    Yep less of the burbs. I’ve been really captured by human scale streets and centres surrounded by houses lately.

    Decentralising the car from our lives could save so much wasted energy, and therefore CO2 equivalent emissions.

    I always like the idea of the Barcelona style blocks, but their cars are still more central than i think would make a more desirable neigjbourhood, for all kinds of reasons but first among them is emissions.

          Used to? If you found some of the more recent ones a little too “inside baseball”, I’d recommend the latest one, about road bricks. It feels a lot more classic NJB.

            Sorry, personal decision. Nothing wrong with NJB. I stopped watching youtube a couple years ago. Couldn’t deal with the algorithm always pushing me onto new creators all the time, and the constant conspiracy/rightward shift in programming the algorithm spewed up.

            I think one day i might do Nebula, but i actually like watching less in general now. My jobs such that i have very high podcast listening hours, so i stay well plugged in without the videos. But also lifes busy with family, so the few hours i get per day for myself i’d rather spend more productively. Like reading and posting articles on Lemmy :p
