Great!! Just when I was thinking about megacities

Thanks for the fun post! The technical videos are great, but it’s always nice to break up the content with some more unique topics too. Looking forward to another of these!

Fun topics are always welcome! Great video

Do an episode on urban street food

How in the world does the roman priest prove celibacy for someone going into the fire department? Also have a nice break!

Just got a package from Italy and it took nearly a month. Pretty sure the Italian post office have to pay the mob to move around.

@@KRYMauL that's a myth

@@20thReality It was joke and many companies due to pull out of Italy because of corruption.

@@KRYMauL such as?

@@KRYMauL Iron mountain is corrupt?

And for another tiny country surrounded by Italy, there's San Marino. At about 61 km^2 / 24 sq mi, it's certainly city _sized,_ but its ~34,000 people still have a fair amount of countryside around their (multiple) towns and villages. Does that make it a city-state, or just a _really_ small country? 🤷‍♂️

There is also a less known Italian exclave in the French Alps which houses a small village and ski resort, the town is called Aimeidittap

Don't forget livigno and perhaps asiago

@@germanogirardelli Those are not exclaves/enclaves.

@@duck1ente is this real? I cannot find any information about it

that would be interesting! some students refer to living on campus as "the bubble"

They also rely on walking and cycling as the main ways to get around. And yah, larger campuses and multi-campus schools do run shuttle busses. Heck, a few even have trains and metros, including some unconventional ones like West Virginia University's PRT and Dortmund (Germany)'s H-Bahn. And the University of Minnesota used to have an intercampus trolley connecting the Minneapolis and St Paul campuses. These days it has a dedicated busway and bike path (the U of M Transitway), opened in 1992 in some free space alongside railroad tracks.

*Cities:Skylines flashbacks with the university DLC*

Yes please!!! This would be very cool. Or like those huge industrial or office complexes that are like tiny cities and have a lot of that stuff as well??

i miss the days where i wouldnt drive my car for weeks at a time while i was in college. take the college bus system to campus from my apartment and then skate to wherever i needed to go from there. everything i needed was either inside of the campus or on one of the streets right across from the campus.

Maronite church never lost the faith.

Your lucky you got in! So, where are you from?

In Vatican city are there any tall structures for snipers ?

The Catholic Church cre ated the university, gothic architecture, sculpture literature, the stave and musical scale DURING THE DARK AGES!!!!HAHAHAHA!!!!

Maybe a locker system? I work as a driver for Amazon. I just picture being told to deliver to "x" address there. Drive or walk up and drop it off to the customer of the package. Addition/Edit: They could also have a shipping and receiving location. Just go to a loading dock, drop the packages there and sign off with load master. Be on your way

@@TrickiVicBB71 They definitely have a locker probably by the post office because a sprinters and ducatos are going to have a hard time moving through streets designed for non industrial fiats.

@@KRYMauL thank you for the explanation.

@@TrickiVicBB71 They could also possibly deliver to the post office itself. I've delivered to P.O. boxes, both to independent services and USPS.

IIRC, the museum's tickets are valid for two days. We took two consecutive days just for the Musei Vaticani, and another two days for the Forum, Colosseum and adjacent hill. Two weeks total for the whole city and then another week for Tivoli, Ostia Antica and the like. So much to see there!

The bike bell was invented by John Richard Dedicoat in 1877. Vatican City gained independence in 1929.

@@AustinAlmond The Holy See technically has been under sovereign rule since 313, but between 1870 - 1929 the Pope was effectively a "Prisoner in the Vatican."

@@AustinAlmond It existed beofre that

@@KRYMauL Vatican City can be considered a successor to the Papal States, which (as your post indicates) were around for centuries up until Vatican City as we know it was created.

@@MarsJenkar A successor state that is ruled by the same government yes. Basically Holy Roman Empire to Austrian Hungarian Empire.

however if you take Vatican city as the entire nation. the US might have to turn Ohio in to 1 big parking lot.

@@sirBrouwer i think a video that compares percent of land use for parking for US and European cities would be interesting. In the us, plenty of places have big parking lots, so big that you often see them used as infill development

@@tonywalters7298 it's do to the Vatican being so small as a sovereign nation that statistics are squared in there favour. It's like tey can also claim to have the biggest supermarket in the world. Percentage wise to the size of said nation. (It's actually very small and would fit in a delivery truck for a middle sized supermarket bricks and all)

@@sirBrouwer how dare you sir, Ohio is sacred

@@IanZainea1990 it would become a secret parking lot. Think of it. As far as your eyes could see 1 big sea of black tarmac.

My six month old son is a Swiss national (my wife is from Switzerland) so I'll take a look at the other elegibility criteria and have him apply in 20 years.

Do they stamp your passport upon entering the Vatican?

@@CharlesMcKinneyIV I only had my ID with me, so I couldn’t tell you

@@sergioalmeida2410: are you Italian?

@@CharlesMcKinneyIV I’m Swiss

The Church created the university!!priest scientist George de lamairte created the big bang theory!!!copernicus was a catholic monk. Luca pacioli invented accounting. Etc, etc.

Also for example when a new miracle is "discovered", there is first a commission of scientists that make sure that science cannot explain what happened. It makes sure that the miracle is truelly a miracle.

yep, also I am looking to find out does anyone verify the rumours regarding the Holy of the Holiest, Temple treasures from Jerusalem

I am

@@rachelLadyD The Holy of Holiest contained the ark of the covenant, The 10 Commandments tablets, Aaron's staff, the bread of offering...they dissappeared way before Jesus time. It was an empty place for decades. The book of Maccabees teads it is hidden on Mount Sinai. No need to have it. The curtains rent top to bottom at the crucifixion!!! Virgin Mary was the new Ark!!! Also snatched from earth

Of course the pope himself does not drive. He is driven from place to place by members of his security staff.

There are many excellent things you do not about the Pope or the Church

He rides an ass!!!

@Hold Fast Hundreds of people is not that much, in just single university building sometimes works more people. However, I get the point. it's just surprising, because Vatican is not a campus in the middle of nowhere, you have probably plenty of shops just around the corner on the Italian soil

@Hold Fast Look, I live in Europe, I know that. And I know that American huge hypermarkets are probably larger than Vatican. However, there still could be a non-Vatican supermarket really close to the city walls

that is a forbidden topic. 😉

Ha ha

@@sirBrouwer Good point

It's spelled with an a on his map, but that appears to be wrong. In Italian it's rendered 'gendarmeria'

and the city of rome is valued at 163 billion while the holy see attracts millions of tourists and faithful to rome every year - free of charge. your point?

I was going to agree with crazy but that is a good point to be fair.

@@LucidFL I suppose that is true. I guess it's not that much different than religions being tax-exempt organizations in the US. A symbiotic relationship.

Yes but all of that money is used to run the church and it's charities worldwide.

@@crazycolbster yes but most of the assets owned by the church are illiquid

or why not an Italian car Ferrari? Lamborghini · Maserati · . Fiat · Alfa Romeo.?

Robert Evans did a fun review of this on his podcast “Behind the Bastards”. It sure is…something.

@@PaulFisher Sounds interesting. I looked him up and he seems pretty cool. Thanks!

Damaso I was the Pope who made the Bible, gave it to the world and declared her to be The Word of God in 382AD!!! That is why Christians believe the bible!!!

Well England used to be pretty Catholic until Henry VIII. Similarly, Ethiopia started out Catholic until the Catholics were kicked out in the mid-1600s.

English-style formal gardens got popular all over Europe though, for a while.

Ethiopia is Christian for a long time, the Desert fathers tradition, they came to Ireland before the Byzantine church, and before Vatican Roman church

Going to check out that video thank you🙏🏼 By the way you are 100% on point 👍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

@@lunalinda9906 You're welcome! It gets a little conspiracy theory-y, but super intriguing and interesting, and changed how I look at cities, architecture, and history. Thanks and take care!

@@PaulineFaithways thank you very much for that nugget, Sister :)

@@PaulineFaithways, was wondering who holds office or lives at Castel Sant'Angelo? Is that open to the public? What's the history of the castle? Thanks.

@@gerryaraujo7852 no one lives there, as it's a museum. Here is the history: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castel_Sant'Angelo

I think the line at the DMV would make even the Pope's patience run thin, haha.

@@kirkginoabolafia3650 Would he take the Lord's name in vain? Imagine standing in line to renew your plates and some guy in robes is behind you shouting "Jesus Christ. Can this line move a little faster?" If a Pope improved the DMV (MTO in my area) that might serve as one of the miracles needed to become a saint.

@@kirkginoabolafia3650 more the opposite. he will make monks work out of filling out the paperwork. He would be the wet dream of any DMV desk worker.

@@sirBrouwer it could be like canada, where the queen just as a crown emblem for a license plate

The problem with that is, who gets to harvest, and thus benefit, from your fruit tree? If you put it up primarily for ornamentation, you may not mind if someone occasionally plucks an apple from your tree to sate their hunger. But I have seen on one occasion, (at least), and heard of other occasions, of professional harvesters sweeping into "public" places, (in the one I know I witnessed, it was the common of a university campus), and harvesting all the pecan trees. From what I've heard, they generally do this without any consideration for the property owner. Just sweep in, shake all the limbs with long poles, sweep up all the nuts, and leave. Your "ornamental" apple tree, that you've been eyeing for the whole summer, waiting for the apples to ripen, may be stripped bare of fruit in the early morning hours some fall day and you got nothing from it. Why even grow a fruit tree if someone else can take advantage, leaving you with none of the fruits of your stewardship?

Apartments aren't the only types of homes that promote higher densities: townhouses, multi-plexes, flats (US term for a house with one floor apartments or condos), condos, or co-housing. Co-housing seems to be the best one as it gives you your own space to: cook, eat, etc. while having a shared space to socialize when you want, basically you're sharing a backyard or garden with your neighbors. EDIT: should've said higher densities as I think the best density is actually middle density mixed use.

@@S_Roach Some fruit trees can be private, and some public. If there is a campaign of not planting as much purely oranamential plants, it won't matter if someone takes fruit to sate their hunger, that's the whole point. It's only when people start planting trees with versatility in mind, not just for the looks, that problems can be solved.

@@KRYMauL I know, but it isn't for me, in my humble, personal opinion. I want space to grow peas, potatoes, plums, and figs. The trees I have are my personal trees, not public trees in which municipalities/counties would plant to try to alleviate the cost of fruits and nuts too. However, I don't mind sharing fruits/nuts/crops as long as I have some for myself. On the topic of high-density housing, even if people like me don't want that personally, it must be available. Single-family zoning is bad for the future of our society, especially for where I live now, the Myrtle Beach area. This area has seen much destruction of subtropical pine jungles for more housing, which with single-family housing for older folks, is only going to get worse once it grows to a certain point. Right now even feels like that, even though there are numerous slabs of grass around the area perfect for affordable housing. I hope people can get what they want in terms of the walkable, high-density housing, but if you want your own food resources, then you certainly need some land.

@@melonside4216 So, cohousing i.e. you get your own space and possibly your own single-family-home, but you share a backyard. Essentially every time you have a BBQ everyone will come because it's effectively their backyard, too.
