I had no idea how many opinions I was gonna have about Long Beach CA until I started working on this video. Just a wild place. (The video has been up on Nebula for a week, but it’s available on the usual video-sharing platform today!) https://youtu.be/uXffDuVG2tQ
Addison, Texas claims to be the restaurant capital of the United States — yet it doesn’t contain an outlet of the world’s finest restaurant. Curious! More at noon eastern
So they moved my Portland event to the Aladdin and opened up a bunch more tickets a couple days ago and…it’s sold out again. If you missed out (or even if you’re going), stay tuned for possible afterparty/other Portland event. Info on other upcoming cities in reply
Twin Cities! I’ll be in town speaking at the National Planning Conference Sunday April 14, but stay tuned for info on a general meetup/event Friday April 12.
Durham NC — working on something for Monday June 10. Stay tuned!
Other plans in the works. But keep pitching me ideas!
FYI, if you’re on Nebula you’re getting videos ALMOST a week early now. (Working my way towards releasing exactly one week early, to the minute!) New video: where are we gonna hold UrbanismCon 2024? Convention centers rated, March Madness style! https://nebula.tv/videos/citynerd-convention-centers-march-madness-style
A little inside baseball for ya — I published today’s video in the full knowledge that it would underperform with my core audience. And it’s performing as expected! (1/)
Occasionally I will release a video that crosses over into another genre (sports, often) because I really want to reach new people who’ve never really thought about urbanism much before — thereby putting the algo to work in a fertile new area. Today is one of those (2/)
So, if you want to help improve the chances of today’s video reaching urbanism-unaware audiences in the Music silo, watch it…all the way through. The algo responds strongly to average watch time!
New video up on Nebula! The disastrous impact of income inequality on US cities, and which cities are most and least affected. (Working towards releasing on Nebula a full week ahead. Not on Nebula? You should be. Check the reply!)

Remember how Americans used to brag about how they didn't have a transphobia problem the way the UK did because of made-up reasons? Well, I don't think British teens have beaten an enby to death in school.
