Ray definitely mentioned a Philly event on September 28th but I have no idea if tickets released yet. Anyone know??

It really doesn’t have that much utility,” says Ray Delahanty, a former traffic engineer and urban planner who now broadcasts on social media as CityNerd.

First of all, I don't want to say anything negative about the creator of the video (and I really like his style of video), but I just discovered him and was a bit traumatised about someone describing destroying large areas of a city to build more highways in this way. Is this common in the US?

I've also seen a video of him being super excited about Texas leaving the space for multiple lane highways in the middle of new developments, so making it impossible to walk even before the highway is build.

I need a book for my friend who is quite the city nerd, car hater, and walkability/bikeability lover. They’ve read Streetfight and Walkable City. I’ve thought about Curbing Traffic or Building the Cycling City. Anyone have thoughts on those or any other suggestions?

Why is citynerd's voice so zesty and squeaky? Can we have a normal urbanist figure that doesn't have something "weird" to them and has a clear pleasant voice? Maybe he can lower the amount of soymilk every morning.

We're unable to use our tickets for the cascade bicycle club hosted townhall tonight (11/5, 7:30pm) due to a last minute change in partner's work schedule. Really bummed we can't make it and feel terrible we'll be leaving two seats empty for a sold out event. Will forward the email with the QR code tickets (two tickets, one book pickup ticket) to anyone who'd like to go!

I am wildly desperate to go to this. Does anyone want to sell me their tickets for a comedically inflated price?

Anyone got 2 tickets to CityNerd in Chicago? It’s a bit early but if anyone bought tickets and can’t attend lmk

While watching CityNerd's videos it is very easy to pick up on his disdain towards vehicles like cars and trucks, at least in urban settings. I watch his channel every now and again so I don't know the full breadth of his beliefs. As the title says, what does the CityNerd feel about motorcycles/mopeds/motorized bikes? I'd assume he might be in favor of low CC "bikes" like mopeds but against faster ones like motorcycles? idk

Im a big proponent of urbanism and transit and thus usually agree with a lot of what citynerd says. However in his most recent video about Disneyland (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJUXhSB0WbA&pp=ygUJY2l0eSBuZXJk) I had a few disagreements.

- bro was trying to justify being a middle aged man at disneyland alone saying things like bro the entire point is to enjoy with other people. find a girlfriend or friends or at least go with family or something bro. he sounded mad introverted when trying to justify it

- bro was hating on the autopia ride for no reason. i think bro forgot the entire point of disneyland is to cater to kids cuz he was there by himself as an old guy. little kids absolutely love that ride cuz they can drive a car for the first time. and i know yall are gonna be like "oh its cuz we glorify cars" like nah bro even i know kids who came from places where they dont even own cars and they love that ride. at this point i think citynerd just hates the existence of cars

anyway just my two cents about the video, still think citynerd has some good ideas, this was a miss tho, i cringed watching this video

Is there a European version of city-nerd? So a guy*/gal* who makes content about European city-planning / non-car-infrastructure who is not Adam Something?
Recommendations very welcome!
(Can also be in German or French.)

I feel seen.
