Is This Europe's Best Designed Neighborhood?
People value excellent urban design. And that's a great thing! However, great urban design can also make areas expensive. Nordhavn in Copenhagen is a fantastic neighborhood with incredible urban design practices. It's also pretty pricey. In this video, we'll look at why good urbanism can make places more expensive and a few solutions that could alleviate the issue.

    Texans need to attend their city council meetings. You'd be in shock how they talk there. New homes? Better cost $750k, don't want the "riff raff" in our town. Plus, no one shows up to local elections. We need to vote some of these greedy idiots out of office. Those apartments are why Dallas and Austin are growing so fast. It's absolutely miserable to go anywhere, and they're luxury apartments that no one can afford. Your rent costs the same each month as a mortgage. There's still no affordable housing.

    All these places in CPH are almost always empty, especially around Sydhavn, Sluseholmen, Ørestad and much of northern Amager (excepting of course Islands Brygge, in the old part of Amager). The new ones are lifeless. People don't like them. Oh, hey, and actually the footage in the video reflects this! Not sure that the theory of why this kind of place-making works, is aligned with what happens in contemporary reality.

    The concept of talking about affordable housing, and pairing it with the Nordhavn area, falls flat on its face! The city townhall struggled through most of the 70'ies, 80'ies and 90'ies with low tax incomes. And doing away with the "affordable" part, meant that only families with high incomes can afford these neighborhoods. Yes you will definitely need two incomes to live here.

    The apartment has not banned cars. They just use parking lots on the exterior of the complex - just like every other aratment complex in the area. Sorry, but I live in the area and know it well. It's nothing fore than a typical apartment complex hyped up to increase the rents. Worse, it offers less protection from the 8-10 months of high AZ heat than the apartment complex next door. It's all phsyical virtue signalling.

    Living in Jutland, Mainland Denmark, we the 3.5 million people, the main part of the danes, are all impressed how Copenhagen are spending the billions of Dollars every year, coming from agriculture and industrial production far, far away from the Copenhagen Island. Every factory in Copenhagen closed down in the 19 eighties , because the lazy working force, were not competitive enough. Now everyone there is living of subsidies from the state, and having “jobs” in the administration, without any productive content at all. Follow the money. 😎🇩🇰

    this video is extremely misleading as california's population decline and rise in housing prices was because of more apartments being built on single family zoning land, increased taxes and bad politics, european cities are extremely unaffordable because of their high density development, and all high density development does is make the government richer, like in europe. And people fail to understand mainly poor people that more high density does not mean cheap housing, learn economics first

The entire project was done over our heads, and the only people who use it are tourists and wealthy suburban people with too much time and money to spend. Copenhageners ourselves don't go there, and wish it had never been changed.

    Brainard, as locals call him, had a bold vision for what Carmel could/should be. He garnered cash from annexing the outskirts of city limits very early in his tenure (late 90’s). This gave much better civil services to the citizens thru road improvements including divided two lane roads with pretty trees in median, roundabouts at every intersection with “nice” art or landscaping, as well as Carmel PD and Carmel FD (both best in country imo). These services were previously county services and mediocre at best. Also, Carmel has the best snow removal in the state. They get after it! We are more know for our roundabouts. Over 140 and less than 5 intersections in entire city have stop lights. With a city over 100k residents, that’s impressive! Brainard is a HUGE reason you’re seeing roundabouts nationwide. Brainard hosts city planners and mayors from around the world all the time showing what’s possible. Whether it’s Sunday morning or rush hour, to get from one side of town to the other takes almost the exact same time…they’re so efficient. If you could see what a sh!!thole downtown, midtown and city center was before Brainard, you’d be shocked. He’s got a sharp mind and had a great vision. This man knows exactly what taxes each lot is pulling in for the city. And as a resident, our property taxes aren’t flipping the bill for the amazing amenities we have (too many to count). This is done through bringing professional businesses into Carmel and filling the TIF coffers with their tax dollars. To give an idea on taxes, I pay under $4k on $600k home. That’s stupid cheap for what we get!! Now…Brainard wasn’t always transparent with how things were getting done but it’s probably because it’s too complicated to explain in two minutes. However, you could NEVER complain about the results. That’s why he won with no issue every election. In regard to public transit, we’re a suburb. You need a car for your daily life. However, the central hub of our community has great walking accessibility and plenty of free garages. Carmel offers so many free concerts, art fairs, a fun front porch weekend where local musical artist play solo or with their bands on people’s front porches through the downtown area. We have artomobilia which is an amazing weekend car show of exotic cars. My point is, we don’t have everything everyone wants or desires, you’ll need to go to heaven for that. However, through Brainard’s vision, he has created a great sense of community and pride for Carmel through our downtown development. We’re proud of our city. Example, he changed all the WELCOME TO CARMEL signs this summer to SWIMTOWN USA because we had 3 Olympic swimmers from Carmel competing in Paris. For every resident seeing those signs; there’s pride. For every guest entering Carmel; there’s awe and appreciation. As a Carmel grad and Carmel resident, I’m very very proud to call Carmel home. As for the Carmel haters, know this….an overwhelming majority of residents aren’t from here. They came here through work or because our quality of life and affordability (relative to where they came from…California,Chicago,etc). They are predominantly duel income families with a college education. They choose to raise a family here because the schools are amazing, we’re the safest small city in America, and they want the best opportunities for their kids. They are normal people. Do we have our a-holes and Karen’s? You betcha! But your town does too! An overwhelming amount are amazing and very generous people…just like YOUR TOWN! So if you’re a Hoosier and play Carmel in sports, stop chanting “we hate Carmel”. Be a good Hoosier and hate Purdue 😜 And to the lady that called us racist, please come back. I don’t know your experience but I don’t want to believe it. We are actually quite diverse here and interconnect with each other. My direct neighbors are an Indian family, an Asian family, a black family, a white old fart retire couple 😊 and young family with little kids. And we have the best get togethers. …and I’m a middle aged white dude with wife and kids. ……We’re all in this together !!

    Nordhavn is expensive because byoghavn has to payback the largest loan in EU. Good urban design has been done to justify the high prices, but not necessarily the driver. Cph is becoming more expensive because there are more and more new Copenhagen’s and housing supply cannot follow the demand. On the top of that; construction costs increased 45% since 2021, and capital costs increased from 0-5%. The high quality of life offered by the city, through good urban design accelerates demand, prices increase due short supply. Good urban design is not necessarily for the few, and can be delivered at lower costs

      Seems to be a lot of well-considered statements that contradict the inference of most that the entire city of Carmel is some sort of mixed use nirvana. Truth is that 90% of Carmel still looks an awful lot like suburbia USA, and with high taxes, zero public transportation (not even bus or trolley service), and the car-dominated suburban sprawl, it's got a long way to go in its quest to be radically different.

    Ive worked building Carmel, Noblesville and Zionsville and Fishers for 50 years. What I hear a lot is that folks move to Carmel from other states thinking it's the promise land and realize they can't stand the people. Then they typically sell and move to Nobolesville, Zionsville, or newly revitalized places throughout Indy. My personal 50 year experience is that there are very nice folks throughout Carmel. Except it does have a lot more individualist types that act like they are better than others. I always tried not to contract with most of Carmel businessmen because they were known dishonest. Yet again, not all Republicans are dishonest. Except most didn't get wealthy through honest hard work, if you know what I mean.

    Who brought the drugs in America THE EUROPEANS let's be clear about the history. They Targeted the inner city. No one in the inner city owns planes or boats which is how the drugs get into America. They brought it to American low income areas to destroy the colored culture and it did from the late 60's to the present I watched it with my own eyes. Now that the EUROPEANS have done Gentrification the urban cities they expect everything their Grandparents and parents created to just go away. The colored culture have been dealing what you are seeing now for over 60 years in their community. Now that we have Gentrification in the cities it's all of a sudden a big problem. Hopefully the EUROPEANS will wake up one day and realize it's an American problem and they will really crack down on drug trafficking. So we can reclaim our neighborhood's again. When the EUROPEANS take the ownership of what they have done and try to correct it American can be an amazing place to live again.

Simply squeezing more tax out of the same people is what most towns are doing now, and it forces out everyone but the extremely wealthy.
