is the genesis of the Lincoln Labs /MIT DistantEarly Warning system. The missile silos were in Sudbury. We lived between those bases. Hansom Field was a Strategic Air Command base. B-52's lived there during the American war against the people of Vietnam.

Boston's infrastructure is hell on earth

Black people are taking over

"Keep X moving": it's perpetually the same slogan, time and again, and it's an absurd one, as the only way to have a city moving (rather than remaining stuck in traffic) is to offer viable alternatives to driving. The idiots advocating against bus and bike lanes because they want to "keep the city moving" actually shoot themselves in the foot. They just suck.

Biggest thing for me where I am right now are how the city doesn't give a shit about bikers. Potholes remain in bike lanes and are never fixed, the "lanes" they do have are filled with gravel and the people here are idiots that don't understand bikes and like u said don't care if you die and wouldn't even notice you under the tires of their lifted f150s. They've never ridden a bike for anything other than leisure and believe that's all they're useful for.

White flight = living where you want to live. Stop guilting people into feeling bad for freedom of movement.

i’ve been in ktown since 2010 and right now ktown is split into 3 categories, dangerous homeless people lurking the streets, fun walks throughout the main streets, and overpriced condos and apartments.. that’s all there is here. most the newer condos and apartments complexes you showed are half vacant to this day. They usually start at $2500 for a single(no bedroom just a large single room) and go up to $3900+ monthly.. nobody can afford hose spots. i found ktown to be an excellent area to take long walks and find random people to talk to, i’ve found that a lot of randoms here are friendly

I hope all those bike riders pay for those maintained bike lanes. They should register and insure those bikes to help pay for those lanes

Great video! Think you cycled those images a bit too quickly to take them in at times, but other than that it was very well made

YOURE TELLING ME ! THAT HARVARD IS IN CAMBRIDGE??? WTF LOL

Recently visited Boston for a week. Solely because of the bike lane network and the hire bike scheme I was able to book an AirBnB at a location that would be otherwise very inconvenient. The cyclinc infrastructure has an impact on the hospitality and housing markets as well.

It would be interesting to see a follow up with interviews of the people who were part of the opposition groups, to see if their views on the bike network change once they see the results.

I have always loved biking as a means of transport, but no surprise; I live in the Netherlands. The nr. 1 bike country in the world. I take my bike even with me on holidays to other European countries. I cycled in London UK, Flanders, Munich, Hamburg and Senftenberg Germany.

So very, much $hit ...so, but so little time!!!

My only issue is how he says Willshire. Its Will-sure not WIll-Shire. 😁

What are your thoughts on congestion pricing plan?

how the hell you found acela ticket for $58? the ones I'm seeing even weeks in advance are no less than $158

This is awesome! I think you would like to check out Buenos Aires policies over the past few years on this.

This is an excellent video! Thanks!!!

It’s not the cost of cars that’s the issue for these people, the issue is the parking in the city, plus the stress of driving. The price to park can be more than the cost of the whole car. They could own a whole new car with the money they save by taking the train.

In terms of transit running north-south, the K line will have an extension running through from the E line, future D line station (Wilshire/Fairfax likley) and the B line. While it won't run directly at Koreatown (it's gonna run through Mid-City and Fairfax area), residents will have more transit flexibility soon albeit with a required transfer.

If only Joe Biden pushed for E-Bikes instead of EV's, we all might have been better off. I sold my car 14 years ago and bought a new bicycle instead. Since I retired 2 years ago I bought a shiny new E-Bike which I still do all my chores with except load on public transportation. It took some trial and error to make the switch, but it has been well worth the effort.

Pittsburgh is rough with noise too. And the city loves to put cross walk machines every ten feet special effort to place one outside someone's window!!! Fell for the trendy apartment ad nestle in the heart of the hub bub....12 bars with in 900 ft of my front door. In this part of the city leaders love parades. When I first moved in working night shift a tuba and drums going past my bedroom window. People are paranoid everyone has car alarms that go off nightly for long periods of time. No place to park , paid lot next to my building is free till 8 am....I have 10 parking tickets. Omg the brawl crawl is brutal the next day beer bottles on my front and back steps. Random people knocking on my door at 3 am drunk and confused. But a 2 bedroom hardwood floors gas water garbage included .. huge kitchen and nice size bathrooms large living room ,cats ok no pet deposit, under $900....I wear ear plugs.
