New NJB: Business Parks

Hello everyone! My newest video is releasing on Monday, but I have it ready early for Patreon supporters.

This video came from an appointment I had in a business park by the airport in the Netherlands. I have a lot of experience going to business parks, and I've worked in many of them, so I wasn't looking forward to going to one again. But it turned out, it was actually great, and trivially easy to get there on public transport.

This visit made me legitimately mad. As soon as I came home from the meeting I wrote up this script, and I told my editors to drop all other projects and get this one out as soon as possible.

I really think that this video summarizes so much of my experience with urban design, why iI started this channel, and why I will never move back to North America, unless I get deported or something. 

Direct link, for those who prefer it: https://youtu.be/SDXB0CY2tSQ

It's also on Nebula: https://nebula.app/videos/notjustbikes-business-parks-suck-but-they-dont-have-to


Also, this isn't the final draft of this video; there are a few small mistakes (like the mis-labelled city at about 12:30). Let me know if there are any other small glitches, and I can get them fixed before it goes live.


Thanks!

Jason

Ah, that's interesting! I've never been there, but maybe if they're building residential then there's hope they they'll bring the infrastructure up to standard?

This video finally convinced me to support you here. It really clicked why I hate the new business park where my employer moved to in fall of this year. Sadly these still exist, and are build in the Netherlands too. For example Vliegkamp Valkenburg, Zuid-Holland where I have to cycle now every day is still being developed into a business park, and someday a new residential area too. Cars really use it as a racing track sometimes, so doesn't always feel safe. You have to take a long detour to get around the former airport, or use the backgate. But you have to stop there twice to call a gate to open it. And they have a few cattle grids too, which don't do anything for any kind of wild life, as they can walk around it. The bus stop is fun too, it is raised to the level of the bus so it's easy to get out of the bus, but if you actually need the even floored exit you can't go anywhere cause the pathway just ends there. You need to go through the grass or down to the main road to get away from the bus stop. Anyhow, I'll stop the rant now and start looking at the other content available here ;-)

Yes, this ^^ that exact clip really stood out to me when I watched this

This might sound dumb, but I think if you uploaded a video of just that automated intersection and then shared it all over social media, it would get millions of views. The clip, the length, and the narration are perfect.
