One point of clarification: you define gerrymandering as drawing boundaries to benefit a political party. Thats partisan gerrymandering, which is permitted by federal law, but there are other forms of gerrymandering (one that gets a lot of attention is drawing boundaries to advantage or disadvantage voters of a racial or ethnic group, which may be illegal or mandated by federal law, depending on the circumstances. The drafters of Political boundaries may also try to keep businesses in similar industries in the same districts, such as drawing agricultural land together, or keeping industrial facilities together, so that the communities of common interest employed by those industries can elect representatives to look out for their industries. Basically, if the lines are drawn considering anything other that physical geography and population thats considered gerrymandering.

Love this kind of stuff. City Planning. Mass Transit. Demography. Geography Random bits and bobs of data and statistics Never known why, probably never will, but love it all non the lessAlso I come from a place that is a CDP, known as Aloha in Oregon. It's a place where many people there associate it as their Hometown and Current City even though that TECHNICALLY denotes it as a incorporated place. In fact MANY people here in Oregon associate it and speak of it as it's own city/town by default. It's really nifty to be seen and spoken of as such, while hosting the extra autonomy and freedoms of a unincorporated community as CDPs are. CDPs belong to their respective county(ies, rather than a city or the state.

Hi there has been something I have been wondering for some time and dont know if this falls under you expertise, but it is how do cities develop a new industry alongside the new needed infrastructure. It just seems like such a foreign concept as we are so far away from a time when cities where mainly for one industry such as logging, coal, or glassblowing. They all seem to be set in stone in this era from a layman point of view but I know cities are always promoting new ones. So I guess my question is how are they currently doing that through infrastructure/ city planning?

Friendship village? Really? My grandmother lived there for years Well I thought it was part of Friendship Heights but guess I was wrong lol. She moved there in the. 80s I think? In the last few years of her life she moved to a retirement home at the end of her street not leaving the town limits. Thinking about it now it makes sense. Her apartment building was very large but the one around her were even bigger Thousands of units. Surprisingly it took a little bit for her apartment to sell. Thanks for this video

Dunno if this from YouTube, but the bits of voice-over has random stuttering audio, and the camera parts are really quiet. Otherwise, fascinating video as always. You want done wonky districting, you could look at the Las Vegas valley. 3 cities, several unincorporated cities, and no one knows the official borders without looking at a map. Heck the Strip isn't actually in Las Vegas, including the famous welcome sign. And there's an interesting history behind all of it

The census is voluntary and that means only a certain type of people fill it out. There arent any effective repercussions to not filling it out. How many low income families do you think actually care about this. Im also curious how many African Americans fill out the census form and Im curious if their population is far larger than the census would lead us to believe. Clearly we can see visually their population is far larger in America than the census says.

What about Guttenberg, New Jersey? It's by the far the most dense municipality in the United States and the 21st most dense municipality in the world. I guess it's not a census designated place because it is an actual town with its own mayor and town council. it would be amazing if you would go there and do a video about Guttenberg interesting town to study, most residents live in the Galaxy Towers and the entire town is only 3 blocks wide and 10 blocks long.

Open data is amazing for so much stuff. Unrelated note about Dashlane, a 'darkweb search' doesn't, or more so, can't really exist. The definition of the dark web is just sites that are part of the Web not indexed by web search engines. So the claim that it'll 'search the darkweb for stolen passwords' is kinda silly. Though they may be able to cross index it with large password data breaches, but. Eh.

It would be nice in the future if you could adjust the volume levels between your voice over work and your in-field takes. The scenes with you talking to the camera out in the field were disjointed from the volume level and overall quality of the voice over during the examples. I had to keep my mouse hovered over the speaker volume for this video because the quality changed so much throughout.

I am puzzled. If you take your data from the Census, which is self-reported by whoever filled out the forms, can you rely on the accuracy of the data provided by the person who filled out the form? Do people not make mistakes? Do they not outright lie? Do they even participate at all? These questions pause me to question the accuracy of a census.
