This Is the Thing That Will Destroy Our Cities CityNerd 2024-02-28 | Cities are engines of innovation and wealth creation for a healthy society -- but not when the vast majority of wealth accrues to people who already have it. Today we discuss the Gini coefficient, the different ways income inequality affects US cities, and which cities are most and least affected.----------CityNerd is on Nebula, the creator-owned streaming service, ad-free!

Live React/Discuss: Urbanism YouTubes HUGE problem CityNerd 2024-02-19 | So, several viewers, including many whose opinions and feedback a value quite a bit, have asked me to watch this video, because they think it's important. Fair warning, I've only watched about a minute of it and then decided it would be cool to do a live reaction and discussion. So I haven't vetted it to see if it's worth platforming/giving oxygen to, but given what I've heard, it's probably somewhat original and a breath of fresh air into the urbanism space.The other thing is, I don't wanna take views from that channel, so my recommendation is, (a) go watch it BEFORE my livestream if you haven't already, and form your own opinion, and (b) if you don't, then go back and watch it later and just leave it running while you take a run through the comments on it, which I've looked at and are...kind of interesting?
