Driving Downtown - Cleveland 4K HDR - USA 

​@@righteousgarrity9672First part of your name checks out

It’s really not that bad. I live in the Cleveland metro area and I don’t mind it here. Sure it’s not like the most interesting city ever but it’s a perfectly acceptable place to live. The only bad thing is the weather.

Don’t watch news. You won’t think that way.

Great place to live if you don’t mind friendly people, low cost of living, excellent culture, healthcare and food. People talk about how cold it is but guess where else it gets cold as fuck? Chicago, New York, etc..

The weather is what’s really bad about the region. It’s not just that the winters are long and cold, it’s also a very cloudy region because of Lake Erie. It very, very depressing. I grew up there as a kid and couldn’t wait to get the hell out of there.

Like alot of the Midwest they failed to diversify thier economy, and its a damn show how much people had to struggle here, it has so much going for it. they say its on the upswing these days,

@@diodelvino3048 The city has had seven decades of Democrats “running” it. Eaton, Progressive, American Greetings, etc. all ran for the ‘burbs as a result, financial prosperity is not a speciality a Democrat possesses. Any financial growth/construction was SOLELY a result of the private sector. And luckily for the jagoffs currently running the show, the Sherwin Williams charter called for the new HQ tower to be built in the CBD. The health sector is in full swing though. Travel about 10 minutes east of the central business district and you’ll find yourself in University Heights. That is the “downtown” of the health sector and also houses John Carroll University. That is a thriving city of its own. Head another seven minutes east of University Circle past the railroad tracks on Euclid and you’ll find yourself in the third world country known as the City of East Cleveland. Entirely different municipality but I think nationally it incorrectly gets identified as part of Cleveland proper.

@@diodelvino3048 at least you get a free picture with lebron right?

We have better weather. At least when there isn't a hurricane.

@@edzaslow I was born and raised in Miami. For me, the weather there is too warm. I now live in the panhandle and there are actually seasonal changes.

very cool. was just in Jakarta ✌

To be honest, Kuala Lumpur looks better than many US cities.

@@RK-bx1by joker

True, but sometimes they’re extremely dirty

Don't go to Boston

​@@RK-bx1by "many US cities" such as??

"Our main export is crippling depression. Our water's so polluted all our fish have AIDS" 😂

Damn, I can't get this song out of my head lol

we're not Detroit"

It doesn’t help that the downtown has more inside spaces like the Arcades then outside spaces like 4th street. I think it’s mostly because we have brutal winter so it’s better to build a arcade than a outdoor retail space

America was designed in the early 20th century to keep us in our cars so the automotive industry/oilmen can get rich. No wonder we’re all fat and depressed.

He just uploaded a video of Brisbane and it was a ghost town through the entire city 😂 you guys only have like 3 or 4 major metro areas to our 40+ 😆

Fake news buddy

NYC is still here you know? So is Chicago, Boston, Nashville, New Orleans, San Francisco, etc...

would love to visit your country soon and see a grand prix race 😎

​COME TO AZERBAIJAN AND YOU WILL SEE ONLY RESPECT

good suggestion will check it out

It is. Playhouse Square, the country’s largest performing arts center outside of New York City.

had no idea the population decline was that large. steven johnsons book '6 innovations that made the modern world' talked about air conditioning moving people south to warmer climates. between this and free trade, i dont know what else caused it. its a beautiful downtown. similar to detroit. but people jsut left.

@@jutah The surrounding 8 county region population dropped, but by a smaller %. Cuyahoga county, which Cleveland is located peaked in 1970 at 1,721,200, with 970,000 people in the 59 suburban cities surrounding Cleveland. The county has dropped to under 1,300,000 today, nearly all of the loss from Cleveland itself. Only St. Louis, Detroit and Baltimore had larger population losses.

​@jutah Downtown is the neighborhood that has seen the largest increase in residents. Work from home has been the greatest factor to the decrease in foot traffic. However, I do still see a decent amount of people during lunch hours and weekend evenings.

lol na. i had a really great summer as i got to bring family with me! thats why the audio sounds different i just put a mic near the engine. next trip should be solo so the audio will be similar to before

rock and roll hall of fame i think

Your observation would be correct. I partly believe that our poor public transportation system has something to do with it. europe and Asia are far more advanced with public transportation than we are because we simply don't need it. It's pretty much a part of the American lifestyle that a house and a car per adult in every household is a must. Other reason I believe is due to affordability, cars are more affordable in the us so more people tend to have one.

​@@marcusjones491no, it's Euclidean (exclusionary) zoning. Most of the world's cities are "mixed-use" with rare exceptions, while American cities are mostly zoned for single-family houses (R1), with separated commercial areas. Then there are parking minimums, which are much less harsh in the rest of the world. Then there's the generous funding of highways and roads in the US, car-centric planning of city streets, etc.

Cleveland is infilling a lot of the downtown parking lots especially near the warehouse district

​@@carbrainedironically enough the city that spawned Euclidean zoning laws (Euclid, OH) is a Cleveland suburb that borders the city to the east.

Have you ever been to Los Angeles? It's one of the busiest cities in the world 😂

cleveland is much smaller. less traffic. pretty easy.

@@jutah thank you, good to know!

Hard to say that when more and more people have been moving to the Midwest, and Cleveland's population is growing again, depending on times, days of the week and weather is the biggest factor you do not see many people on the sidewalks exc..

You see that in Southern US too. More people in their cars than out in the street walking around. It's because in major cities it's not safe in certain parts of the day to be walking around and most of America loves their vehicles than outside on a bike or walking around. We are a car dependent country. That's American culture 101.

downtown cleveland has increased from 10k population to about 50,000 in the past decade

​@thedirtybubble9613 many people would actually love to bike. We've just been forced into it lol

Playing video games inside

Downtown is mostly vacant offices. Although the population of downtown residents is steadily increasing. Also downtown has several arcades (like the arcade and 5th street arcade) and alleys (like E4th Street) so people don’t have to walk outside

I've always loved how Cleveland has lots of greenery even downtown I hope they keep it that way

What’s the time stamp?

@@Odm1776 For the structure? It's 55 minutes in.

@@ChrisTheAspergerGuy Oh it’s a old Jackknife Bridge. It use to come down to let trains cross the Cuyahoga River most, if not all, of those bridges are left up for aesthetic purposes. Kind of like a nod to the cities industrial past.

@@Odm1776 That's pretty cool. I like it when cities hold onto pieces of their history like that.

@@Odm1776 That's very charming. I wish my hometown of Miami, FL would do the same. Instead of building high rises. I like Cleveland because it reminds me of how it used to be many years ago.

Exception like New York, but how many people do you want to see?

American cities were destroyed on purpose

As someone who lives next to Cleveland, I can tell you that most people travel by car and enter straight into their destination. This is why you don’t see many people.

That’s not exclusive to Cleveland. America in general is just a more car oriented culture.

@@VOTE_REFORM_UKthe most foot traffic you will find is either NYC or Chicago

CCP bot plz go.

You’re a fool. Cleveland is awesome.

joakim noah is a talentless bum that was only in the nba because of his dad

@@whywhere1768 It doesn't change the fact that he's 100% right about your city. Do better.

thanks for the feedback zolout, i didn't have the best audio options this summer but will continue to improve and the next batch will have better audio.
