Not really sure what to make of those comments. I love Not Just Bikes and have binge watched his videos lately, but I really do get the impression that the solution is everyone move to Amsterdam (which is not practical for so many reasons). I’ve recently discovered the channel “Shifter” and I find him to be more realistic about biking in North America, and a little more positive and recommends attainable solutions (more so than Strong Towns) for the individual.
Knowing that The Netherlands has a worse housing crisis than the USA and Canada (Anglo-North America’s housing crisis is “it’s too expensive.” The Netherlands’ is “there are no houses even if you’re a billionaire”) really drives this point home.
