Yo what's up. The next video project is going to be a video on PATCO, but its turning into a larger project because its involving interviews and contacting certain people. 

So in the meantime I'm looking for a video idea that would be relatively easy to complete and be fun to do. Got any ideas?

Just pulling from my ass here but it never fails to come off as bonkers, to the normies who didn't know, that for a brief period the Sacramento Northern provided a single seat ride, via electric interurban, from Chico California to downtown San Francisco (once the bay bridge opened).

Integrating bicycles into mass transit systems. I just took Amtrak from DC to Philly, had to purchase a ticket for my bicycle, and the Amtrak personnel were amazingly unhelpful in getting my bicycle on the train and into an acceptable spot. Also, SEPTA was not particularly bicycle friendly either

the PATCO video is going to be the beginning of a 3 part video series about south jersey transit, with the final video being on the GCL 😉

Something about ticketing? (been thinking about it more since the 9 euro ticket dropped)

NJ Transit has many proposed rail projects that have been teased many times with no signs of progress. The HBLR extension to Englewood keeps getting delayed and they keep mentioning a cross-Bergen line that would connect to the Pascack and Main lines on the NYS&W, yet we don't have renderings or anything. I know North Jersey has way more rail service than the South, but what we don't have is more of it, especially since in Bergen and Passaic counties, all rail lines run north-south until turning east toward Secaucus.

Maybe not a particularly short subject depending on how in-depth you want to go with the history, physics, and economics, but District Heating systems could make for an interesting video--particularly Philadelphia's system. A quick search online brings up this great write-up, including system maps, by Prof. Morris Pierce: http://waterworkshistory.us/DH/1995Philadelphia.htm Definitely worth checking out the rest of his site for references. For the video, you could take a trip over to the Willow Steam Generation Plant: https://goo.gl/maps/JumLtmTqc8UZCwdJA ...before it gets Disneyfied: https://www.ocfrealty.com/naked-philly/loft-district/willow-street-steam-generation-plant-will-start-generating-fun

I'd be curious to hear your thoughts about the recent crackdown on fare evasion in NYC, or about free fare system and just transit fare strategies in general?

More city ratings. Seems reasonably easy to put together and always fun to watch.

I've visited Newburgh, NY (which I just realized is the other end of the Delaware & Hudson Canal from Hawley) over the past year or so and loved it. Mainly b/c I thought most of these upstate NY cities were all despair, and I was shocked that its uptown and downtown commercial districts were almost 100% occupied. It is a colonial town like your Bordentown video although perhaps too far from being a suburb; more like Hawley? What I'd like to learn: what powers the economic engine of this city? Where do people work? Who is buying stuff at all those stores? What are some things the city is doing right (new PBL and links to the Empire State Trail) and wrong (not figuring out how to get rail to return)?

It would take a little work, but I loved your piece on linking urban cores to surrounding farmlands by train and think there's more work to be done on that front. What kinds of depots/warehousing does an efficient regional economy require on both the urban and rural ends of the system? Basically, I'm thinking about Nature's Metropolis by William Cronon -- I'd love to know how the lessons of Chicago's expansion could be applied to future sustainable growth planning.

Paul Kiefer

Oh - another idea: I know there's some quibbling in the urbanist Twitter-sphere about urban gardening (not skyscraper farms - I mean things like P-patches and backyard gardens). Is the dunking on backyard food gardens/small farms on vacant lots in Rust Belt cities merited?

Paul Kiefer

Last one: I'm from Seattle, where the urbanist sphere often casts aspersions (often rightly so) at those who say that people priced out of Seattle should simply move to a place with more abundant housing. "But there aren't jobs there," say some Seattle urbanists, "and besides - who would want to live in Pittsburgh/Cleveland/Rochester?" But considering that those cities have A) some remnants of their former [dense] greatness and B) greater climate resiliency, what kinds of equitable economic development might help bring those cities back?
