Living Car-Free in Vegas & Other Questionable Life Choices | Ray Delahanty | TEDxFremontEastDistrict

Living car-free in Vegas. You're a braver man than I!

[pacerdanny]

Given that you theoretically could sell out almost any stadium in the world, that audience was lucky to see you in such an intimate venue.

All joking aside, if you did a live appearance in my city, I 100% would go.

[AidanS]

I’m so glad that these city planning YouTubers are gaining more traction. It makes sense that as cities grow they should try to grow in density, not sprawl.

[CassieSnowLV]

Jam-packed talk, full of case studies paired with the fact that the presenter is really living the car-free/car-light life - inspiring.

[lucasstewart]

I bike 95% of the time by choice. It’s been a good choice.

[KellyS_]

Usually when people say “Thank you for coming to my Ted talk, they mean it as a joke. You actually did the thing! :)

[kirstenromtvedt]

Having lived in Tokyo Japan, I long for the freedom of being able to go anywhere without gassing up, finding a parking spot and waisting my time driving. I could go drinking with friends with no worries about getting home. I've been rear-ended rear-ended rear-ended twice. I don't want to drive

[thiabrabson]

I am now carless😅 using my bike to get to work & grocery shop❣️ I try to make sure I’m very visible at night but I try to ride on the sidewalk as much as possible👏🏿

Saw the title and thought yeah I know a guy who lives car-free in Vegas. Turns out it is CityNerd!

[ThePantherproof]

You often think, "look how cheap it is, only 15 cents a mile for gas." But you ignore the fact that the interval between repairs, accidents, and eventual replacement gets shorter. Insurance companies might be more if you drive more. So the real cost is much higher.

[aidenworth]

Amazing talk! We need better city planning with walking and biking in mind as our cities grow.

[whatwherethere]

More nervous than on his channel but nice to see an urbanist out talking directly to the people.

[trainluvr]

I love awkward interactions regarding transportation choice. It boosts my self esteem.

[BelleResells]

this is my first time hearing the term urbanist, i've been car free for 7 years

[thewayitgoes]

Once you open your eyes to how much cars actually cost in both the long term and the short term, it really makes you question if it's actually worth it.
I've often thought about how well Vegas could be to bike in. It feels a little bit of a missed opportunity that it's not easier than it is. Disheartening to see the same roads and highways expanded while our bike network, bus accessibility, and sidewalk quality suffers

Good talk! Hope vegas as a whole thinks hard about what they want for their city and the people who live here

[jessecramer]

The paradox of self-imposed limits yielding liberation, and aiming for "some"--not "all"... brilliant as always sir

[jbrook]

Love it! So happy citynerd is getting a bigger platform.

[Miss_spyca]

Thank you so much for this talk. I'm an architect from Europe and I used to car free lifestyle as well. Lived 2 years in Las Vegas without a car and I have so much emotion about this experience. I had to buy small barbells just to walk outside, so people think I was exercising, because if you just walk people think you are insane or homeless.

[HILARI]

Ray, you are a special person.... and are wonderful ! Love the humor...and intelligence.
I am living "car light."..in the Catskill Mountains of NY.

[Meg_A_Byte]

Having the courage to move to Las Vegas without a car really does show how free your mind is. Great Talk, thanks!
