@@jarivuorinen3878 i get what you mean but in this case apparently if you have adapted to the certain noise(living next to train station?), meaning you were born and lived there your formidable years - then you are so used to that noise, that when you move away to a quiet location and try to sleep, you cannot because there isn't that noise your whole being was adapted to. So quiet is stressful until you get adapted to quiet, but that might take some time in example I have given. I for example cannot sleep with slightest of noise because I got used to dead silence growing up in village. City is never that quiet. I use earplugs whole day because the less noise there is the less stressed I feel.

After one particularly brutal trip across Manhattan, I realized that this isn't road tripping - it's more like combat driving. Or urban road warfare. Attention all road warriors.
perhaps the traffic moves so slow that it doesn't rly matter, since the risk of crashing is slim, plus everyone does it, it would certainly suck to be a cop in that traffic too.
@esl4058 1 second ago I’m an electrician who has to drive a van loaded up with tools to job sites. I can tell you that most people on the road not only obey the traffic laws but encourage others to. Whenever you see a car doing something crazy or reckless it’s almost always a cab or a bike. Contrary to what movies show, most cabs in NYC today are not yellow but look like regular cars. You can spot them by their license plates which always start with a T and end with a C (Taxi Cab). Cabs are notoriously awful on the road and bikers do whatever they want. As a pedestrian you have to constantly keep an eye out for bikes even more so then the cars.
So interesting to look at the streets, highways, road incorporations, layouts and of course traffic jams in NYC are very similar to Mexico City! Regards!
Ive been a lot of places. Never been to NYC. But I have seen so many videos of the city I feel like I have been there. I'm great with roads and finding my way around towns. I know I could navigate NYC. I dont know if I would survive it. But I could navigate. I love your vids btw.
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it. I live in a very rural part of Germany. The traffic in New York City is a totally different story to what you will find here.
Some remarks: - Amazing to see so many above ground power lines (on surface streets in the Bronx). That doesn't exist anymore in (larger) European cities. - The streets are sometimes in bad shape. - Most drivers are remarkably relaxed. - When you live in NYC you have to spent a large part of your life in slow-moving traffic (or in crowded trains).
There is a reason why there aren't mice as large as elephants. As size grows, so does the shape and the layout of the animal. The same is valid for countries and cities. It would be prohibitively expensive to lay power cables underground in city (or country) that is much more spaced out.
@@SelfReflective NYC is more densely populated than most European cities. So, per capita, underground cables are cheaper in NYC than in most European cities.
@@SelfReflective Manhattan already has underground power lines. The Bronx can do better. Above ground power lines in parts of a city as dense as NYC is what I called amazing.
visited ny for the first time 10 years ago from ireland, it is amazing how dense the city is...just residential blocks and projects for as far as the eye can see, and driving for miles and miles it seems like you will never be able to escape the place..
it's really not funny. You might think it, in the video, it's funny. The issue is that way too many people think this is OK. And by "too many people", it's literally anyone who is in a rush to get somewhere and can't sit and wait for 10 cars because fuck them, right? It's ME who deserves to be there.
@@Harper210 it's because they aren't thinking of why it's bad. All they're thinking of is that I, ME, I AM THE ONLY ONE THAT MATTERS. It's pure ego, and that's why it's not funny to me. I live in an area (all the way across the country) where this happens all the time, even to me when there's a mile behind me yet the guy "NEEDS" to merge in between me and the other guy in front of me. People aren't thinking about safety when driving a 2 ton piece of metal at 65 mph. They're just thinking about how I need to get somewhere, if even that. I hate to go political a bit but this kind of reasoning is also the BEST argument against the second amendment, as much of a gun nut I am, given people can't be bothered with a PRIVILEGE, not even a RIGHT.
That corner White plains RD and East Tremont at the 8:15 video time is a crazy. Crazy with double park cars going into the insurance place at the corner plus all the vehicles from the repair shop and auto body shop that litter the streets, double park.
Living in New York City is like dancing through the streets, where every corner holds the promise of a new adventure and opportunity waiting to be embraced. I enjoyed your video🗽🗽
While I live in Europe, I think this is something to be said about not only New York City, but North America in general. Namely that your towns, cities and endless suburbias are like living organisms with the number of stores being higher per capita, the traffic more severe, but also more motional and as you say, there’s something going on and to pay attention for at every street. My experience in Europe is that our urban areas and street life are generally more stagnant and sterile in comparison
@@user-hu3iy9gz5j I don't know where you're from but in United States it is only like that in large cities and mostly just Los Angeles Chicago NYC San Francisco and maybe Seattle and Miami, the rest is equally as stagnant and sterile, even more than most European towns
people have no idea until they actually see how bad it is around the nyc area. Driving around here has definitely contributed to me having anxiety these days.
Dzjeez, those roads are in even worse shape than those in Belgium or Bulgaria. And that's from personal experience. I do remember amazingly bad road-surface in Chicago, 1989. Mind-boggling, Third-World like.
Thanks for awesome video. It's my uncle's dream to visit USA, most specially NYC. I was thinking of putting money aside and gift him for his birthday both sides ticket, but then I saw how expensive even the cheapest accommodation is in there. I would have to go with him, because he doesn't speak English.
Your videos are very interesting. I have to say Manhattan would be a bit too much for me. I come from an environment where it is quiet and little happens. If I come to New York one day, I need a few days to process everything in my head. But once in my life I want to come to new york.
I live in Connecticut and I love visiting NYC. A few areas can get a bit sketchy though. The South Bronx is NYC's most dangerous neighborhood in my opinion.
So the more I see of New York and the surrounding area the less likely it seems that the 1967 version of Peter Parker/Spiderman would have had much of a web slinging/building climbing lifestyle unless he was spending most of his time in downtown/uptown Manhattan.
And i thought my city in Cities Skylines had bad traffic flow. God damn. I was getting stressed from just seeing you drive these roads. Fyi, i live in a small town in Sweden (25k population)
