Why Cities Feel so Lonely Now. Type Ashton 2025-09-14 | North America’s houses are getting bigger, the land around them more spacious. Life is increasingly lived at home—private, comfortable, and isolated. But while our homes grow, the spaces that once brought us together are falling apart.America is crumbling—not just roads and bridges, but the very heart of community life: parks, libraries, playgrounds, community centers. These shared spaces are disappearing, and with them, the connections that bind us.👉 In this video, we explore why America’s public spaces are in decline, what it means for our society, and why it matters for the future of our communities. Stay tuned to see how this shift is tearing us apart in ways we don’t even realize—and what we can do about it.Chapters: 00:00 Intro01:31 Isolation in America05:16 Social Infrastructure 07:34 Funding Public Infrastructure 09:19 Delmar Divide12:48 How We Got Here17:27 What Happens Next*All Sources at End of Video to Read More*To Watch More from @TypeAshton My Dangerous Walk to School in the USAyoutu.be/wkhxWteFcQ4German Neighborhoods are ILLEGAL IN AMERICA | Zoning & NIMBY-ismyoutu.be/aQxP_Ftz2REDid you enjoy this video?

I Really Respect Germany For This Type Ashton 2024-01-28 | The dichotomy of this past week will forever be one of the more outstanding events in my time living in Germany, and one that made me really respect my fellow German friends, colleagues and community members. On January 19th, the German Bundestag passed a landmark reform of their citizenship laws - easing requirements and allowing for dual citizenship in Germany with non-EU citizens. Meanwhile, on the very same day, hundreds of thousands were marching against fascism and hatred at anti-nazi demonstrations across the country after senior members of the AfD discussed a ”master plan” for the mass deportation of German asylum-seekers and German citizens of foreign origin.So to understand this new law, I think it is important to look back on the road that got us here… and that means that we need to first understand how this new reform compares to existing citizenship regulations in other EU nations, to dispel some myths about who this opportunity applies to, and to talk about what’s next.
