@@PresCities in fact there are two vancouver, one in british columbia and another in washington. it is not uncommon for several cities to have the same name,
Biggest issue of course is how insanely expensive property is in Vancouver (and in general most of Canada). That and job salaries tend to suck, especially if you're in programing. Salaries don't reflect the property prices. But that's definitely a global trend, Australia and New Zealand also have insane property as does parts of the US. Of course the pandemic inflation that has been going on in 2021 hasn't helped at all.
I have a suggestion. In New Orleans(My home city) they have a district which is called the garden district which has alot of beutiful gardens and mansions, it is a very rich area that has alot of history. Maybe you could use a similar place somewhere in Cabrillo.
Great episode, Pres. Love the detail and the realism you've put into Cabrillo. I feel like a lot of cities in North America are experiencing their own version of Vancouverism. Industries have changed, no longer do you see steel and blue collar undisturbed that ruled in the beginning of the 20th century and of course, capitalism. You don't want to keep those type of neighborhoods in this cities, you have to "keep up with the Joneses" and modernize land no longer being used.
The regulations you were talking about would step the tower back. So basically you had to step the tower back every couple of floors in order to be allowed to have more floors on the tower.
in NYC, developers have to buy the air rights of surrounding buildings to construct the larger buildings. i feel like this kind of back fired though because there are so many skyscrapers in NYC that seems like this rule was neglected🤷🏽♂️
I’ve been to Vancouver once. The thing that stood out to me was the absolute immensity of the city. I’m from St. Louis, which has a pretty small downtown, so looking across the water and seeing a massive wall of brand new-looking residential buildings was incredibly surreal to me. There were also so many buildings under construction, it was a big difference from the past its prime city I’m used to.
I think the whole remote working thing is really interesting. More people working from home will cut down on traffic, obviously, and be better for the environment. Theoretically, it could also help small towns and villages as people could live in them and enjoy the peace and quiet they have to offer, while working remotely with some company in a larger city. Theoretically. How it'll work out in reality is anyone's guess.
I think it depends on the person. some people need to be and a city and go to work everyday, some can live in the suburbs with their family and work remotely.
Your comment about the step-back regulations in New York had me wondering about how the iconic art-deco style would've looked like were architects allowed to build as tall and as wide as they wanted w/o restriction, physically and otherwise. Like a cross between that and the international style. Apparently Wikipedia tells me that it was developed in the same time the Chrysler Building and Empire State went up, so it could've well been a reality.
In my city of Modesto CA which is like a medium sized farming city south of Stockton, we have this place called del rio which is a very beautiful area with mansions and it sits in an onld industrial park on the Stanislaus river and it was refurbished and I think you should build something along those lines maybe near the uni city in cabrillo because it del rip sit just north of the Modesto junior college
It's interesting that you describe people returning to the suburbs as a sort of correction. I've always felt that that was the case. A lot of people are forced to chose big cities over suburbs for economic reasons, and would happily live in suburbs or simply smaller cities. I feel like the pandemic and remote working is just a sort of correction that has people living where they prefer to live, which IMO can only really be a good thing. Honesty, I would love to live in the Second Skyline. It's a good balance of the merits of the city and those of the suburbs. Especially for those of us that prefer the "sterility" and calm of the suburbs but hate the sprawl, mundanity, and banality of the suburbs. Worst case scenario, there are always other interesting parts of the city you can visit easily without a car, which is much harder to do from the suburbs.
I live in a part of Melbourne that is a bit like this currently and it's really not for me, I think as an incredibly working class person the sterile environment makes me feel super uncomfortable in my own skin. That being said it was an awesome build!
You should take a look at Long Island City in Queens, NY. It reminds me a lot of this episode's build. A previously (and still very much industrial area) that now has two skylines, one more residential and another more office/commercial. And in all the old warehouses that have turned over in between are awesome restaurants and breweries!
You're right that the 905 in San Diego is currently a California State road, however they are looking to upgrade it to interstste standards. I believe I-705 is still unused as well. East-West interstates are pretty well tapped out between 80 and 90, but North-South still has I-3, I-7, and I-9 available!
I’ve worked remote for 4 years and currently live in a very affordable small city. I sometimes miss the studio atmosphere and big city but it’s outweighed by the prohibitive cost of living and commute times. I do like working remotely though, and being able to afford a living space large enough to have a nice workspace. I’d love to live in Vancouver, almost relocated there pre-COVID but again, prohibitive cost of living to live anywhere near where work needed me. I’d love to live in one of those townhomes in Second Skyline. Like my #3 choice for favorite living space in Cabrillo currently.
I want to go to Canada so bad this video brought me as close as I can get right now lol ( But I really really wanna go to Ireland) Nevertheless Great Vid Pres cant wait for Episode 13
I'm a Luddite who likes older cities way more than Vancouver; demolishing the Empire Landmark was a travesty and the overall feel of a city where almost every building is white, silver, and glass makes it feel like a bad sci-fi set. Very sterile. Pass from me on living in Second Skyline but you did model it well (maybe consider a better name for the neighborhood).
Ohhh I'm so happy to watch this video been looking forward to it all week. :) I've always loved using these same assets and you make them look so amazing. One realism detail about I-905 that could be totally ignored but I felt the need to bring it up because its such an arcane quirk of California and kind of interesting, but Caltrans has weird rules about interstates not having the same number as state highways unless they're the directly connected, which is oddly why there's an I-238 in Hayward/Castro Valley because they wanted to name it I-180 but SR-180 already exists in the Central Valley so they just upgraded SR-238 to I-238.
As an architectural design student, I think what we will see is more companies having remote workers or having smaller regional offices within a region.
With all the art and Muriels I think you should also make a street or neighborhood that has a very musical background. So music shops, karaoke bars,and maybe like an opera house with a Muriel of Music notes on it. You can call the street note street.
What I don't like about Vancouver is that %75 of the buildings are the same. Very, even too similar looking condos. But to answer vancouver or this little district, Vnacouver of course lol. Don't get me wrong, what you built is very nice, but Vancouver is a whole big city aith everything while what you have built is more remote from the center of Cabrillo, it kind of looks out of place to me. Maybe this changes further down the series but for now, yeah. About similar looking buildings, that's why I love NYC for example. Art deco towers, those boxy towers and modern towers all standing together. Lovely.
Work from home and the population movements out of the urban core is something that I've been thinking about throughout the pandemic as well. My stance is that it will be heavily dependent on the kind of business going on in any given city. San Jose is the bay area's tech center and is relatively suburban, and I think tech centers will be pushed into suburbanising more, where places that are more focused on financial, marketing, government, and education such as SF proper, Sacramento, and Berkeley will continue to hold a strong population of people willing and wanting to stay in the dense urban spaces and where the companies will be prioritizing that as well for productivity.
Nice try pres, but i saw that above ground parking you tried to sneak past us! I think you nailed the Vancouver Vibe. maybe look to Georgia Street right after exiting stanley park for inspiration for the park across the highway. A small marina or house-boats and some of the new quays might fit in nice
2 interchanges are a little close to each other, also if prior industrial area, the interchanges seem rather large. What if you had a tight diamond interchange where the second one dead ends at a parking lot for the bike path along the river
It’s funny you mentioned seconded skyline. A lot of People are moving out of Vancouver’s downtown and moving to places like Surrey. Which is a city I would love to build.
What an amazing district, love the mix of dense urban housing and green spaces everywhere. I would totally live here and hike up this hill as a daily routine!
The remote work paradigm is going to be interesting - some companies are definitely embracing remote work, whereas others look like they're trying to bring people in for at least some of the week. Given that only ~30% of work was done remotely (forgot the source), the actual impact won't be *that* dramatic. My uneducated guess is that it will: 1. Export some of the housing crisis from major urban areas to the rest of the country, where fully remote workers will move to more rural & cheaper areas. 2. Make things worse in outer suburbs of major cities, where a daily commute would suck but 2 or 3 day a week commute would be less horrible. (Anecdotally, this was already a thing for some people I've worked with, making a Sacramento->Bay Area commute a couple times a week. I think this'll become more common.) 3. Slow down the crisis within major cities, but not by much. I've already heard it as a NIMBY argument for "oh, we shouldn't build "dense" affordable housing near the train station, everyone can work remote now", which is lovely.
If you want to build a nuclear reactor in cabrillo I would recommend looking at Ranco Sceo just outside of Folsom CA. P.S Sacramento is doing 3rd wave Vancouverism in the old rail yard area.
My hot take: wfh will actually benefit urban centers and hurt suburban development. As more companies switch to either part or full time wfh, they’ll need less physical office space (or any at all). This means the supply of office spaces will increase, and the price to rent an office space will decrease. Now, if your a company looking to get an office space, would you rather one in your metros downtown, or an office park in the suburbs? Companies like having their offices in office parks since it’s cheap, but if the price is the same to have an office in the cbd, I can’t see any reason they wouldn’t want to move. And I don’t see wfh/post pandemic having an effect on where people (especially young adults) want to move. Our current generation wants walkable neighborhoods with plenty of things to do, something you can’t have in traditional suburbs. And if my prediction that more companies will move downtown is correct, then for most young people getting a job, there’s no reason for them to want to live out in the suburbs/exurbs, unless that’s the life they prefer.
Love the build. Just curious, do you ever build Essential stuff like hospitals and police precincts or fire stations. Out here where I live in Des Moines Iowa we have large areas just dedicated to medical buildings. Hospitals and clinics and the likes. Would love to see a major hospital build in cabrillo. Maybe near the college area. Keep up the great work.
I would love to live close to the city but the kind of space I would like for the price I can afford does not exist there. That being said in Atlanta the only thing being built outside of the core now are townhouses which have space and are denser than single-family homes.
I think you just said Vancouver is located “in such a beautiful area….some of the best geography in the United States.” Unless I totally misheard that….it’s in Canada.
To be honest I don't particularly like Vancouver. I think its a shame that they destroyed a lot of really historic houses. I understand that making somewhere more dense is good and making parks and encouraging walkability is great, but its a shame they couldn't do that while preserving some of the old buildings. Would it not be possible to make somewhere high density by converting houses into flats, splitting lots, and building new houses in the spaces between old ones? So no, I probably wouldn't live in Vancouver or Second Skyline.
I don't mind the sterility. I'm a boring middle class nothingburger; I'll happily take powerwashed pavement, chain restaurants with predictable menus, and painfully inoffensive modern art sculptures. I do wish the Vancouverized districts had more architectural character, though. The South Waterfront district in Portland could easily be mistaken for Vancouver itself if you didn't have the GPS coordinates on hand. Regardless, I'm probably resigned to the suburbs for life now that I'm growing trees; there just isn't space in urban areas for gardening, at least without penthouse budgets.
Would you consider sending part of the highway below ground and putting a park over top to connect the urban area to the waterfront better? Check out "I95 cap" in Philadelphia for inspiration (I'm sure there are others).
You could just call it Vancouver lol, that's what Oregonians would do/have done. Never in my life have I been so confused about where people were talking about... every single city in town in OR is named after another city I stg
he was talking about vancouverism, not the actual city lol. Maybe if you spent two seconds watching the video instead of coming down to the comments to flaunt about canada you would have known that.
Great episode as usual! Just an observation about commentary, hopefully you see it as constructive criticism, but you're using "you know" as a filler word and it gets said about once every 2 sentences or so. I'd try to be a bit more conscious of it, it's a pretty common public speaking mistake to try to fill every pause. Don't be afraid of pausing! It makes you sound more measured and authoritative whereas the constant use of filler words ("like," "um," and in this case, "you know") leads to the speaker sounding nervous/anxious.
I’m not a huge city guy, I love the suburbs. The space, the exclusivity, the home-y-ness. However, I do hope that this mass-exodus doesn’t result in the downfall of urbanity. I think cities and people who live there are healthy to our social and economic ecosystems. We’ll see though, only time can tell.

This looks eerily similar to Portland's South Waterfront, which is sandwiched between I-5 and the Willamette south of downtown
This also looks a lot like the redeveloped south Portland waterfront

A dockside ship museum would be cool. A destroyer or cruiser would fit the dockside perfectly.

he was talking about vancouverism, not the actual city lol. Maybe if you spent two seconds watching the video instead of coming down to the comments to flaunt about canada you would have known that.
I wouldn't live in Vancouver downtown cuz all the building looks the same
Future project idea, sink the highway below ground, use some of the surrounding now above land for more development.
that might be a flooding disaster
Great episode as usual!
Just an observation about commentary, hopefully you see it as constructive criticism, but you're using "you know" as a filler word and it gets said about once every 2 sentences or so. I'd try to be a bit more conscious of it, it's a pretty common public speaking mistake to try to fill every pause. Don't be afraid of pausing! It makes you sound more measured and authoritative whereas the constant use of filler words ("like," "um," and in this case, "you know") leads to the speaker sounding nervous/anxious.
thanks for pointing that out!
@@PresCities Again I'm not trying to be rude at all! I LOVE your content. Like I said, just something to be conscious of. You're awesome though!
I’m not a huge city guy, I love the suburbs. The space, the exclusivity, the home-y-ness. However, I do hope that this mass-exodus doesn’t result in the downfall of urbanity. I think cities and people who live there are healthy to our social and economic ecosystems. We’ll see though, only time can tell.
WILL YOU FILL IN THE EMPTY SPACE IN DOWN TOWN
You do know Vancouver is in Canada ????????? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Va va va
Why are you copying Columbia City
