I love these videos that verbalize what we've all always instinctively known, but weren't really consciously aware about. I've always hated the places where I've grown up, but I couldn't really put my finger on why. In hindsight they were just entirely constructed with anti-human design priciples. Then you visit some part of the old town and instantly feel at home. Your average building code, zoning, city planners etc. really didn't do us any favors in the last 100 years or so. The complete removal of informal urban development really didn't do us any good. I'm happy that urban planning seems to be going in the right direction again.

You summarized perfectly how I always felt as well, then I discovered Not Just Bikes and it all clicked.

This video is a lot of fun and somewhat helpful advice.

I wish there was a version of this for the space inside my house as well as outside
