Nathan Allebach - TikTok urbanist, Strong Towns storyteller, walkable cities enthusiast, Creative Director at Allebach Communications, The Steak-umm Guy, and Scott Galloway's favorite Instagram follow (potentially) - joins the first episode of the show to ignite the good traffic conversation.

We discuss:

The rise of urbanism in popular culture thanks to a pandemic-provoked introduction, suburban kids landlocked at home, and TikTok.
Hyper-localizing a walkable lifestyle in car-dominated cities.
The economics of car ownership, and the math that could support escaping it.
Financial freedom by going car-free or car-lite.
Americans' obsession with Disneyland and other walkable vacation destinations, but fear of building walkable neighborhoods near them.
Philadelphia's streetcar suburbs, from the view of a lifelong resident.
Political hobbyism, and why urban planning is such a popular space to become obsessed with.
NIMBYs are doing their thing... again... and again... and again...
The Scott Galloway fan club.
