Super loud background noise with a soft speaker is a bad mix. Come one WSJ, even I have better audio control on my channel and I'm a total amateur with no editing software at all.
Beasty Baiter2 Yeah this is rough to listen to.
Is the WSJ trying to turn their UA-cam into an ASMR channel with that voice?
🤣 best comment 👏👏👏
I really like the idea of building local economies. Everything needs to be scaled down to be sustainable. Globalisation should be limited to certain non-essential goods. Everything else should, including urban farms, be within your county or the next at least.
her voice makes me want to stay at home.
Sounds like missy from big mouth
Fix the sound!
Probably recorded from home due to the quarantine.

Shhhh the audience might hear you
Speak louder
She doesn't want to wake her neighbours/cat/dog/turtle.
The pandemic is more like going to change how where we work. not how we commute.
Audio for video seems quite low, please increase volume, or record with clearer voice. other than that, the video is very informative. Thank you!
With rigorous cleaning and universal mask wearing, public transit can be safe. Examples are South Korea and Taiwan
Conservatives Christians who are Anti-Mask would disagree and cough at your baby, sadly.
NNT Flow A dying demographic. Next election they will be near irrelevant.
@@bobsteve4812 Not when Christian Theocratic judges have lifetime appointments changing our country for decades. Earlier this week the the U.S. Supreme Court effectively killed state constitutional provisions that bar taxpayer aid to religious schools.
Seems fo me the roads are just as congested as before😐 which ik is not the point if this video but I'm still sad
Where do you live?
@@cvhashim the Maryland area
Due to congestion in major cities it will be hard to social distance in public transit.
This narrator has depression
First step is to upzone all residential areas so densities are high enough for more people to walk or bicycle to work if they can't work from home. But I know it's political suicide if an elected official says single family home owners could have a 4plex next door
Fix the sound
Shhhh it’s ASMR 🤣
Please watch with 1.5x speed. Thank me later
This made it way better to watch - Thanks!
You act like there's going to be an "after the pandemic"
After we're all vaccinated
sound editing is so bad i stopped the video after 15sec
What’s wrong with the sound??
this may accelerate Uber getting driverless cars because people may be reluctant to share a car w a coughing driver.

I have some colleagues that work in the autonomous vehicle industry. Level 4 autonomous vehicles where a self-driving car pulls up to your door and takes you to your destination is still quite a ways way. We’re just not there yet unfortunately. Unless some human remotely controls the car from a station somewhere. By comparison Tesla vehicles and GM super cruise is considered level 2
And they are willing to share a car with previous riders who may very well have covid?
After 200 years since the bicycle's invention it's discovered it's usefulness.
It’s changing the commute by eliminating it. The title of this video should be about public transportation in general - not commutes.
Here in Brazil they reduced the number of buses during social distancing rules which resulted in crowded buses anyway. As people who work in industries which remained open with 50% capacity still had to go for work and inside a bus with more people than it was before the pandemic 🤐
I gotta say i dont think anything will change within 10-20 years. Becuase if we look at the spanish flu. We went back to our normal lives so maybe when this virus is very rare we woul go back to normal
You know what’s really funny? For years people have been complaining society is too dependent on technology. That people spend too much time on their phones and computers and how social media was destroying humanity. Now we need them more than ever.
I personally don’t miss my commute on the NYC subway...
Public transportation is still a good long-term solution to reduce carbon footprint. The pandemic on the other hand is short term.
The pandemic and widespread access to sterilization for young people would be at least medium term
The 15 minute city is going to be pretty pricey to live in. It's a great idea and one that already exists. It's called a metropolitan city like NY, DC, Boston, etc.
And you have to live in a shoebox sized apt.
Wait, which cites have begun building up their transit systems? My city is always citing budget concerns and chopping up transit systems, Yet they can always seen to find the money to build wider roads.
next: traveling via VR
It's probably gonna happen. Just wait
‘Improve the protective screen for the bus drivers’... man they just put clear tape over the little holes in the window between the passengers and bus drivers. Looks like they got the set up at Aldi.
Cities should start introducing, encouraging and legalizing alternative forms of transport like electric kick scooters, hoverboards, electric skateboards etc. to take pressure off the public transport systems. Widening bike and pedestrian lanes are a good start and they can encourage the use of these newly widened paths by allowing people to commute using the aforementioned alternative forms of transport.
I want local economies to be the norm
Working from home and having basic necessites at walking distance seems like the way to go
@AmarNathan it's a start
@AmarNathan things are suppose to always change but thinga right now for urban areas are issues stemming to lack infrastructure or introduced on the condition to remove those who already live there
Yes! Yes! Yes! 100%
Quality of living would skyrocket.
yet in brooklyn theres no plan for bicycle lanes?!
NYC has done great job expanding their bike lane in a program that started maybe 5 years ago. Maybe they will expand again this year
Donald Gover not this year.... 😫
who need them the road is clear right now....
Omer Ahmed thats right! F em! Who needs clean transportation. F all of em! Let em crack their heads on windows wind shields. Right?
Nanotechnology? Seriously 😒
Let's not forget about blockchain - this might be the real key to battling Sars-Cov-2 😂
She needs to speak up and speak faster
Not sure how having 50% of the world's 80+ year olds dying slightly earlier than they normally is would a bad thing.
1. You must not have grandparents. 2. Let’s see if you feel that same way when you’re 80 with grandkids.
Let's hear you say that when you're 80+
There will probably going to be a new Wall Street transport system, that’s the change to transportation
What?
I’m working in a hospital, 35 mins away by car from my house. The state government decided to congregated all the hospital/research institute around the same area to create a ‘hub’. There is no such thing as working 15 mins away aka local suburban economy for most ppl. Lol. And houses near the hospital are too expensive. There were numerous housing boom, good for the older generations who bought properties in the 80s and 90s.
WSJ Wants you to sign up to there website in order for the sound to be mixed properly.
This video makes me think Moscow was unconsciously prepared for pandemic: we had protective screens for drivers for years, and metro trains produced since ~ 2017 have ultraviolet sytremes built-in
THere's no more commute. We work from home.
I bought Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, Google, Wells Fargo, eBay, Netflix, Home Depot, Lowe's, Walmart, Snapchat
What would a 15 minutes town in the US looks like?
Every 15 minutes of "travelling" distance, there will be a China town, South American town, European town, African town, etc.
Nah, impossible
The volume is really low on this video.
Wht hsve hih paid town planner been doing. Now Muk wants the Tesl wzy under ground. Good luck thru each earthquake. The sytem gets worse & worse. We havd overeeight to to fast foof, bog buffet, gresy junk food & no exercise. If people drink, smoke, eat wrong foods csn we forcd them to change? Lol - a NO
We should rethink the way our cities are designed because if new viruses keep emerging (and if you pay attention to what's been going on the past 20 years they will) we are going to need to make them more friendly towards pedestrians and cyclers. Doing nothing will result in a dramatic increase of cars, or worst, noisy motorcycles that will severely damage life quality and worsen the environmental crisis.
In my view, if there is a job that can be done remotely then that should be the standard.
Mind you that they never mentioned that these rigorous cleaning measures are happening in the USA when it most definitely should. This country is so stupid
Such a calming voice, would love if I could hear her without putting my volume on max.
People should remember we have had pandemics before.....but cities evolved still to what we have now. So a lot of these videos are statistically likely to be over exaggerated.
Didn't expect such low quality narration volume from WSJ. Seriously dissatisfied. Please fix.
15 minute cities I support!!!!✊🏼😭
SPEAK UP WOMAN
How The Pandemic Is...? (fill in the blank for your desired headline)
Why the narrating is so ASMR?
I really like that 15 minutes concept! This might be the future if bigger cities can apply it. But it could also separate the wealthier part even more from the poorer part of the people.
It's a big urban planning concept, though even a 30-minute city is hard to achieve. It's based alot on transport-oriented development and densification, which can lead on into gentrification and the displacement of low SES people. The ideal is that across the whole city, qaulity of life will increase because of low commutes but the social infrasfrature needed for high amenity is... expensive to say the least. It's an ideal that will take a lot to acheive.
@@missjokingcat I'd think that most cities in Europe (or at least Eastern Europe) offer the "30-minute city" at the very least.
Growing up, I could walk to a primary school within 15 minutes, and most kids that went there lived even closer.
Within the same walking distance, there were also two supermarkets and a small forest. There were multiple daycare centers, convenience stores, playgrounds etc.
Although to be fair, this was probably quite thoroughly planned - the development I lived in was developed right next to an older neighborhood that was built during the socialist era (and they had to plan that stuff, since it's not like anyone else could do it back then).
@@MagicznaPanda You are right. I live in Berlin. Several grocery stores, a shopping mall, gyms, doctors, schools, daycare centers, pharmacies, a park and my employer are all within 15 minute walking distance easily. It is not even an expensive area.
The biggest obstacle is the 'American dream', at least as long as that means a single family house with a big yard.
@@ChristianKoehler77 You're spot on than transporation and land use policy are inexorably linked.
The American city I live in, along with all the other major ones, had its housing stock ranked by what's most common: single family (SF) detached, SF attached, 2 units, 3-4, 5-9, 10-19, 20+ and mobile homes. My city is about 65% SF detached homes. Here's the link, interesting chart: ggwash.org/view/39398/here-are-the-most-common-types-of-homes-in-each-us-urban-area-which-arent-the-same-as-cities
The range between 2-9 collectively makes up about 10% of my city's housing stock. We desperately need more of this "Missing Middle" Housing. I think when public transit advocates talk about zoning and the need to add density, people often get scared off thinking of gigantic skyscrapers everywhere... I often hear "I don't want us to be like Manhattan" Missing Middle isn't anywhere close to that.
6:27 the short hand moves faster than the long hand lol
Not happening, my partner and I felt so trapped in NYC when this started. Getting a car was our first choice and then buying a family house to start.
You could use e bikes and scooters instead.
Plus the subway and buses isn’t all that bad.
The video is practically whispering
My kids are riding their bikes to school no bus
Either increase the loudness of the speaker or reduce the bgm loudness 🙏🏾
background sounds ...suck really bad
It's the moment of the bike. Sanity at last.
WORST VOICE OVER, EVER.
Annoying whispery narrator 👎
Why is the narrator whispering?
This video is ignoring the obvious: Getting rid of the city.
Oh yea lets build more suburbs to increase air pollution and car deaths each day. Not to mention Global Warming. Cities are great.
Was that a joke?
This story misses the point entirely. In the future many Americans will work from home. Rapid transit will not be as necessary as it has been in the past. People are starting to flee big cities for suburbs.
Depends on what demographic. Gen-Z and Millennials (millennials also = thirty year olds) want to be in cities or at least places with restaurants and coffee shops in walking distance. Even those who currently don't live in the city because of financial means typically all want to. I know very few people in that age range who don't want to.
Jocelyn K I was talking about what has happened in the last 4 months related to inner city lockdowns because of Covid, but the general trend is also true. www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2019/09/29/millennials-are-fleeing-big-cities-for-the-suburbs.html
This is pretty revolutionary thinking. Redesigning the way people work, move, and live should be at the core of any stimulus package. The world missed a chance when the bulk of the 2008 bailouts were leveled at the banking sector, of which that money was not expended at projects like transit and redesigning cities.
you mean just "US" not rest of world which already has normal Public Transport and routes for Bicycles etc.
@@Swordart2022 A handful of rich European countries are not the rest of the World.
@@nigelwaxley in my city you can bike/walk anywhere and things are close.
What a pathetic audio!
why are you whispering?
Speak loudly please...
The sound sounds fine to me...
This was hot garbage.
Audio is GARBAGE!
Keep taking the European approach to American problems. We don't have these systems. We are largely based on service. This is poor reporting and disconnected to the American public. Try to understand our frustration and curb your clicks to it.
I would add some notes of caution to this video:
1) When she says "cities have invested..." we can effectively think of this as excluding American Cities by orders of magnitude.
2) The impression of transit as "dirty spreaders of disease" is a coded reference to the people who ride transit and its important to remember that prejudice since ...
3) there's no indication that transit has done any more to spread COVID19 than highways or flying have - the recent spread of COVID19 in the south and in the midwest of the US should make you think twice about the assumption this is a problem only for cities and only for transit. Indeed...
4) if anything, shared spaces, controlled access provided by transit, and shared identities in city neighborhoods probably make it easier to implement policies to control/slow the spread of the virus in cities - note the innovations in transit cleanliness and cycling. Try enforcing those policies on a rural or suburban highway/environment.
That's not to say the video/narrator is wrong about the need to refocus and rethink, but it is a problem if we're not putting that in the correct context and feeding the false narrative. Buses and the people that ride them are NOT bringing disease to your neighborhood.
Can't afford technology that already exists.... The human invention of money.
trains and buses are not carrying more than their payload capacity which is good for them
Thank you... for my daily dose of nonsense propaganda. My brain has been thoroughly washed.
How can bike hires be a good idea during a pandemic? Who's gonna wipe them down? The customers? They can barely wear their masks!
I’m glad that there are measures in place finally to disinfect and clean public transit. For the past month of this pandemic, I have worked and have commuted on public transit to get to and from home. Where I live, transit has been free for the past 3 months.
SO WTI CRUDE AINT GOING BACK TO 60?
How does any of street changes actually change ability to combat the virus spreading? As far as I can understand the car is the most effective way of reducing the spread. To me that just seems like they are using the virus to further their agenda of bike/public transportation friendly cities.
Your animation and video quality is high.
Okay this is informative and all,but geez woman, SPEAK UP! Am I listening to news or a guided meditation?
I agree with everyone else on how bad the sound was but it was the clock at 6:22 that really irked me.
You better fix the audio and reupload this video.
1st comment 😅
Cycling is a great way to move around, keep healthy, and practice social distancing. In addition, showers at the office should become more commonplace, both because it makes it so people aren’t deterred from riding, since they can shower, but also because showering can help stop the spread of the virus.
That I agree.
it's just all questions and short term expensive solutions.
I’ll be working remotely until I retire in a couple of years. Will probably move out of Manhattan and into my condo in SC once the virus slows down.
I've never seen the cleaning robot in hong kong mtr, but in advertisement
Good video, I am from indonesia🙏👍 ,like
So bring on autonomous electric small cars, AKA Johnnie Cabs, with built in disinfection after each fare is complete. Uber and the like may get there licensing quicker as a result of C19.
Why? What’s wrong with bikes and scooters and public transit?
Thank You! - very interesting and actual subject - 🌟
Populace sprawl is the worst thing.
Speak up....we can't hear you!!!!
Yeah... when the government announce social distancing measure for transportation the cost of transport immediately double some even charged triple...
Huh?
That's right. Keep parroting the same exaggerations and ridiculously punitive measures like this is the end of the world, not a temporary nasty situation. If this doesn't smell like propaganda I don't know what does?! It's sad to see that fear is the name of the game here and most of the people seem to be hit by that. I hope you can find clarity through this nonsense and confusion.
flakyDS “Exaggerations and ridiculously punitive measures.” Literally couldn’t have said it better.
Minority Report coming soon!
