"It's like a city inside a city." Yeah, that would never happen in England. Especially not a city with a confusingly-similar name to the much larger city that surrounds it, which is the bloody capital city of the country.
In Russia, the largest city in the Moscow Oblast is not Moscow, because the Oblast doesn't even include Moscow proper, as Moscow is its own thing. So that's fun.
the city of London is cool it predates England by quite alot the entire region was named after it was a Roman fort that the entire region came to be named after Rome fell but the fort stayed and I don't mean just the fort I mean the government they never fell they is a line of succession from the Roman mayor's of the city the oldest recorded of the city is a treaty recognizing the special rights they have had since "time and momoreum"
The London that surrounds the City of London is the region/county of Greater London, it's not a city. The city is London, the other city is Westminster, the other places are boroughs and towns of the county of Greater London. Confusing yes but it's not a literal other city in a city. Similar situation in Manchester actually with Greater Manchester, Salford and Manchester
As an American, I’m impressed that a British guy knows so much about American cities! Sure, it wasn’t 100% accurate (i.e. Long Beach is cheaper than LA, not pricier), but he seems to know more about American cities than most Americans. Not to mention, most of us couldn’t talk about a foreign country for half this long without having to stop to use Google. Nice work!
Its called Tampa Am and Tampa Pro. It is not only real but probably the biggest, relevant and longest lasting contest in skateboarding. I think it has been going on for I wanna say like 40 years at least. I could be wrong about the time frame but its been a thing for as long as I've been skating and thats over 20 years.
The only time I drove through there I almost had a serious crash on the highway. Someone swerved in front of the overloaded, largest-sized UHaul I was driving
As an Italian; I absolutely adore Texas. In Europe, and even other American cities I’ve been to (LA, Chicago, and New York) people are very hurried and not very personable. But I’ve kept going back to Texas because the people are so friendly, and I never could’ve imagined the geographical distance, and difference between Houston, Austin, El Paso, and Dallas, which amazed me.
Distance is a very common misconception when it comes to America vs. people abroad. Traveling within a large state like California, Texas, or Florida can be like traversing up to 5 entire countries in Europe. It's always best to think of American states the way you would EU member states, if you want an idea of distance. Also, the seaboards are largely covered in megalopolises, where you might travel hundreds of miles without ever leaving urban areas, so even though you feel like you're just taking the freeway across the city to your destination, you're doing it for 6-12 hours. Compare the deserts or the central plains, where you can drive 6 hours with little more than gas stations and convenience stores interrupting the drive.

I live in Minneapolis and an interesting thing about downtown is that we have the skyway that connect buildings, but we also have tunnels that span all of downtown that connect the buildings too.
@@missminecorn7446 Not exactly. A condo is specifically a unit that is owned by the occupant, typically purchased using a mortgage just like a house; condos are always "for sale". An apartment is specifically a unit that is for rent (or "to let", I believe you'd say in the UK). The landlord owns the apartment in order to rent it out to strangers for income. If you own a condo, then move out and decide to put it up for rent, it would become an apartment.
Detroit was where they made cars. Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Milwaukee were all major industrial centers due to their location being at the then-center of the US's population, relative proximity to sources of raw and processed materials, and being on the Great Lakes and/or large navigable rivers. It's all about logistics.
Мэтью Захоу , not bad for someone who's learned it because of an interest. After all, both cities were put in their correct state--Wisconsin. Hey, it's a start. What's really bad is Americans asking someone from a European country if theirs (let's say Germany) is an island. Duh! Then, there are school kids in Minnesota who don't know the country to the north is Canada; and kids in Texas not knowing that Mexico is the country to the south, when they're both bordering on that country. What's worse is that, sometimes even adults are guilty.
Apartments are the general term. I own an apartment, but I call it an apartment, and its not a condo. A condo is a specific type of way you can own an apartment.
@@yaacovdavidowitz4502 In the US, if you say 'apartment', it means you don't own it. If you own it, it's called a condo. There is no concept of 'owning an apartment', unless you mean you own the apartment building. At least in the US.
I felt that one too! I love Chihuahuita and El Segundo Barrio and have called them home; but they aren't a good representation of our city. They are in the poorest area code by far. I wish he had at least stumbled by the Plaza or Old Fort Bliss where you can get the flavor and history of El Paso while being as super zoomed in to the border as he was.
Rylen Cason Other things are valid, nothing inherently wrong with Mexicans. Some individuals aren't the best, but its same for all other races including white. Don't generalize, it makes you look ignorant. It reflects poorly on all Republicans
I've been to El Paso several times to visit my father who lived there a few years back. Every time I got there, there was trash blowing in from Mexico (the wind was always constant). Just trash everywhere, saw people littering everywhere. Houses all run-down. I haven't seen every part of the city but every spot I saw was just poor, run-down and badly kept. I also genuinely felt unsafe there.
As someone from the Phoenix area, yeah, Mesa is literally just a large subarb Also Tucson lol it's pronounced too-son but it's fine, mispronounce away. The real rivalry is Phoenix and Tucson, not Mesa
Christian Anderson downtown mesa is starting to go somewhere. I mean covid screwed it up but they've been trying. The lds church (or you know one of the companies it owns) is creating a mall (but Fiesta mall is 3 miles down and is abandoned?) or something and a lot of apartments which tbh look great. And then ASU is going to open up a little campus in downtown mesa too. So there's hope! Haha. I'm just hoping my home value increases given that I'm semi near lol
For me it was hilarious hearing him talk about how it is in the middle of the "high speed rail between Northern and Southern California." As if we had any real public transit in CA, the lack of a lightrail is a sore issue for may.
As mad as people get about it. I find it funny how people talk crap about Texas and republicans for that matter about public transport and infrastructure. Yet Texas is in 8th for the best infrastructure, most major cities in Texas have at least a light rail(or plan on adding one pretty quick), and is the state that seems the closest to getting high-speed rail first with Florida right behind us…🤷🏼♂️😂👍🏼
Fresno is also famous for not being Bakersfield. :-) P.S. I live in Fresno. One of the things that makes Fresno a great place to live is what is nearby, rather than what is in the city: to wit, Yosemite, King Canyon, Sequoia, and Pinnacles National Parks as well as that portion of the Sierra Nevada that is between Yosemite and Kings Canyon. We can also easily day trip/weekend trip to the Monterey Bay area and the San Luis Obispo/Pismo Beach area.
hey now... this isn't the early 90s, so don't be silly. It's all about heroin/fentanyl & meth in 2020. Crack (& also cocaine ) is a lot harder to find these days, and way weaker in quality than it used to be.
2nd that. I know some people who bought a Condo and said they enjoy the condo feel, but in my mind, why would I buy an apartment... I rather buy a house.
your correct. Thu you own the condo usually still pay a condo ass0ciation fee. People buy condos to own the property. The condo fee generally covers any cost to the up keep of the outside including lawn service, if it has lawn.
tskjesusfreak: People buy a condo because they want to own something and have equity and be able to do all the modifications and changes and upgrades they want and still not have the upkeep of the yard or all the maintenance and expenses of air-conditioning a full house especially if they want to come and go and they are single. But condos can be huge. Even rich people live in apartments in New York. I’ve owned both a house and apartment and there’s pros and cons of each. The gated resort condo community I’m in now though has three pools and hot tubs that are open 24 seven and heated all winter that I don’t have to maintain. Plus the HOA fee covers unlimited water garbage cable TV landscaping pools everything else.
For a second, I read that wrong, and thought it said that all NC State, Duke, And UNC were all in Raleigh, and as someone who lives just outside Raleigh, that bothered me so much, until I read it correctly

The reason VA beach has such a big population is because it covers a large land area which is all largely suburban with a little urban sprawl at places like Town Center. Land wise VA Beach is one of the largest cities in the nation.
Me, an American from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma’s knowledge of the same cities: New Orleans: Great City! Tons of history and culture. Still somewhat of a tourist trap. Tampa: No clue. Big city in Florida. Arlington: Been close to. Know it for AT&T American Football stadium. Tulsa: TULSA! Land of old money from oil booms long ago. They have a great art museum financed by the oil wealth. Minneapolis: Disappointing, but it’s not your fault. I went there to see a hyped-up shopping mall, which was much less than advertised. Very cold. Oakland: I know of their NFL team but nothing else. Virginia Beach: Big intelligence community there. Omaha: Known for steaks. Raleigh: Fast-growing. Miami: Known for beaches. Colorado Springs: Drove through there two years ago and don’t remember it much. Kansas City: Known for barbecue, as a result of it’s cattle driving history. Atlanta: Please annex your suburbs! Sacramento: California capitol. Know two friends from there on Discord. Mesa: No clue. Fresno: Heard of if. Tuscon: 2nd biggest city in Arizona. Pronounce it TOO-SAWN. Albuquerque: LOVE IT! Go there. Just go. Milwaukee: Known for cheese and beer. People from Wisconsin can be called cheeseheads as a pejorative. Baltimore: Only know it for crime and shrinking population. Louisville: Never been there, but my ancestors lived there for a few generations before moving further West. Las Vegas: My knowledge of this place doesn’t extend past the CGP Grey video. Oklahoma City: Home. Known for 1995 terrorist bombing and not much else. Memphis: Known for being the home of Elvis Presley, therefore music. Home of the Blues music genre. Portland: I want to live there so much! Nashville: Home of tons of Country music genre stars. Detroit: Automotive manufacturing in the past. Shrinking population. El Paso: On the border and it had a massacre last Summer. Boston: Snobby universities on the outskirts. Heavy Irish history. Washington DC: Capitol. Built on a swamp. Denver: been there. Great airport. Seattle: The more popular Portland. Indianapolis: I know nothing apart from the Formula 1 tournament. Charlotte: I know that it’s a big city. San Francisco: REALLY? Is it only Fifteenth? Horrible gentrification. Columbus: Capitol of Ohio. Jacksonville: Basically all of North Florida apart from Tallahassee. Austin: I know a lot of people that move there and appear to love it there. It has a scenic river through the city. San Jose: I’ve barely ever heard of this place outside of the 60’s song. How is it this big? Dallas: No. Get out. Horrible traffic. I only go down there for their IKEA and one time to attend an NHL game. San Diego: America’s Pacific Naval hub. On the border with Mexico, with Tijuana on the other side. San Antonio: Only know it for the Alamo memorial. Philadelphia: The real center of the US’ early history. Likely would’ve become the capitol if not for D.C.’s creation. Phoenix: Fast growing city in the middle of the desert. Wouldn’t exist without air conditioning. Houston: Flooded horribly three years ago after a hurricane. Chicago: Bad reputation, but I actually really like it. Tons of museums to see. Los Angeles: Absolutely MASSIVE! NEW YORK, NEW YORK: There’s something just magical about it. It’s almost legendary, at least on this side of the Atlantic, for being the starting place. Nearly all immigrants from Europe came into this country from an island just outside the city. Just listen to the Frank Sinatra song. Hundreds of years of history and the most Dutch influence of any large city.
Your mistake with Minneapolis was seeing MoA. It's a thing to do but is just a kitschy tourist trap with more niche stores than your typical mall. Also sounds like you made the mistake of visiting outside of May thru September. Most people from points further south aren't used to just how cold it can get and how comparatively early it gets to "cold" temperatures for other parts of the country.
33:58 Detroit was the home of the car as Henry Ford lived there and made the car affordable with the new idea of the production line of cheap Model T's, as well as the home of the founders of GM and Doge, making it the spot for all later car companies to put there headquarters. Hens why it's called the Motor City.
Yeah the just go Like "Detroit is a terrible city to live him" and gives little thought about how the world's first successful Automobile came from here and Henry Ford lived there.
Come to Milwaukee, (M'wah-kee) post covid, especially in the summer. We are very proud of the different ethnicities we have here, and there is a festival every weekend for a different culture. Also it's not the capitol of Wisconsin, it's actually like a smaller, more navigable version of Chicago. We don't have as many traffic jams, unless you go by the festival park for Summerfest, or something.
mrcreepercraft48 it would be 51st actually assuming no state is removed for New Orleans to take its place which it probably wouldn’t be. It has less population than Wyoming which is #50
As someone from Virginia, I think Virginia Beach is heavily populated because people go there to retire because it is a beach and cheap to live there. Also there's a lot of Navy/Air Force bases there, so people move there to work in the military.
For Atlanta’s airport, I had a plane ride out of there (we were connecting from one flight to another in Atlanta) about two weeks ago. The gate we got in from the last plane was “close” to the gate we had to get to. We walked there for about 20 minutes. Then, after getting on the plane, the plane had to take a while to get to the runway, then waited in a line for about 25 minutes. The airport is huge.
Amazing video once again mate! Three extra facts to supply: Tucson is pronounced Too-sonn Nashville is famous as the Hollywood of Country & Western Music You might know San Diego Zoo from Anchorman!
As a person from Albuquerque I can confirm that A) Breaking Bad is essentially public school here B) Gary Johnson is from here and C) You only have to get a 60% on the driver's ed test to pass, thus the traffic incidents
@@sandman5587 In fairness, he clicked on the downtown area of El Paso, which legitimately does look kind of run down in parts. Also there's not really a ton of noteworthy things to say about our city, other than Chico's I guess.
41:55 I really would recommend anyone visiting Colorado to take this train. It is called the California Zephyr and it's the most gorgeous ride you will ever take. I'd recommend stopping and staying Glenwood and enjoy the massive hot springs pool !
Atlanta, Georgia also has the 2nd most sprawling metropolitan area in the US (after Hickory, NC), and is also the most forested major city in terms of percent of tree cover in the US.
@HP I really enjoy when the King and Queen buildings light up for Christmas. Also some nutjob went in to one of those buildings and started shooting (this happened in the 90s if I'm not mistaken)
I think your knowledge of the 50 largest cities in the United States is pretty much on par with most citizens of the US. Very well done for a Brit. 👏🏼🇬🇧 (Most people in the US don’t know all that much about places in the country where they don’t live)
Itz Pro well, there’s a lot of reasons. Shitty neighborhoods, generally bad people, crime (which I know is basically a given in any American city but still noteworthy) the only important thing here is government. Then there’s homeless people galore, and it’s also a pretty small city. It does look nice in pictures of buildings like the museum and the capital building, or maybe the egg, but that’s about it. It’s just your average sparsely populated American city.
Hey man, great video, just got wanted to clarify one thing for you. The San Francisco-Oakland bridge is commonly known as the Bay Bridge to local Californians.
New Orleans: French influences city in the middle of the swamp with good food and music Tampa: Generally Florida’s forgotten big city, pretty nice from what I’ve heard Arlington: Glorified suburb, known for the home of the Dallas cowboys American football team Tulsa: big oil production, second biggest city in Oklahoma Minneapolis: Minnesota’s largest city, and is the twin city to the state capital, St. Paul Oakland: One of the largest ports on the west coast, a city that had a bad reputation but is getting expensive Virginia Beach: Spread out suburban like city, more like a group of neighborhoods than anything Long Beach: also has a big port, basically an extension of LA Omaha: Really nice zoo, biggest Nebraskan city, good steaks, rich guy Raleigh: capital of North Carolina and a big tech hub Miami: Big city on the beach known for retirement and a place people go for vacation Colorado Springs: big city near the mountains wrong US Air Force academy and US Olympic facility Kansas City: Known for its steaks and winning the Super Bowl this year Atlanta: major transport hub and a center of African American culture Sacramento: capital of California, big on agriculture, home to the Kings basketball team Mesa: This is basically a cancer cell that got really out of hand and is infecting Phoenix Fresno: Agricultural center and is basically the central point of California Tucson: Big city in the desert Albuquerque: Tucson with mountains and culture Milwaukee: cheese, beer, and a charming accent Baltimore: lots of crime and urban decay, very historical city that has a major port Louisville: Kentucky’s largest city and cultural center, known for college baseball and basketball Las Vegas: Tacky shithole in the desert with lots of homelessness Oklahoma City: Generic name, decently nice city Memphis: good music (Elvis lived here) and high crime unfortunately Portland: very liberal and hip. Lots of nature and is generally a nice city Nashville: Barbecue and lots of country/folk music Detroit: urban and economic decay for decades, looked down upon as a third world place, is on the rise El Paso: Large city in the desert on the border Boston: America’s historical center with lots of Irish culture and top tier universities. Washington: U.s capital trying to be Paris Denver: most important city in Colorado, at the foot of the mountains Seattle: A larger version of Portland with more rain and more Canadians Indianapolis: Racecars, outside of that, it is very generic Charlotte: North Carolina’s largest city San Francisco: very liberal and dense, know for earthquakes, mild weather, and great scenery Columbus: Possibly the safest city on this list, very nice, good zoo, massive university Fort Worth: twin city to the much more famous Dallas Jacksonville: Speeadout, swampy city with beaches and a big river Austin: one of the fastest growing cities in US, very clean and beautiful, good food and music San Jose: Tech capital of the world and the most expensive city in the United States, largest city in Northern California Dallas: A big city on the prairie known for being the epitome of a Texan city San Diego: great beaches, great weather, great food, basically LA, but better in almost every way San Antonio: Basically a really big city known for being a huge military hub Philadelphia: America’s other historical center, very important in our history Phoenix: Hot, sprawling, city in the desert known for being just that Houston: Biggest city in Texas, similar to Phoenix, except it floods, still hot as hell Chicago: City perceived to be unsafe by the media, but has great food and great attractions Los Angeles: Hollywood, gangs, beaches, traffic, really good food, amazing weather New York: Great attractions, awesome food, packed with culture and history, America’s most iconic city
I just skimmed but saw a couple of things that were oddly off. San Antonio is called the Alamo city. You mention military, and the guy in the video mentions Hispanics. Lol what's going on here. Alamo and Riverwalk are typically what people know it for. Detroit is the motor city known for Ford, and famous for going from successful to a piece of trash city. Chicago isn't perceived to be unsafe by the medic, it is unsafe to American standards and the media tries to ignore it. Also famous for gangs since Al Capone all the way to 2021. Vegas is known for casinos, gambling, sin city. Seattle is known for coffee, drugs, and psychos.
@@thecensoredmuscle563 I'm from Seattle and that's wildly incorrect mate Although the homeless problem sucks but that happens in most cities that's what wealth inequality is for ya
The reason why Virginia beach has a large population despite the city proper being relatively small is that the former town of Virginia Beach Resort and county of Princess Anne merged in the 1950s to form the independent city of Virginia Beach. The city is actually a collection of mostly suburban communities in addition to the boardwalk area.
Garret Barber it’s part of LA whether you like it or not. It’s just a place for people who don’t want to be part of LA to claim they’re special. Same goes for the other cities you mentioned.
Itz Pro technically yes it’s separate, but let’s be honest it’s all part of LA. It’s like me saying that central London isn’t a part of London. It makes no sense. But I guess that’s America in a nutshell huh
8:11 that's funny because Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland all have huge Somali communities (and in Helsinki Somalis are the third largest minority) and Minnesota has many Nordic people and lots of Nordic influence
Washingtonian here. Baltimore is actually worth visiting. Yes, there are problem areas that the city doesn't seem to have any interest in improving, but there's also a lot of interesting places to go. Baltimore focuses largely on its east side, and there's quite a number of things to do. I don't get there much, but I do like the city.

Greetings from Louisville, and the Kentucky Derby run here is a very big event. So big in fact that the Oaks (the race of female horses ran the day before) is a local city holiday that we all get out of school for. Some derby traditions are Derby Parties where people usually draw a horse from a hat and if that horse wins they win money. Derby pie is usually made or bought from a store, and people (women mostly) wear elaborate Derby hats. And Louisville has its own airport but the Cincinnati Airport is technically in Northern Kentucky and is only about 40 minutes away, so it’s also popular if you can’t get a flight out of Louisville
If there’s one thing someone should know about Norfolk, Virginia, it’s that it’s our version of a city like Bremerhaven. The American Navy has two main hubs; one for each ocean. Norfolk for the Atlantic, and San Diego for the Pacific.
I'm from Boston and my first impression of Dublin when I visited is how much it felt like Boston, so I appreciated that you also saw the Irish connection.
I just want to point out that mount trashmore is exactly what it sounds like. It is a mountain of trash (an old landfill) that was covered with grass to make a park.
Condo and apartment are both individual units in a bigger single building, but you rent an apartment and own a condo. The quality of a condo unit is usually better than an apartment unit. A management company that owns an apartment building fixes stuff in your apartment, provides appliances, etc. But for condos, members in the building pay an "association fee" each month to cover maintenance costs for the building as a whole.
Jacksonville has such a large population because its city limits make it the largest city in the contiguous United States...by a lot. It's land area is gigantic. In fact, it's land area is about the same size as many other metropolitan areas in America.

As an Italian; I absolutely adore Texas. In Europe, and even other American cities I’ve been to (LA, Chicago, and New York) people are very hurried and not very personable. But I’ve kept going back to Texas because the people are so friendly, and I never could’ve imagined the geographical distance, and difference between Houston, Austin, El Paso, and Dallas, which amazed me.
glad you had a good time. love from Texas
Distance is a very common misconception when it comes to America vs. people abroad. Traveling within a large state like California, Texas, or Florida can be like traversing up to 5 entire countries in Europe. It's always best to think of American states the way you would EU member states, if you want an idea of distance.
Also, the seaboards are largely covered in megalopolises, where you might travel hundreds of miles without ever leaving urban areas, so even though you feel like you're just taking the freeway across the city to your destination, you're doing it for 6-12 hours. Compare the deserts or the central plains, where you can drive 6 hours with little more than gas stations and convenience stores interrupting the drive.

I live in Minneapolis and an interesting thing about downtown is that we have the skyway that connect buildings, but we also have tunnels that span all of downtown that connect the buildings too.
A condo is owned by the people that live there while an apartment is rented. Otherwise, they're exactly the same physically
So, for the landlord, it's a condo and an apartment for the tenant?
@@missminecorn7446 Not exactly. A condo is specifically a unit that is owned by the occupant, typically purchased using a mortgage just like a house; condos are always "for sale". An apartment is specifically a unit that is for rent (or "to let", I believe you'd say in the UK). The landlord owns the apartment in order to rent it out to strangers for income. If you own a condo, then move out and decide to put it up for rent, it would become an apartment.
@@99Stutz Thx for the clarification. My two brain cells couldn't quite grasp the first comment:)
A condo is basically still an apartment because you have to pay fees to enjoy amenities in the building.
Why
You rent an "apartment" but purchase a "condo", generally
What if you lease-purchase?
I thought only fancy beachside apartments were called condoes. Like New York has apartments, Miami has condoes.
@@sohopedeco Miami has favelas
Condos are also usually bigger and I've never seen one over 3 stories
Or time share your apartment.
Detroit was where they made cars. Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Milwaukee were all major industrial centers due to their location being at the then-center of the US's population, relative proximity to sources of raw and processed materials, and being on the Great Lakes and/or large navigable rivers.
It's all about logistics.

, not bad for someone who's learned it because of an interest. After all, both cities were put in their correct state--Wisconsin. Hey, it's a start. What's really bad is
Americans asking someone from a European country if theirs (let's say Germany) is an island. Duh! Then, there are school kids in Minnesota who don't know the country to the north is Canada; and kids in Texas not knowing that Mexico is the country to the south, when they're both bordering on that country. What's worse is that, sometimes even adults are guilty.
11:46: Condos are owned while apartments are rented. The units pretty much are the same
yep^ just a naming convention to specify between a multi-family housing unit which one is owned (condo) vs one is rented (apartment).
Apartments are the general term. I own an apartment, but I call it an apartment, and its not a condo. A condo is a specific type of way you can own an apartment.
@@yaacovdavidowitz4502 In the US, if you say 'apartment', it means you don't own it. If you own it, it's called a condo. There is no concept of 'owning an apartment', unless you mean you own the apartment building. At least in the US.

I felt that one too! I love Chihuahuita and El Segundo Barrio and have called them home; but they aren't a good representation of our city. They are in the poorest area code by far. I wish he had at least stumbled by the Plaza or Old Fort Bliss where you can get the flavor and history of El Paso while being as super zoomed in to the border as he was.
Rylen Cason Other things are valid, nothing inherently wrong with Mexicans. Some individuals aren't the best, but its same for all other races including white. Don't generalize, it makes you look ignorant. It reflects poorly on all Republicans
I've been to El Paso several times to visit my father who lived there a few years back. Every time I got there, there was trash blowing in from Mexico (the wind was always constant). Just trash everywhere, saw people littering everywhere. Houses all run-down. I haven't seen every part of the city but every spot I saw was just poor, run-down and badly kept. I also genuinely felt unsafe there.
As someone from the Phoenix area, yeah, Mesa is literally just a large subarb
Also Tucson lol it's pronounced too-son but it's fine, mispronounce away. The real rivalry is Phoenix and Tucson, not Mesa
Christian Anderson downtown mesa is starting to go somewhere. I mean covid screwed it up but they've been trying. The lds church (or you know one of the companies it owns) is creating a mall (but Fiesta mall is 3 miles down and is abandoned?) or something and a lot of apartments which tbh look great. And then ASU is going to open up a little campus in downtown mesa too. So there's hope! Haha. I'm just hoping my home value increases given that I'm semi near lol
It's just full of trailer parks lol I used to live there but moved to Phoenix

For me it was hilarious hearing him talk about how it is in the middle of the "high speed rail between Northern and Southern California." As if we had any real public transit in CA, the lack of a lightrail is a sore issue for may.
As mad as people get about it. I find it funny how people talk crap about Texas and republicans for that matter about public transport and infrastructure. Yet Texas is in 8th for the best infrastructure, most major cities in Texas have at least a light rail(or plan on adding one pretty quick), and is the state that seems the closest to getting high-speed rail first with Florida right behind us…🤷🏼♂️😂👍🏼
Fresno is also famous for not being Bakersfield. :-)
P.S. I live in Fresno. One of the things that makes Fresno a great place to live is what is nearby, rather than what is in the city: to wit, Yosemite, King Canyon, Sequoia, and Pinnacles National Parks as well as that portion of the Sierra Nevada that is between Yosemite and Kings Canyon. We can also easily day trip/weekend trip to the Monterey Bay area and the San Luis Obispo/Pismo Beach area.

11:46 a condo is owned by the person an apartment is rented. (from my understanding)
2nd that. I know some people who bought a Condo and said they enjoy the condo feel, but in my mind, why would I buy an apartment... I rather buy a house.
your correct. Thu you own the condo usually still pay a condo ass0ciation fee. People buy condos to own the property. The condo fee generally covers any cost to the up keep of the outside including lawn service, if it has lawn.
the timeshare is the pyramid scheme he was talking about
Condos are owned by groups of people
tskjesusfreak: People buy a condo because they want to own something and have equity and be able to do all the modifications and changes and upgrades they want and still not have the upkeep of the yard or all the maintenance and expenses of air-conditioning a full house especially if they want to come and go and they are single. But condos can be huge. Even rich people live in apartments in New York. I’ve owned both a house and apartment and there’s pros and cons of each. The gated resort condo community I’m in now though has three pools and hot tubs that are open 24 seven and heated all winter that I don’t have to maintain. Plus the HOA fee covers unlimited water garbage cable TV landscaping pools everything else.

San Diego: America’s Pacific Naval hub. On the border with Mexico, with Tijuana on the other side.
San Antonio: Only know it for the Alamo memorial.
Philadelphia: The real center of the US’ early history. Likely would’ve become the capitol if not for D.C.’s creation.
Phoenix: Fast growing city in the middle of the desert. Wouldn’t exist without air conditioning.
Houston: Flooded horribly three years ago after a hurricane.
Chicago: Bad reputation, but I actually really like it. Tons of museums to see.
Los Angeles: Absolutely MASSIVE!
NEW YORK, NEW YORK: There’s something just magical about it. It’s almost legendary, at least on this side of the Atlantic, for being the starting place.

Your mistake with Minneapolis was seeing MoA. It's a thing to do but is just a kitschy tourist trap with more niche stores than your typical mall.

The gate we got in from the last plane was “close” to the gate we had to get to. We walked there for about 20 minutes.

jeeze, you should come see Milwaukee sometime. we do indeed have a very charming accent.
The reason why Virginia beach has a large population despite the city proper being relatively small is that the former town of Virginia Beach Resort and county of Princess Anne merged in the 1950s to form the independent city of Virginia Beach. The city is actually a collection of mostly suburban communities in addition to the boardwalk area.
Condos are usually owned after fully paying off the mortgage or you can buy it out out right. Apartments are usually for rent.
I refuse to believe that cities like long beach are cities. you live in LA, stop lying to yourself
Liam Benn it’s a city in the greater Los Angeles area, that’s like saying Santa Monica or Burbank isn’t a city
Long Beach has its own city center so I count it as a seperate city
Garret Barber it’s part of LA whether you like it or not. It’s just a place for people who don’t want to be part of LA to claim they’re special. Same goes for the other cities you mentioned.
Itz Pro technically yes it’s separate, but let’s be honest it’s all part of LA. It’s like me saying that central London isn’t a part of London. It makes no sense. But I guess that’s America in a nutshell huh
@@liambenn1214 Long Beach used to be a separate city but yep, Suburban sprawl at its best in America
8:11 that's funny because Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland all have huge Somali communities (and in Helsinki Somalis are the third largest minority) and Minnesota has many Nordic people and lots of Nordic influence
Apparently the Nordics are attractive to the Somalians
Washingtonian here. Baltimore is actually worth visiting. Yes, there are problem areas that the city doesn't seem to have any interest in improving, but there's also a lot of interesting places to go. Baltimore focuses largely on its east side, and there's quite a number of things to do. I don't get there much, but I do like the city.

Greetings from Louisville, and the Kentucky Derby run here is a very big event. So big in fact that the Oaks (the race of female horses ran the day before) is a local city holiday that we all get out of school for. Some derby traditions are Derby Parties where people usually draw a horse from a hat and if that horse wins they win money. Derby pie is usually made or bought from a store, and people (women mostly) wear elaborate Derby hats. And Louisville has its own airport but the Cincinnati Airport is technically in Northern Kentucky and is only about 40 minutes away, so it’s also popular if you can’t get a flight out of Louisville
If there’s one thing someone should know about Norfolk, Virginia, it’s that it’s our version of a city like Bremerhaven. The American Navy has two main hubs; one for each ocean. Norfolk for the Atlantic, and San Diego for the Pacific.
I'm from Boston and my first impression of Dublin when I visited is how much it felt like Boston, so I appreciated that you also saw the Irish connection.
San Francisco attracts business DESPITE being blue? Yeah, and I guess Seattle and New York and Boston are just lucky too.

Microsoft was founded in Albuquerque. My old art teacher went there too, from Canada.

I just want to point out that mount trashmore is exactly what it sounds like. It is a mountain of trash (an old landfill) that was covered with grass to make a park.
Condo and apartment are both individual units in a bigger single building, but you rent an apartment and own a condo. The quality of a condo unit is usually better than an apartment unit. A management company that owns an apartment building fixes stuff in your apartment, provides appliances, etc. But for condos, members in the building pay an "association fee" each month to cover maintenance costs for the building as a whole.
Jacksonville has such a large population because its city limits make it the largest city in the contiguous United States...by a lot. It's land area is gigantic. In fact, it's land area is about the same size as many other metropolitan areas in America.
Those transitions between cities killed me ahahah
Great video! I’m actually contemplating moving to Tuck-son. You know a great deal about my country. Very impressive. Keep up the good work. I’m interested in traveling to Bulgaria and your channel was recommended with the Bulgaria joining the Euro in 2024 video.

So you know, Memphis is generally known for Elvis, Martin Luther King Jr., and all the shipping with Fed Ex.
Surprised that he didn't think of the Alamo for San Antonio.

I was born and lived my first 26 years in Fresno. You didn’t miss anything in your commentary.
My husband is from there and each time I visit it's this weird twilight zone... it's like a massive compact of conservative farming towns that joined all joined up so it reeks of methane and manure. What really kills it for me (pun intended) is all of the smog that sets in there from LA and the bay area. Fresno is #1 most polluted city in the US as a result. Unsurprisingly, asthma and respiratory diseases are SUPER common for people who live there too.

"Hookers and cocaine."
