Enjoy congestion, driver child.
Outside the scope of this thread but props to this channel for actually tackling the immigration problem we have up here... although that ginger's face in all the thumbnails is very offputting.

Immigration is the #1 reason for high housing prices and that podcast is the first urbanist I've ever seen bring that up. They usually just sperg about zoning or landlords.

Of course some of those statistics are misleading or lies, I've covered a few of the most popular urbanist stats and papers and explained why they are bullshit. You can also tell how midwit a lot of these people are because when you ask them to explain they'll just send you links or videos to their sources instead of actually responding, and of course, those videos won't take questions or comments from the audience. Question Strong Towns and they'll treat you like the German government does if you suggest that the Holocaust numbers might be exaggerated.
P.S. Statistics can be completely manipulated.
The idea that suburbs are subsidized by the city and are a ponzi scheme comes from an analysis of Lafayette, Louisiana. However, poverty remains a significant issue in Lafayette and that has a serious issue in a comparison. Additionally, the analysis is limited to only the city limits proper not.
Such, an older and poorer suburb located near the city may be subsidized but this does not mean suburbs themselves are subsidized by cities as they are their own towns.
Compton, CA a suburb of Los Angeles City.
Newport Beach, CA a mostly suburban town that is independent of a proper city.
P.S. When areas that are mostly suburbs choose to split from the city, progressives lose their shit, which flies in the face of the subsidies myth:
I know he also used the "ponzi scheme" argument when talking about Ferguson, MO. In this blog post (archived version from here he talks about how the city paid "$800,000 just on interest from debt" but if you looked at the budget he was quoting that line-item came from incentives to a shopping center redevelopment, not from infrastructure, which is the opposite of what he was suggesting. So naturally you'd have two conclusions:
1) Marohn is a retard and completely misread the budget item
2) Marohn thinks his audience is retarded and knowingly lied about it.
St. George, Louisiana was never incorporated by Baton Rouge to begin with (there's all sorts of quirks between incorporated and unincorporated areas by state), but clearly the City of Baton Rouge was able to benefit from it, and the uproar from losing those tax dollars is empirical evidence that the "suburbs are subsidized" is in fact wrong.
It's worst than that, a lot of the crime statistics are based on calls to police. This is how you get this insane "actually San Francisco's crime is down!" thinking is because people don't call police anymore. (Try suggesting that a sexual assault "didn't happen" because it wasn't reported and they'll go nuclear on you, though...)

In my experience they bring it up but only to call it an evil racist right-wing lie so they can push the latter point harder.
A couple weeks ago on one of those facebook pages I mentioned earlier that got relentlessly pushed to me I brought up the numbers about how Australia let in over half a million immigrants in the last year but only built 120k homes, give or take, and had a bunch of psuedointellectuals going "umm akshully CHUD immigrants disproportionally move into certain types of home (small apartments in the city) so there are still enough houses (of other types) to go around and its just the capitalist government and boomers stopping us from buying them".
This is a country where half the population is unfortunate enough to live in one of three major cities. Because of how dense the cities are, the only affordable living there are apartments, and even taking the nation as a whole there are plenty of younger people who could be able to afford an apartment or a deposit for one that perhaps would fall short of a good sized new family home. The cities are also the areas with the worst levels of homelessness.
The argument makes zero sense but I guarantee you if you go onto an Australian politics subreddit or the ones for any of those cities it will be full of people whining about landlords and zoning and making the exact same argument if you say you can't buy a house because a hundred thousand indians moved into the country on student (read: UberEats) visas.

Please tell me that at least one of his vids involves him getting beat up by a melanated-american for calling passerbys dipshits.

Sadly not, despite the several times he's been threatened and followed. You may enjoy watching him get hit by a car in Bike vs Stupidity 158, nearly breaking his back, and pleased to learn about all his encounters in his new thread. The lore behind getting run over is that he saw the car coming, knew the driver wasn't paying attention, and crossed anyway. He talks about it in the next video where he rambles about how a GoPro has a different focal length than a human eye. Later in the video, he intentionally hits another cyclist.

> 1000 miles on my new motor
I thought one of the points of "you will bike everywhere and be happy" was you would be peddling with your legs, you know, "the gym of life". What does mileage on an ebike mean when you can't prove how many of those miles were powered by your pale chicken legs?

No doubt paywalled once again.
The crossover here between being a train nerd and a troon is autism.
Also I don't know if I'm misunderstanding here or someone else more technically inclined can elaborate further for me, but what does he mean by "overclocking" a motor? I understand increasing the clock rate of a processor, just wondering if that's what he means. Does he mean just running more voltage through it than it's rated to handle or something else entirely? If so I'm not sure how great of an idea it is to modify a Chinese e-bike (Bafang is a Chinese company) given their propensity to spontaneously explode.

Don’t insult those of us who enjoyed Thomas the Tank engine as kids.
Some of us want to use those interests to round up Jews and other undesirables and send them out of our Nations.

I became aware of him while making the ZeroEnigma thread and originally passed him over as a watered-down douchebag, but watching his most recent video for more than a few seconds this time, he uses some of ZeroEnigma's catchphrases like "nice bike you got there" and "I'm not your mom." He seems like a ZeroEnigma clone and even started a GoFundMe to visit NYC [a] and collaborate.
CyclingMikey is another internet bike janny who's been at it even longer than ZeroEnigma, but as far as I can tell, neither of these guys are quite as angry or dangerous as ZeroEnigma himself, who goes out of his way to hit pedestrians in the bike lane. To date, he's collided with 1 scooter, 2 bikes, 3 pedestrians, and 4 cars.

The first frame of his video is an article talking about the rise in traffic deaths in Seattle, but that graph shows that Seattle's streets were safer before all the bike lanes and road diets:
2015 is when Seattle started implementing Vision Zero (a globalist plan to have zero traffic deaths by slowing all traffic to a crawl).
Now the real reasons for the increase in the number of deaths are drug addicts wandering into traffic and cops being afraid to pull anyone over in case the driver turns out to be black, but I find it hilarious how building bike lanes is correlated with an increase of traffic deaths.
The first clip in that video is a car running a all-way stop sign and he exclaims:
and then proceeds to run the stop sign.
Next, like ZeroEnigma, he yells at a worker for unloading something in a bike lane:
He vandalizes a parked car with a sticker:
At 3:00 he runs a red light and laughs about it:
Ohh my god!! I'm such a criminal!! Cyclists are hypocrites!!!
He rages at some jaywalkers:
He refuses to use a perfectly good bike lane and laughs about it:
He complains about a guy using his phone while stopped:
The poorly designed road is backed up for an entire block, so even though the first light is green, he's not going anywhere until the second light turns green. The driver isn't putting anyone in danger.(Zero hands on the wheel. Two hands on the phone.) "You are so dumb! You are really dumb! Fo real!" Texting and driving
He then harrasses another driver:
He sounds an airhorn at a pedestrian who dared to step foot in the bike lane:
*HONK*HONK* The sidewalk is right over hereTHIS is called a bike lane!
Again, he refuses to use a bike lane. This time a driver safely passes him using the turn lane, and this pisses him off:
He yells at another delivery driver just doing his job:
Hey, thanks for blocking the bike lane! There's a whole parking lot right there!
He runs another stop sign:
He yells at another pedestrian for crossing the bike lane:
Sidewalk is over here
He honks at a kid and his dad for daring to touch his precious bike lane:
*AIRHORN*
Not smart to walk your kid in the bike lane
(Idiot dad): "Shut up!!"
-There's a sidewalk right there
Five seconds later he yells "BOOM" at a guy waiting for him to pass him:
He rages at a car driving faster than 25 mph (Seattle arbitrarily lowered all speed limits to 25 mph and no one respects them because the cops aren't allowed to pull people over because "racism"):
He rages at an uber pulling over to pick up passengers and calls it his "Idiot of the Week":
He runs another stop sign:
and then decides to ride in the road instead of the bike lane:
More honking at pedestrians:
Harassing more workers doing their jobs:
More complaining about jaywalkers:
He runs yet another stop sign:
Someone dared to leave a scooter parked partially in the bike lane:
He runs another red light and justifies it because a bus also ran the red light:
If buses can, so can I!!!
He gets angry at a guy having a phone call:
More airhorning of pedestrians:
(I hate showing this much preamble, but it shows just how LONG people actually are casually walking in the bike lane)
*AIRHORN*
THIS is a bike lane!THAT'S the sidewalk!
He complains about someone stopped at a red light using a phone:

More proof that bikefags don't actually use their guns for self-defense. Take any self-defense class and the first thing they will tell you is to not point guns at people unless they are a deadly threat to you, which the undercover cop clearly wasn't.
