We discuss: The rise of urbanism in popular culture thanks to a pandemic-provoked introduction, suburban kids landlocked at home, and TikTok. Hyper-localizing a walkable lifestyle in car-dominated cities. The economics of car ownership, and the math that could support escaping it. Financial freedom by going car-free or car-lite. Americans' obsession with Disneyland and other walkable vacation destinations, but fear of building walkable neighborhoods near them. Philadelphia's streetcar suburbs, from the view of a lifelong resident. Political hobbyism, and why urban planning is such a popular space to become obsessed with. NIMBYs are doing their thing... again... and again... and again... The Scott Galloway fan club.
