Obligatory: Not Just Bikes on YouTube has a series of videos about the Strong Towns books written by the guy mentioned at the start of the article

Also his other content is pretty interesting if you're into that stuff

not just bikes has a lot of great information in his older videos, but his newer videos all seem to be dyed in this deep anger/frustration he feels for cars and car infrastructure.

i can't really pin it down to a single thing or video and maybe it has always been there and i only recently noticed, but lately my main takeaway from his videos is "wow this guy is angry about cars" and less so the points he made.

sure but i don't like watching videos of other people being angry, i'd rather he just delivered the information. and again, maybe i'm imagining the "shift" but after some point relatively recently his stuff felt different to me.

Yeah well, I prefer Tim Burton before he got happy.
