I've viewed quite a few of your videos. One thing that strikes me about these failure areas is there all designed around fossil fuel vehicles. Huge huge roads and stuff, lots of roads and parking lots everywhere. This kind of city planning is very unfriendly for building real communities and are based on fake economies that dont really produce anything of real value. I.E dog grooming and nail saloons. Lol
Sorry Econ, I hate to disagree with you here, but that strip mall at 4:30 is just more cheap slab construction with cinder block block walls covered in cheap stuco and a little decrative stone wall coverings. Nothing special there. Probably the only thing worth any money at is wiring and electrical service. Building products makers jacked the hell out of the price and gouged the builders X20 fold on that stuff. Hence another reason why it ain't worth squat to the people who know better.
Im a turkey tech grad. Yeah there are some ghetto parts of turlock, and turlock has always had a huge drug problem even in the 90's. But I think Modesto overall is much worse, and has much higher percent of minorities and gangs.
Although Ive lived in this area since 92 I don't frequent modesto enough over the years to do a time comparison. Its turlock mainly the place Ive been going to over the last 12 years. And I can tell you turlock has never looked so good and so booming. Everything is all gravy in turlock. The few times I headed over to modesto it seemed like they were holding up pretty well too (I mean modesto is high crime but im just talking about compared to previously
@mrmilleniumproof I am sure he doesn't want me to repeat what he PMd me about, but it's been fascinating! I am American, just had to leave in '94 to get healthcare, and the US just wasn't working for me in other ways, also. I really like his channel. Good to hear from you! You might find my two expat channels here interesting, and I do Dailymotion, also, under "LisaFalour," where I can be more free and get hassled way less. xo
My spouse just went out the greenmarket, and told me as he was leaving that the vote will take place today in France about criminalizing prostitution (it's "always" been legal here). Uprated this.
@mrmilleniumproof djgrooveline put up a fascinating video recently from Sacramento. He's sent me some fascinating PMs about economic reality there and how "average citizens" are earning money. You can just imagine!
I've uploaded a few rants about the distorted concept regarding "middle class." I personally feel what middle class used to be is now considered "lower working class." Closets in new homes are larger than bedrooms were 50-100 years ago. Most of what America has grown to take for granted during my lifetime mostly was an anomaly. When the printing presses finally run out of ink, the hangover is going to be very disappointing for the unprepared.
Man...that's depressing. That little six unit of store fronts is something. Someone is taking a beating...and probably has been for years because I can't imagine that they just built it.
I remember in '97 that area of Pinellas was bustling with businesses and light industry. Now the parks where those businesses were are now vacant. It's really sad.
