Climate Town & Not Just Bikes collaborating on how parking minimums destroy both the environment and cities
I’m a huge fan of Climate Town. His videos are in depth and he’s opened my eyes to a lot of shady things I wasn’t aware of. This video for example taught me about minimum parking laws - something I didn’t even know was a thing.
And he cites his sources, shows excerpts from documents, etc
My main complaint is too many silly jokes. I get it… it’s YouTube. I expect some level of silliness but I think this video crossed the line a bit.
Regardless the information is still valuable
I think the rationale is: let’s make this boring stuff fun to listen to. And it probably works.
I get why he makes the jokes and I think they really helped him get a following. I wish he would make more informational cuts that are a little shorter and focus more on his points and information. There are some people who dismiss his points or don’t really grasp how important it is due to the jokes.
Another fantastic video essay from Climate Town. And a not just bike cameo. What could be better?
Love this guy’s channel, all of his videos are worth checking out.
If you’re going to legislate parking spots, it makes a lot a sense to create a MAXIMUM number of spots. For example, don’t let a mall create more than 1/4th their Max capacity in car spots. This means folks know parking will be near-impossible on a weekend, and they’ll opt for the bus or walk or bike instead.
I’m very disappointed this video didn’t identify which cities have established parking spot maximum laws. Can someone ask about them in the YT comments? I dont have a google account, and can’t see this guy’s email address.
