I love the way GMU academics, including the GMU diaspora, pick fights with each other just to generate some good conversation. It's endearing. It's also a public service, one I value anyway.
Already paid a pile for a high-quality webcam. It was a really cloudy day, so maybe the ring light would have helped, but they haven't worked well for me in the past.
a major problem with Tyler's exceptional building restrictions strategy is that historically, we see that it is hard to anticipate what we will value in future. American cities and others around the world knocked down a lot of Victorian architecture. Much of it was not great or worth preserving, perhaps, but we now value that style. People like the San Francisco housing because its rare. Theres a very common brick version of this in the UK, London etc and a lot of it is mediocre.
One thing I wish they or someone would talk about is what buildings are Yanbi that will be looked at as historic buildings in 150 years from now? on an economic immoral standpoint, I’m all yummy but from an art perspective, the new apartments and houses don’t the same emotions and beauty of the Victorian in San Francisco
Part of the problem is that we devalue beauty in North America. Aesthetics needs to be an objective of all new building. But that would require a culture change.
The problem is there is a housing shortage that people complain about, but they voted for the policies(green belts, green space, etc) that created the shortage. They should stop complaining. The people in a HOA, town, city, or county should have a vote on what they want in their neighborhoods. Development policy should be driven by the locals not by state legislatures or federal government pushing "affordable housing". If a majority in a political subdivision want 2 acre minimum lots with a 3000 sq ft min dwelling so be it. The same goes if the majority in the sub division want extreme density. The people that live there should be deciding, not those from off. Plus they have a right to protect their private property values.
What is wrong with these guys? They both look and talk like aliens. They talk like they've got people figured out, but don't apply the same scrutiny to their own perspective.
we need more of bryan and tyler, I think they could narrate a minidoc series together or do a podcast season!

Tyler’s argument against deregulation seems to boil down to: “I don’t think I would like what people build, so they shouldn’t be allowed to.”
Yup. Weak af
At least 75% of the population prefer trad architecture over modern, so he is not alone
@@elektrochava lol wtf you talking about
That's definitely not what he said, but ok...
I had a good laugh listening to them interact.
I laughed so hard at the first minutes of this. Magnificent.
Bryan, you need a new webcam and maybe a ring light! They're like $50 max!

Nah this low down style adds to the authenticity

Tyler apparently does not realize there are beautiful Victorian houses in Oakland as well!
