This is such an excellent video. The mayor of a suburb(?) in London is trying to revert changes made to a neighborhood which made it a low-traffic neighborhood (LTN), which made the streets safer, quieter, and overall more pleasant for the residents. Really well presented, empirically backed evidence that it's safer, and overall just a more livable place due to fewer cars passing through. Also, 71% of people in that suburb(?) don't own cars, which I find amazing.

Fuck the mayor. He was told twice by residents that they don't want the new changes (i.e., more cars) and told twice by the high court that he can't undo the LTN stuff... and now he's going to the supreme court to get more cars passing through. Incredibly infuriating.

Evan in the wild! Been watching him for over a year. Lots of good topics he has covered over the like 15 years he has been making videos.

    im back and forth on him. Which is likely a good thing as it does not feel like he is pandering.

    A lot of his videos are just his experience of a thing or topic, but some of them he brings in factual basis. Can't say I've fact checked any of this video but he provides a lot of sources so that helps the credibility. I find him as something pleasant to watch most Monday mornings before work.
