    I live in a rural retirement area less than 1.5 hours from Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington. The quickly recognizable trait of NIMBY's here is that they moved here flush with cash from a career spent in an urban area, which they are willing to spend on making sure that their new community is nothing like what they escaped when they moved here. They are quick to slam the door behind them when they arrive.

    I’m honored that you mentioned Milwaukee- it’s a great city off the shores of Lake Michigan with great parks, the lakefront, performing arts, museums restaurants and good jobs- ppl are still nice here and will easily say thank you, excuse me and “oh sorry” if they bump you and it’s easy to live here being affordable- we don’t have a homeless camp ⛺️ and when homeless is seen our community officials will try to help them- so that’s nice and it’s a great place to raise children- Milwaukee a hidden gem and we luv it that way ❤

    I've been carless for over 3 years. You actually learn as you go. To figure out the public transportation and what bicycle is suitable for your needs. I live in El Paso close to their downtown area. So I have my bus pass for $30 a month, my specialized series bicycle $650, and the street trolley car that runs along downtown to UTEP, and Uber. The only problem similar to Vegas is the heat 🥵. Driving would cost me $1100-$1300 a month. Car payment, basic to mild repairs, maintenance, insurance, and gas. In addition I own all my bicycles but I remember buying a $50,000 vehicle 10 years ago and just hated the fact that I owe a bank money 🤑 every month just to drive something I don't own until after I make 72 car payments.

    Hilarious to see Madison listed as NOT nimby. Our housing market is notoriously goddawful - the same rent will get you another room at minimum for better quality in a half hour in any direction. There are a lot of apartment complexes being built, but it's just hard to feel good about it when they're all owned by massive property management companies that largely suck. It's not NIMBY, but it's where the NIMBY's send their kids.

  • @Yvaelle
    @Yvaelle День тому

    There are some massive factors I think you need to include in your equation. I agree population is a part of it, but it's not even half the criteria: 1. Cultural connection - this is why HSR is coming in areas around NYC, Florida, Texas, LA, and Cascadia first. These cities already share cultural integration, and HSR is a means to further integrate, formalize, and accelerate that cultural benefit and identity. This is more important than population or distance or geographic difficulty - look at HSR decisions in Europe and Asia. They don't just connect the biggest cities first, they connect the culturally connected ones first. North America is only 3 countries, but it's up to 3 dozen unique cultures: not unlike Europe. I think you could find a culture map and factor in which proposed lines are connecting the same culture (1.0 multiplier for culture), versus different cultures (say, 0.5 multiplier for cultures, though perhaps this could even be a gradient somehow). 2. Desire - This is often related to environmentalism, but that's not all. It also has cultural elements - like Vancouver, Seattle, and Portland each already having light rail networks, that are popular and rank highly across the continent. Cascadia already has a pro-rail culture - whereas throughout much of the central USA - car ownership is part of your self-identity. Asking them to use a train is like asking them to cut off their dicks and leave it at home. 3. Car ownership - Related to the above, people who already own a car have less economic incentive to buy a train ticket for mid-range trips when they could drive and maintain their autonomy. Conversely, cities with low car ownership need a mid-range intercity solution.

    15 minutes by bike is an extremely generous criteria. On a standard 15mph e bike you have 3 whole miles of radius to work with. Most US suburbs are already 15 minute cities if we're only considering biking distance to basic services like schools and groceries. The problem is A) highly centralized job centers that require intercity commuting and B) unsafe infrastructure. We really must aggressively install protected bike infrastructure as the first step, before we can densify and add transit. Unfortunately most developments seem to be taking a transit first approach, which runs a high risk of losing momentum.
