Great video. Oakland is such an amazing section of the city. It's almost a city within the city. At least some of the Acropolis Plan was realized and remains today. It gives Oakland that aura of monumental.
Just went down a rabbit hole. Love the channel!
Thank you, that means a lot!
I have no idea why , But I have a fascination of old buildings . I have modeled HO Train layouts and have hand made buildings that marvel everyone that see's them .
I’m a big fan of model railroading! I try to make it each year to the displays in Gibsonia and Monaca
Another great video! I'm currently involved in working on the restoration of the original Carnegie Library in Braddock. The first Carnegie Library in the U.S. Hopefully more projects like this in our region will follow!
Is there any way I can join in on the restoration? Would love to volunteer some time to restore that beautiful building
Good video! It was pushed in my suggested feed the day after I watched your video on Hay's Woods, so if you're wondering, the algorithm is promoting you. At least to people who consume video essays about cities, lol
Glad to hear it!
Same story
Fantastic video
Genius
Awesome video, great content, lots of history
Visiting Pittsburgh in the 60s, 70s and 80s I was struck how the downtown and Oakland never, and up to this day, developed much synergy between the two. In my estimation over several decades a plan for densified infill public and private projects would have offered greater dynamism for both centers. Of course in hindsight there are many factors that disabled such a vision to come to the fore.
Excellent
I really like your channel. You talk about things I've been the about a lot in the last decade, but I haven't heard anyone else talking about.
awesome videos bro. I appreciate the sources linked
We have a beautiful town. Let’s hope open borders and lawlessness end before it’s trash.
If All these damn government projects are going to bfwasting tax payer money, I'd be rather subsidizing saving gorgeous old buildings, replacing roofs around our old cities, and working on getting abandoned properties back on the 'tax roll' and promoting new factories rather than building more new houses and demolishing everything....
