I love when Jack shares some knowledge, I had no idea Spain built their cities that way but that's really damn cool! Also, you seem to have had a slight population boom, you've been at 68k receny rising up to over 80 and man, you definitely deserve it o7
man in the city where i live, a lot of drivers drive a bit bad leading it to being a bit slow... guess that's what it's like being in the south-west of france.
A lot of us major cities boomed at the same time automobiles started becoming easily accessible and common commodities. And that heavily affected our mindset concerning city layout and planning, most of our cities were literally built AROUND the concept of cars, while cars were introduced into European cities.
Idk if youve seen RTGame before but his city skylines videos are so entertaining and I cannot recommend them enough whether you react to them or just watch them on your own time
When the settlers first came to America, they thought they came to Eden, since the forest paths used by the natives went through all the best gathering spots one could ask for. They thought god had made a paradise for them in New World. Then they cut down all those forests and paths to farm on those lands.
You are absolutely right to crap on the US' absurdly poor street design. We very literally handed over our entire streetscape to cars. Everything is designed around moving them faster. Even here in NYC, one of only two or three US cities that is genuinely pedestrian-focused, the streets are still way too CarBrain in their design. And anytime anyone tries to change that, people lose their minds. It is.... FRUSTRATING. To put it mildly.
Even for being designed for moving cars faster, it seems they've missed the mark a little, by mainly having intersections far more than roundabouts. Albeit, I am sure you would probably have a good answer to why there isn't as many, would it not work for U.S citizens, does it intimidate them or similar to the reason you shared?
A bit of both. We have them in DC, and you can watch cars with plates from beyond the DC area struggle to navigate them, since they aren't used to them. Otherwise, Americans are just WEIRD. They have unusually high levels of brand loyalty, for-instance. Americans do not like to change the way they do things, especially if that change is coming from "outside." Probably an extension of the country's founding being a product of this sensibility: "you can't tell me what to do, mom!" The same thing happened with introducing Metric. The US started stubborn by its nature, then doubled down on that stubbornness when it became a superpower, convinced that it knew best, because, how else did it become a superpower? That sound you hear is me rolling my eyes. @@norXmal

28:55 Well, if you visit Houston or Dallas, where Civil Engineers go to die, you will not JUST encounter a stack interchange. You will encounter a quad-stacked stack interchange. I kid you not.
Stacked interchanges are pretty common here in America. The one near me is to transfer from the freeway to a highway. If I recall correctly the ramps are banked specifically so you can maintain your speed when transferring highways which allows traffic to move faster through them.
28:52 I've actually found quite a few stacked interchanges when I travelled to the netherlands a couple of years back, mainly in the area of Den Haag and Amsterdam
So as of the last like 10 years or so I’ve seen a shift here where towns are trying to make the roads more walk/bike friendly while still keeping car travel the main priority since they kind if have to because people travel a lot further for work and other things here than a lot of other countries. However, just in my own hometown, this has caused a big issue. People here still do not use the bike lanes, nor walk, so the only thing that has been done is they’ve reduced many of the roads from 2 lanes each way down to 1, lowered the speed limit, and created merge lanes all over the place. All this has actually done is made travel much slower and way more of a headache because now traffic backs up way more and there’s now more bottle neck areas. If we want to reduce traffic levels here and create more walkable/bikeable areas, we can’t just reduce traffic lanes to 1 and put a bike lane down and add more sidewalk and put crosswalks at every intersection. That is not what will get people to use it. It honestly needs to be a culture change thing. Although, with the prices of everything going up and up so much, I could see people saying fuck it and choosing not to drive their car to waste gas since it’s so expensive and riding a bike instead just to save some money. But in terms of traveling for anything else like work or other things that are any decent distance away, it’s just so much easier and faster to drive. And there’s just no way around that here. Unless you are lucky enough to live by a train station and the train goes to a place where it’s then feasible to walk or bike to where you need to go like for work. Then that makes the most sense, and lots of people do do that here if that’s the case. Especially those that live outside of a major city but work in it. The main issue is city planning. Our country is young enough that a lot of our area was developed as the car was being developed. So places were built around the car. Vs in countries that had cities and towns built for hundreds-thousands of years before cars, they were basically self sufficient towns and cities built around walking so the streets were narrow already and there was lots of land outside the cities so they were easy to walk or bike around and then became easy to connect all these places by train because of the land in between. There weren’t as many “destinations” people would want to travel to in between the larger areas compared to here where especially on the populated areas like the north east, there’s not really a break in civilization. So creating any kind of train network is difficult because you have to either have trains going everywhere, which takes up a lot of space and is stupid, or have select destinations. Which is how we have it here, so you can travel to big city and big populated areas, but the places in between you can’t. And there’s still a lot of businesses and what not in between and reason for people to travel there. So if you work in a place in between, it makes no sense to take the train to a stop that’s still then 20 miles away. We just have so much infrastructure here it’s kind of not really possible at this point especially since it was built so late that a lot of it was built with car travel in mind. We absolutely could fix a lot of that with better bus travel and a better bus system, but as it sits now it’s not great, and the bus system in a lot of places is overtaken with druggies and crime and nasty shit. And the routes are also typically more aimed at the ghetto where bus use is more prevalent because it’s a poorer area so more people typically can’t afford a car. If we boosted our bus infrastructure and cleaned it up and made it more efficient, then we could definitely see a bigger reliance on that for travel which would definitely cut down a lot of traffic. The only place you really see walking/biking being that common of a thing is in major cities. For obvious reasons. A the traffic is worse, and B it’s typically easier to walk to all your needs as businesses are a lot more packed together in a small area. So walking is actually viable. But we just have so many people still outside of those big cities it just makes it too difficult
On the plus side you wouldn't have to manage citizen happiness, just make sure it's structurally sound and produces enough stuff to not have the whole population drop dead.
the french roundabouts are 2 types of dangerous: the ones that are just a marking on the ground, meaning you can barely see it, and then there is the death zone called the Champs Elysees

on the topic of homelessness in the US. the situation isn't great overall however. it is particularly bad in california. and more specifically, los angeles and san francisco. those places are the absolute scum ridden holes of the country right now. you could almost have a side by side picture of the wealth disparity of los angeles and dhubai and it would take a moment for you to figure out which is which
I’ve gone to many states. Haven’t gone to California. I feel like California is the ONLY state that has those crossroads in it. Jeez dude However, Dallas has many stacked interchanges and every time I go there I always end up in the same specific one and get lost.
The problem with the North American homeless crisis isn't just insufficient (Canada) or non-existant (USA) social programs and safety nets; it's also largely due to governments doing deliberately stupid things to destroy the economy and make things unaffordable.
