I'm going to Japan! I'll be in Tokyo next week and I'll be posting some trip-related content on the channel's Instagram account (@citybeautifulyt). Follow me to follow along!

Also -- I hope you've all been enjoying Suburbs Spring. I'll be posting the last couple of suburbs videos coming up, so we'll also have a bit of Suburbs Summer. I hope everyone's been enjoying practical, and in some cases actionable, content about the 'burbs! 

I hear you all like shapes! Last week I posted a video on circle cities, but did you know that I did a video about hexagon blocks? It's probably my favorite video of 2023, so go check it out. 

My latest video is about creating your own small town. If you're interested in the topic of small towns, you might enjoy this vintage video from the channel! 

It's the end of 2024, and the end of seven years of City Beautiful! I couldn't have done it without all of the amazing encouragement from viewers over all of those years and all those videos. If you're looking to support the channel, consider signing up for Nebula. Watch my videos with no ads and watch exclusive bonus content. We're running a deal for lifetime memberships, and it ends at the end of this year (just a few days left!!). Link in the comments! 

In this time of Thanksgiving, I want to thank everyone for all of your support for this channel, even if it's just watching a video or two. For those of you who have supported this channel by signing up for the Nebula/Curiosity Stream bundle, I want to make sure you have all of the information as the bundle deal expires. Curiosity Stream has been sending out emails that are somewhat misleading, and re-subscribing through them could result in missing out on Nebula entirely. Here's more information:  https://blog.nebula.tv/unbundle/

Hi everyone -- it's time for my annual viewer survey! It helps me understand the impact I'm making (useful for making my tenure case as a professor) and it helps me make videos that you actually want to watch. It takes only a few minutes. (I posted a selfie because I hear that this post will be circulated more widely with an image.) Here's a link to the survey:  https://berkeley.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cGzBaUHVAZxfX3U 

I recently posted a video about Jane Jacobs and Robert Moses where I asked the question--Is Jane Jacobs a NIMBY? If you're looking for more information on NIMBYs, check out this video on the topic. 

I just posted a video about Townscaper, and if you liked that one, you may like this other gaming video of mine. It was the first video on my channel to hit 1,000,000 views! 

I recently posted a video on the history of Paris, and it was inspired by an old video of mine on the history of Tokyo! It's one of my all-time favorites, and worth a watch if you haven't already. What history of... video should I do next? Any cities in mind? 

This video on HOAs might be interesting for people who have just watched my video on the suburbs (check it out if you haven't!). It goes into more detail about how difficult it is to plan for and around private communities.
