I agree that he tends to have good points, but there definitely is a personal bias in his content. I can’t blame anyone for hating the city that they grew up in, and I also can’t blame anyone for leaving Canada to seek a European urbanist lifestyle if that’s what one ultimately wants (there is nothing even remotely close to that here in Canada). There is a lot we can learn from European cities and I’m glad he is out here producing that kind of content to start these discussions here and elsewhere.

However, I do find the tone of NJB videos quite abrasive and condescending even though the overarching points are valid. People do like angry creators, but because of this general kind of tone, I think the people who need to hear his perspective the most will dismiss his viewpoints. This is unfortunately the worst aspect of many of the engineer/engineering-type creators that make these kinds of videos.
