Based Camp - The Disappearing Child in the City： The Urban Exodus of Families

00:00:00.000 Hello everyone! Today we are going to be talking about an interesting phenomenon that I was aware was happening but I wasn't aware how severe it was and it is chilling when you go to the stats and here we are talking about the mass and very recent mass exodus of families and children from major American cities.

00:00:22.220 They are just disappearing. For this I will be looking at an article in The Atlantic called The Urban Family Exodus is a Warning for Progressives.

00:00:33.260 So of course the piece starts with the writer bemoaning J.D. Vance as the worst human being in the world and trumpets as all monsters because they must in their performative schlicking.

00:00:47.740 I love this as always whenever they're the pro-natalist piece. They must start by saying how horrible we all are and then they go to, but they may have a point. 0.80

00:00:58.520 But at the risk of giving Vance any credit here, I must admit that progressives do have a family problem.

00:01:05.620 The problem doesn't exist at the level of individual choice where conservative scolds tend to fixate.

00:01:10.660 Rather, it exists at the level of urban family policy. American families with young children are leaving big urban counties in droves.

00:01:19.400 And that says something interesting about the state of mobility and damning about the state of American cities and the progressives who govern them.

00:01:27.820 First, the facts. In large urban metros, the number of children under five years old is in freefall, according to a new analysis of census data by Conan O'Brien, a policy...

00:01:39.840 Oh, no, sorry, Connor O'Brien.

00:01:42.080 He's a policy analyst now?

00:01:45.980 No, a new guy.

00:01:46.700 At the Think Tank Economic Innovation Group from 2020 to 2023.

00:01:52.220 So in three years, the number of these kids declined by nearly 20% in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queen, and the Bronx.

00:02:00.580 They also fell by double-digit percentage points in counties making up most or all of Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, and St. Louis.

00:02:12.640 If you do not understand how huge that is, imagine if some other population declined by 20% in Manhattan over the course of three years.

00:02:25.320 Imagine if, like, the number of black people in Manhattan declined by 20% over three years.

00:02:31.320 Would progressives be a brick?

00:02:34.420 Would they be running around like the sky was on fire?

00:02:38.060 Well, and we also have to think about the industry impacts of this.

00:02:40.940 Because if there are not enough children to justify good schools, good daycares, good services, it's going to be really hard to get them.

00:02:50.240 Yeah, this is terrifying.

00:02:53.040 This exodus is not merely the result of past COVID waves.

00:02:55.940 Yes, the pace of the urban exodus was fastest during the high pandemic years of 2020 and 2021.

00:03:00.660 But even at the slower rate of out-migration since then, several counties, including those encompassing Manhattan, Brooklyn, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco,

00:03:10.360 are on pace to lose 50% of their under-5 population in 20 years.

00:03:17.500 50% in the next 20 years.

00:03:19.740 To be clear, demographics have complex feedback loops and counter-feedback loops.

00:03:23.720 The toddler population of these places won't necessarily have by the 2040s.

00:03:29.980 But we all know it will, so let's be honest here.

00:03:33.300 Nor is this exodus merely the result of declining nationwide birth rates.

00:03:37.120 Yes, women across the country are having fewer children than they used to. 1.00

00:03:40.860 The share of women under 40 who have never given birth doubled from the early 1980s to the 2020s.

00:03:47.940 But the under-5 population is still declining twice as fast in large urban counties as it is elsewhere, according to O'Brien's censor analysis.

00:03:56.320 So what's the matter with Manhattan, L.A., and Chicago?

00:04:01.260 After the Great Recession, during a period of low urban crime, young college-educated people flocked to downtown areas to advance their career.

00:04:10.220 Retail upscaled and housing costs increased.

00:04:12.540 Soon families started to leave.

00:04:13.940 In 2019, the economist Jed Coloco showed that in cities, including San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C.,

00:04:21.060 young, high-income, college-educated whites were moving in, and multiracial families with children were moving out.

00:04:28.160 The coronavirus pandemic, which resulted in school closures and loosened the tether between home and office, pushed even more families to flee.

00:04:37.640 Now, I want to note that they are playing a little shell game here.

00:04:41.560 Because I would put these statistics out on the screen right here.

00:04:46.400 Multiracial people as an ethnic group have the lowest fertility rate of any ethnic group in the U.S., well below whites.

00:04:52.960 Wait, really?

00:04:54.100 Yeah, remember when we were going over that piece yesterday?

00:04:57.020 Oh, whoa.

00:04:58.560 But yeah, he's just playing games here.

00:05:02.240 We're playing games here.

00:05:03.720 And also, as I mentioned in that episode, of all ethnic groups in the U.S., other than inter-ethnic groups, blacks have the second lowest fertility rate.

00:05:12.160 If you are only looking at blacks not in the bottom 30% of income.

00:05:17.320 If you're looking at blacks in the bottom 30% of income, it brings the black fertility rate in line with other fertility rates. 0.98

00:05:23.040 But blacks actually have a devastatingly low fertility when they're not in just objective poverty. 0.85

00:05:28.600 Wow. 0.98

00:05:29.080 In the United States, at least.

00:05:30.620 Which goes against progressive narratives.

00:05:33.120 So here they're saying, quote,

00:05:34.120 I am deeply worried about the family exodus doom loop.

00:05:36.380 In quote, O'Brien told me, quote,

00:05:38.480 When the population of young kids in a city falls to 10 or 20% in just a few years, that's a potential political earthquake.

00:05:46.060 Almost overnight, there are fewer parents around to fight for better schools, local playgrounds, or all the other mundane amenities families care about.

00:05:53.640 End quote.

00:05:54.560 Behavior is contagious.

00:05:56.140 As Yale sociologist Nicholas Chetensky has shown, if you have a friend who smokes or exercises, it significantly increases the odds that you will do the same.

00:06:03.880 The same principle might hold for having or not having kids.

00:06:06.460 Actually, studies have shown very, I don't know how he's not familiar with these studies, but okay, whatever.

00:06:10.560 As young children become scarce in big cities, people in their 20s and 30s who are thinking about having children will have fewer opportunities to see firsthand how fulfilling parenthood can be.

00:06:20.180 What they're left with instead are media representations, which tend to be inflected by the negativity bias of news.

00:06:28.860 At a glance, these trends might not seem like they have anything to do with contemporary progressivism, but they do.

00:06:33.700 America's richest cities are profoundly left-leaning, and many of them, including New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, are themselves in cons in left-leaning states.

00:06:43.640 The places ought to be advertisements for what modern progressive movement can achieve without the meddlesome conservatism getting in the way.

00:06:51.440 At the local or state level, if progressives want to sell their cause to the masses, they should be able to say, elect us, and we'll make America more like Oakland, or Brooklyn, or suburban Detroit.

00:07:03.900 If they can't make that argument, that's a problem.

00:07:06.720 Right now, it's hard to make that argument because urban progressivism is afflicted by an inability to build.

00:07:14.760 Cities in red states are building much more housing than blue states, blah, blah, blah, and they're going NIMBY here.

00:07:19.960 But the point being is, and just so you know, it is Democrats that are keeping this building stuff from going up.

00:07:24.820 It's due to the way the corrupt unions influence Democratic politicians to ensure that building costs in the U.S. are much more expensive in cities than they are even in the EU.

00:07:34.940 Again, a VisualPolitik video on this.

00:07:36.740 I'll put the picture on screen so you can search it.

00:07:39.080 The picture says the $2 million toilet, but I think the actual title of something like infrastructure costs in the U.S. are skyrocketing.

00:07:46.200 In VisualPolitik, I would always recommend their channel.

00:07:48.580 Oh, they're great.

00:07:49.680 I ask, like, how I know so much about the world in terms of, like, contemporary international politics.

00:07:55.940 VisualPolitik is probably the best educational research or contemporary political events that exist in the world today by a significant margin.

00:08:06.340 After them, Peter Zeihan is the next best resource.

00:08:09.780 Some people dismiss him as a CIA asset, quote unquote, and I would really push back on this notion.

00:08:16.780 That's not to say that he isn't obviously tied very closely to the American military industrial complex, and he doesn't have very strong motivations to promote their interests.

00:08:27.860 But he is the first geopolitical analyst that any of the mainstream listen to that recognize the huge potential impact of fertility collapse.

00:08:36.240 And he has made a number of very, very correct calls over the ages, and he's generally been right about most of the calls that he's made.

00:08:46.940 So when an individual comes to me and they're like, oh, don't trust this guy because he has these preset interests, I'm like, well, that may be true, but he's sort of batting 100 right now.

00:08:57.100 So when somebody with no geopolitical contacts and who has made no accurate predictions about future geopolitical events comes to me and says, don't trust this guy who has tons of geopolitical contacts because he has tons of geopolitical contacts and who has made tons of accurate predictions about the geopolitical scene and how it's going to play out.

00:09:17.300 I don't know.

00:09:18.180 I'm just a little incredulous.

00:09:19.460 Also, I just love how wholesome Peter Zaihan is, just like doing his podcasts while on hikes, a little bit winded, you know, so he's really trying to exert himself.

00:09:31.440 Not just that, he's a good guy.

00:09:32.220 When we were publishing our book, we asked him for advice and he actually got back to us.

00:09:35.960 Yeah.

00:09:36.220 And I always, you know, I have sort of this internal reference for him.

00:09:40.480 Who won more famous than us, who did us a solid before we were as famous as them?

00:09:45.320 And they're sort of in my never, ever retreat.

00:09:47.380 To take time to respond to us as nobodies, it means a lot.

00:09:52.960 Yeah.

00:09:53.240 And this was back before we had received much news coverage and stuff like that.

00:09:57.060 But also, even now, like that we're well known, I'm like, for example, just Pearly Sings platformed us.

00:10:04.720 She had us on her show. 0.99

00:10:05.900 You know, she was friendly with us.

00:10:07.460 And she's at a much higher level than we are.

00:10:09.460 Right.

00:10:09.680 So huge for me, infinite.

00:10:12.040 Like, I'm always in her camp.

00:10:13.880 Same with Chris Williamson.

00:10:15.020 Same with Stuttering Craig, who runs side-scrollers.

00:10:17.940 These are people who, Ruby Art, who runs one of all his.

00:10:21.960 Ayla.

00:10:22.320 These are all people who helped us before we became big deals.

00:10:25.440 And there's many other famous people who've helped us before we became big deals, but don't want to be officially associated with us.

00:10:29.500 So I'm not going to name their names.

00:10:30.760 But they're still in my, I will do and always stand them bucket.

00:10:34.260 The one downside of this, of course, being that individuals might be able to triangulate who our friends are from the individuals who we always stand no matter what, even when it may not make perfect sense why we're standing them.

00:10:50.000 But, yeah, those are good sources.

00:10:52.720 But anyway, so they basically show in that particular video how progressive politics in the United States has made it impossible to build in the major cities.

00:11:02.680 However, I think if you're saying, oh, the problem is we're not building enough housing in major cities and that's why people aren't having kids.

00:11:09.380 I think, you know, you're missing the forest for the trees.

00:11:11.600 As an example of this, a lot of people, when they complain about, oh, low fertility rates are totally a factor of small living spaces or cost of housing, I would point out that in Israel over the past decade, home prices have increased by 345% and are unusually high on a global scale.

00:11:31.300 And this has actually been driven primarily by government policy, specifically regulations and inefficient land use.

00:11:38.200 And yet Israel has sky-high fertility rates.

00:11:41.180 I do think he makes a point that if progressives can't go to conservatives and be like, in the areas where we dominate, we have fixed the problems that you don't have.

00:11:49.340 Because it's clear, I think, to anyone who has lived in a progressive and a conservative district, as we have know, life is, like, objectively better in conservative districts.

00:11:59.160 Like, there's more stores, it's cheaper, the police are better, the fire people are better, the infrastructure is better.

00:12:07.760 The, it's, it's, it's, it's humbling, it's humbling, just to also, even just to see the experience that our son is getting in kindergarten, because we're sitting, we're letting him go to public school as kindergarten, because he asked.

00:12:21.800 We don't consider it his education, it's a supplement to homeschooling that he, like, you know, we'd consider, like, soccer.

00:12:27.700 But, man, the resources he gets, the treatment he gets, it's incredible.

00:12:34.540 So, yeah.

00:12:35.660 And this was not the case, so my, my brother and his wife made an exodus from LA, where they were based.

00:12:42.480 And they've just been like, oh my God, like, it is so much better out here in, in rural Pennsylvania than it was in LA.

00:12:48.280 In every respect, and I think this is something where you, you really didn't want to move to a rural area when I first suggested it to you, when you were treating it as a massive concession.

00:12:59.400 I remember when we were first talking about this, you're like, yeah, but there's so many things to do in the city, and there's so many, like, what are we going to do?

00:13:07.080 And I can walk everywhere, blah, blah, blah.

00:13:09.180 Yeah, walk everywhere, like, we could walk to the grocery store, and then what ends up happening, right, is you realize, I remember, like, when you realize, you're like, wait, we were walking to a grocery store 30 minutes and carrying our bags back home, and we are driving two and a half minutes to a grocery store here, filling our trunk and driving it back home, that it is infinitely more convenient.

00:13:34.300 Or it's like, yeah, but you won't have as much to do.

00:13:37.620 I'm sorry, I get to take my kids to the myriad of festivals, which are happening constantly around us.

00:13:44.880 I get to take them to pick pumpkins, I get to take them to pick wildflowers at the wildflower picking areas, I get to take them to pet bunny rabbits, I get to take them to, like, it is so, so, so much to do that is so much, like, nicer and more wholesome than the things I was doing in the city before.

00:14:04.300 And, and what do I want from city with a kid? Like, what are they offering kids? Nothing.

00:14:09.860 And then it's like, oh, but they have a few nice museums. And it's like, yeah, maybe, but they're not harder to get to from exurban areas than they are from the cities.

00:14:20.360 So for example, we went to Philadelphia this weekend to go to the Franklin Institute, and it was a 30 minute drive.

00:14:27.000 If I had gone from the city, what would it have been a 20 minute drive?

00:14:30.620 Like, this is the thing with cities, especially the major cities like San Francisco that people miss, is you're not actually that much closer to other stuff in cities, because the infrastructure of cities is so poorly designed.

00:14:40.180 And when we also thought that living in a city, or sorry, living in the suburbs would isolate us from friends, when it turns out that we actually socialize more and more efficiently as people who live outside the city.

00:14:53.340 And that's not because people come to us because no one wants, no one's here. No one's even really in Philadelphia. We go out to New York, we go out to DC. But what we do, and we're just about to do this, is we will host happy hours or cocktail parties, two nights in a row while staying at a nice place.

00:15:12.900 And just invite everyone we know in that city to come out. And a decent number of people show up.

00:15:19.680 Because we're a limited commodity.

00:15:21.520 Yeah. And like, if you're in town, everyone's like, well, maybe I'll just see you later. You're here. I'm here. We'll see each other eventually. And it never happens. And we socialized very, very little when we lived in cities. Now that we're outside, we're very systematic about it. We don't waste our time. And when we do it, we do it really well. It's nice. So yeah, it's not what you would expect, I guess.

00:15:42.580 I was very surprised by our move to the suburbs. They're much more prenatal, for sure. 0.94

00:15:47.620 Well, and people like Marberthes on Twitter constantly make this argument that, I mean, he likes to argue, I think, that there's just not enough physical space in apartment sensitivities that people are too.

00:15:59.540 But hold on, I'll argue more than this. I don't just think it's living in a rural area. So that was one thing to change. But you have lived in more conservative and less conservative cities. So you've lived in San Francisco and Dallas.

00:16:10.600 What is the quality of life like between those two cities?

00:16:15.260 Yeah, yeah.

00:16:16.460 You grew up, I grew up in Dallas. My family's in local politics in Dallas. So my opinion of Dallas doesn't count. What is your perspective as somebody who visited? I remember the first time you visited and you're like, where are the homeless people?

00:16:29.020 Yeah, it's too hot for them. Although now there are homeless people in Dallas. But before, yeah, they're just not that many. I mean, you say it's too hot for them, but it's not that it's that they don't offer services for them.

00:16:41.480 Yeah, there's just not that much of an incentive.

00:16:44.260 San Francisco recently had a policy to convert luxury high rises to homeless apartments that are given to them for free.

00:16:51.840 New York has a policy where they rent out rooms in a hotel room, sometimes luxury hotel rooms for homeless people, rather than letting them sleep on the streets.

00:17:02.580 Yeah, not ideal. 0.99

00:17:03.540 You think Dallas has shit like that? 1.00

00:17:06.300 Not ideal. 0.99

00:17:07.080 That's why they're not in Dallas, because they're not putting them up in luxury hotels. And Dallas has Democratic politicians running it. They're just wackadoos, like the ultra-progressives of the East Coast.

00:17:22.180 Yeah, I mean, I don't know what to say. It is very different. Yeah, and even the social scene, I thought, would be worse in Dallas. And it wasn't.

00:17:32.580 It's much better than San Francisco.

00:18:02.800 We're genuinely progressive people. And I think that's the other really big thing, is that progressives are more interesting and fun in conservative or centrist cities because they're real, and they're not just-

00:18:13.920 Yeah, and let's talk about, I'm sorry, I think you actually make a great argument there, right?

00:18:18.240 Like, if you go to a- And Dallas is a Democrat city. Like, it is a solid blue city. One of my cousins recently ran for Congress in Dallas, and she ran as a Republican, and it was just like, she had no shot. She had no shot.

00:18:31.420 My granddad with a congressman there, who was Republican, but, like, it's not anymore.

00:18:37.860 Anyway.

00:18:38.120 Anyway, so, if you contrast something like Dallas with something like Austin, right?

00:18:49.360 We've been to Austin recently, which is genuinely more progressive. Like, it's like a progressive city.

00:18:55.320 Yes.

00:18:55.520 It is nightmarish living in California.

00:18:57.740 Yeah, it doesn't feel safe. It doesn't feel clean and nice.

00:19:01.480 We literally saw a bum fight. 0.55

00:19:04.040 Yeah, it was weird.

00:19:04.340 Remember, we had one actually start following us and, like, yelling at us to, like, attack us?

00:19:09.300 Yeah.

00:19:10.800 That one time?

00:19:11.480 Yeah, we felt super not safe.

00:19:12.980 Austin even walked in a safe place.

00:19:14.300 Yeah.

00:19:15.220 Could you imagine-

00:19:15.680 What's so funny, though, is that we also walked by that boogaloo guy who, like, had a pretty size of all-

00:19:21.840 Did you know Austin had a parade, an antinatalist parade, where everyone dressed in, like, black and, like, looked sad and, like-

00:19:28.160 Oh, they just looked sad?

00:19:29.740 Yeah, apparently somebody said it was the most depressing parade they've ever seen.

00:19:34.140 The antinatalists are just, like, depressing people. 1.00

00:19:36.280 You know, we're going to have a pronatalist, like, parade, like, a fairground thing when we host the pronatalists.

00:19:41.100 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:19:42.920 It's much cheaper.

00:19:43.480 So if you are in Austin-

00:19:45.020 For the natalist conference. 0.99

00:19:47.360 Garbage fire of the city. 0.99

00:19:49.120 But, no, and I literally mean it. 0.99

00:19:51.180 Like, when I think, like, Austin, it is, it is, like, Portland-level bad. 0.81

00:19:55.820 It is, like, actual open garbage fire at this point.

00:19:58.760 You would not want your kid walking down.

00:20:01.660 The neighborhoods outside of the main city.

00:20:04.180 As to the problems that we always go to, like, that area around the convention center that has the most problems.

00:20:12.160 I don't think so.

00:20:13.640 I mean, Dallas has, quote-unquote, like, downtown is a dangerous part of Dallas, and I've never actually felt in danger in downtown Dallas.

00:20:20.780 I have been to Austin, like, three times recently, and I have felt in mortal danger every one of those times.

00:20:27.460 I have never-

00:20:27.780 Downtown Dallas has wing bucket.

00:20:29.520 Three, Dallas is a bum fight.

00:20:30.500 Wing bucket, home of the sour cream and onion.

00:20:32.880 Yeah, I don't know if wing bucket is still there, but that was in the center of Dallas.

00:20:35.540 It better be.

00:20:37.160 Oh, get your bucket. 1.00

00:20:39.100 Right?

00:20:39.880 You gotta get your bucket.

00:20:40.880 Like, when I learned something else, for people who are watching this from Dallas, because I didn't know this when I was interviewing my dad, but apparently it was him.

00:20:47.880 He's the reason why the underground tunnels that connect the center of the city do air conditioning stuff.

00:20:52.040 He was on the, or, like, started the community.

00:20:54.840 Oh, your grandfather did that?

00:20:57.180 What?

00:20:58.040 Your grandfather started that?

00:20:59.380 No, I think my dad did.

00:21:00.540 It was either my dad or my grandfather.

00:21:01.920 I can't remember from the thing.

00:21:02.900 I just didn't know.

00:21:03.300 The wing bucket is still there, by the way.

00:21:04.740 And also, there is now a Deep Ellum location.

00:21:08.740 Oh, yeah.

00:21:09.220 I wanted to invest in them when I had their food.

00:21:11.060 I was like, this is-

00:21:11.720 I know.

00:21:12.060 I think you met the owner and spoke to them, and you're like, can I invest?

00:21:14.600 And he's like, I don't know, man.

00:21:15.520 I just own this business.

00:21:17.680 Flavors.

00:21:18.200 Oh, yeah.

00:21:18.420 They have PP&J, spicy Korean barbecue.

00:21:21.060 Sorry.

00:21:21.940 Why Austin is so bad.

00:21:24.000 Like, why this ends up happening.

00:21:26.440 And I think it's all downstream, and we talked about this in another episode, this rehabilitate rather than prosecute mindset.

00:21:32.220 Which is to say that when people are bad actors in a city environment, the progressive mindset is we can fix them, and it's probably our fault that they're bad actors.

00:21:44.000 Whereas the more conservative mindset is to say-

00:21:47.680 Just remove them from the equation.

00:21:49.580 Remove them from the equation.

00:21:50.960 Yeah.

00:21:51.220 If they're being a bad actor, they're going to breed more bad actors, cause more people to make the same poor decisions that they've made.

00:21:57.000 Yeah, cause more damage.

00:21:58.060 And worse, victimize innocent people, which is what we see in places like Austin.

00:22:03.560 All of these signs that say things like keep Austin weird and stuff like that, you can be weird and still have a degree of ruthlessness to the way that you treat individual people.

00:22:14.660 Yeah, that's so true.

00:22:15.780 You can be weird and ruthless.

00:22:18.060 Weird doesn't mean nice. 0.93

00:22:19.060 I am weird.

00:22:19.840 Hold on.

00:22:20.440 When people say keep Austin weird, I'm weird.

00:22:24.080 Oh no, now that, now that, but like since Tim Walsh started the whole weird as like an accusation against conservatives, does Austin have to, and does Portland have to drop the whole, like do they have to drop weird?

00:22:35.740 I hope they do.

00:22:36.540 I hope.

00:22:36.900 I actually want to like do a campaign around that.

00:22:40.380 Like Portland is weird just like J.D. Vance.

00:22:43.800 Just like J.D. Vance.

00:22:45.660 Make, make Portland weird again.

00:22:47.900 Here in Portland, we've been hearing for a while now that we are weird.

00:22:54.920 And if he's weird, she's weird, and they're weird, and if this is weird and that is weird, then all we have to say is.

00:23:04.260 Democrats and the Harris campaign now deploying a new adjective to blast the Republican ticket.

00:23:10.060 Some of what he and his running mate are saying, well, it's just plain weird.

00:23:14.160 I mean, on the other side, they're just weird.

00:23:20.820 Weird.

00:23:21.600 It's not just a weird style that he brings.

00:23:27.580 Or are they?

00:23:29.140 I think they're talking about us.

00:23:31.480 No way.

00:23:32.360 Hold on.

00:23:36.620 Oh my God.

00:23:38.100 Yeah, that'd be interesting.

00:23:39.300 But when they say weird, they mean normative.

00:23:40.960 Like they mean culturally normative to the urban monoculture.

00:23:43.040 I mean, obviously, that's what that's code for.

00:23:45.300 But it turns them into these horrible places to have your kids.

00:23:50.100 I mean, would you feel safe with your kids in Philadelphia right now?

00:23:54.480 I haven't been to Philadelphia for a long time.

00:23:58.520 So I don't know.

00:24:00.400 Okay.

00:24:01.040 I guess, yeah, I'm the one who still goes to Philadelphia.

00:24:03.940 You don't.

00:24:04.500 When was the last time you went?

00:24:05.660 You go to D.C. and New York more than Philadelphia now, right?

00:24:08.160 I do.

00:24:08.820 Yes.

00:24:09.420 Sadly.

00:24:10.380 Even though we're like.

00:24:10.940 No one, no one's in Philadelphia.

00:24:12.060 We don't have a critical mass of movers and shakers in Philadelphia.

00:24:18.160 We've tried to build it, but just no one seems to be there.

00:24:22.000 Aside from one person who I deeply respect.

00:24:25.400 So.

00:24:27.000 There you go.

00:24:28.040 There's a couple interesting people in Philadelphia.

00:24:30.700 We just don't.

00:24:31.800 Aside from Tracy Woodgrains, who?

00:24:34.200 Oh, Tracy Woodgrains in Philadelphia.

00:24:35.440 No, I was thinking of the various like conservative influencers we know in the area.

00:24:39.120 And keep.

00:24:39.900 Oh, like the YouTubers who live in Phoenixville right by us, right? 1.00

00:24:43.240 Yeah.

00:24:43.680 So for example, like somebody who lives in our neighborhood is the Lore Lodge guy.

00:24:49.420 He's like.

00:24:50.340 I don't know where he is, but I know he lives in Phoenixville.

00:24:53.000 So he's within eight minutes of our house.

00:24:56.060 But I know I've also seen like I've been able to piece together where other YouTubers live

00:25:00.460 and I don't want to like out it because.

00:25:02.260 Thing is not cool.

00:25:03.240 Because they live in this area.

00:25:03.680 Yeah.

00:25:04.120 But for whatever reason, we live easily within a 10 to 15 minute drive of like 10 other really

00:25:12.640 famous YouTubers.

00:25:14.080 But we're not famous YouTubers here.

00:25:15.500 I'm saying like these are like truly famous, famous YouTubers.

00:25:18.280 Yeah, actually famous.

00:25:19.020 Like our neighborhood.

00:25:20.220 Maybe we can make this the new YouTuber hangout.

00:25:23.720 You know, like in L.A. there's all these mansions where YouTubers live.

00:25:26.440 But like this is where the based family man YouTubers live, where everyone just has their 0.99

00:25:30.700 own house and lives a good life instead of, you know, living.

00:25:34.640 All the YouTubers I'm thinking of are like true crime YouTubers or like like cryptid YouTubers

00:25:38.960 or like YouTubers who focus on geopolitics or YouTubers who focus on conservative politics.

00:25:45.200 So they're like the categories of this area seems to attract.

00:25:48.020 But and I will note this, that they are all like either politically centrist or conservative

00:25:53.280 as YouTubers that I'm aware of.

00:25:55.640 And they all are very private and do not hang out with like the wider YouTube community.

00:26:01.260 So that's the thing.

00:26:02.000 Like you can try to create like a critical mass of them here.

00:26:05.220 Yeah.

00:26:05.560 But they don't like they'd be have no interest in talking with other YouTubers.

00:26:10.080 Come on, man.

00:26:10.520 That sounds great.

00:26:11.420 Let's just all.

00:26:12.700 I grew up with this culture in my family.

00:26:15.020 It's one of my favorite family traditions of all time.

00:26:18.900 And this is something that my parents coined, or at least that's it they used.

00:26:23.280 They called it parallel play, which is we would just all ignore each other and do our

00:26:28.500 own things, but in proximity with each other.

00:26:30.720 So we were enjoying each other's company.

00:26:32.880 Sometimes we were listening to the same thing.

00:26:34.520 Like we'd always listen to the same NPR shows together.

00:26:36.700 We'd listen to This American Life.

00:26:38.040 We'd listen to Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me.

00:26:39.500 We'd wait to listen to Car Talk.

00:26:40.880 We'd listen to all these like folksy Bay Area, like San Francisco radio shows that came

00:26:46.800 on.

00:26:47.220 It was like a Celtic program.

00:26:48.660 It was just great.

00:26:49.720 And we would just all do it together with the same kind of backdrop of media and be really

00:26:54.780 happy.

00:26:55.260 My mom would fold laundry.

00:26:56.300 I would go through catalogs while eating food and my dad would do whatever it is that my

00:27:01.580 dad did.

00:27:02.340 And it was great.

00:27:03.600 And I would just love to have a parallel play community here where everyone like maybe

00:27:07.800 we'll walk by each other at stores and just be like, I'm glad they're here, but not talk.

00:27:12.880 We won't talk and we won't make eye contact.

00:27:15.580 We'll just be like, that's your idea of community.

00:27:17.800 I love all these people are like, oh, well, we moved near you guys.

00:27:20.580 You know, we'd want a feeling of community and stuff like that.

00:27:22.540 And you're like, yeah, your kids can play with our kids, but don't expect us to talk to you.

00:27:25.540 Like, yeah, I don't want to risk having to communicate with somebody, even our like close

00:27:30.520 friends, like people who I really respect.

00:27:32.300 I don't like I I'm like, I guess I moderately enjoy talking to them a few times a year, but

00:27:39.680 I mostly like reading the content that they put out and yeah, yeah, and that my my social

00:27:46.260 connection is a parallel parasocial connection.

00:27:49.400 I don't need more than that.

00:27:50.800 Yeah, but then, you know, if the apocalypse comes, then we like, you know, create a sort

00:27:54.420 of defensive network and, you know, trade guns and bullets and vodka, Legos.

00:28:00.100 And are we are we getting a bunch more guns this Black Friday?

00:28:02.840 Yeah.

00:28:03.280 And maybe vodka and Legos for our currency.

00:28:05.900 It'll be great.

00:28:08.240 That's a great gift for the stuff like that.

00:28:11.900 You got to give them vodka and like no vodka and guns.

00:28:16.400 Oh, vodka and guns.

00:28:17.300 Oh, vodka, guns and Legos.

00:28:19.220 I feel like that's really maybe that's what we can bring where to like the heretic on 1.00

00:28:24.320 apocalypse ball is just to have like little like.

00:28:26.920 Oh, yeah, we're going to be on this next time.

00:28:29.440 Yeah, but they have like a they have a ball that like either you have to wear black tie

00:28:33.280 or you can wear apocalypse apocalypse themed clothing.

00:28:36.480 And I just I'm really thinking a lot about I don't want to go to the ball.

00:28:41.640 I don't want to stay up late in by late.

00:28:43.700 I mean, go to bed past like 8 p.m.

00:28:46.220 But I want I want I want an apocalypse costume.

00:28:51.220 Yeah, I'm wearing one.

00:28:53.660 Dressed like a cult member.

00:28:55.860 But I'd actually love to hear your theory.

00:28:57.920 Why are cities like Austin so bad to live like like like astronomically worse to live in

00:29:03.580 and be in cities like Dallas?

00:29:06.120 Because here you're comparing urban to urban.

00:29:08.600 Like what is it?

00:29:09.960 Or Houston, which is a have you been to Houston?

00:29:12.640 I've never been to Houston.

00:29:15.900 Honestly, this this is going to be horrible, but I feel like culturally homogenous cities

00:29:21.380 are just categorically a lot better to live in.

00:29:26.980 I think Dallas is a more culturally homogenous city.

00:29:29.880 I think cities like San Francisco and Austin are a lot more culturally mixed.

00:29:36.120 And I don't just mean I'm not talking about race.

00:29:38.560 I'm talking about culture.

00:29:40.260 So and were we even talking about like the Bay Area people versus the people who grew up

00:29:45.080 in Austin clashing when there's just not enough shared context, shared norms?

00:29:51.960 I don't know.

00:29:53.020 I think one of the reasons why here's what you might be missing.

00:29:56.420 There is a lot of cultural diversity of major populations in Dallas.

00:30:00.600 No, no, no.

00:30:01.200 But no, no, no.

00:30:02.160 You don't understand.

00:30:02.980 That's not what I mean.

00:30:03.980 It's not.

00:30:05.160 You can come from a different background, but if you all grew up with the same norms and

00:30:09.700 rules and understand what I'm talking about.

00:30:12.440 So like the the communities I'm thinking about that are huge in Dallas.

00:30:16.020 Yeah.

00:30:16.720 Yeah.

00:30:17.120 There is a very, very large Indian immigrant community in the Dallas area that is totally

00:30:23.300 different value system from the rest, but it's like an aligned value system when we're

00:30:27.380 like, when you go to the Indian immigrants and you're like, we're going to like get the 0.99

00:30:31.040 homeless people out of town.

00:30:32.420 Yeah.

00:30:32.600 They're like, yeah, do that.

00:30:34.940 Get rid of them.

00:30:35.800 There's also a very large Hispanic population in Dallas.

00:30:39.440 Yeah.

00:30:39.620 But again, they're like very conservative and based.

00:30:43.720 Yeah.

00:30:43.880 But that's that's what I mean.

00:30:45.040 It's a few like like Filipino communities and stuff like that in the Dallas area.

00:30:49.160 But again, when they migrate to Dallas, I think what you're wrong about or what you're

00:30:55.260 missing is that there's cultural diversity in both.

00:30:59.940 Maybe I can make my point better if I describe this in the terms of like fan communities.

00:31:05.240 A lot of people have talked about this phenomenon of fan or niche communities starting to suck

00:31:10.740 when they get larger, because first you have this community where, you know, a lot of different

00:31:15.160 people came together, but they all really enjoy this one thing and they all share the

00:31:19.860 same inside jokes and they all came to it out of love for the thing.

00:31:24.940 And, you know, we're early fans of it.

00:31:26.840 They know the content, the lore, and then the thing gets really big and starts going mainstream.

00:31:32.060 And now a bunch of people are coming in, not necessarily because they love the property,

00:31:36.760 but because it gives them cachet in other realms.

00:31:39.760 Like, oh yeah, I'm a Star Wars fan, like, or I like games, follow my channel.

00:31:46.480 And they're not really into it for that.

00:31:48.780 And they start to exploit the community in ways that, you know, they're not there for

00:31:53.660 the spirit of it.

00:31:54.380 But this is totally different than your previous point.

00:31:55.980 I mean, and I have noticed this about Dallas.

00:31:58.280 So if you look at cost of living versus the amount of money you can earn in a city, typically

00:32:04.940 if you divide those things, you get the terribleness of a city.

00:32:08.720 The city was the worst that I have lived in cost of living versus the amount that you

00:32:16.260 earn in that city divisor is Miami.

00:32:19.260 And it is by far the worst city I have ever been in from a lifestyle perspective and the

00:32:26.720 people it attracts.

00:32:28.200 And it is because it is people who are sacrificing a decent ability to live for the ability to

00:32:34.160 say that they live in Miami.

00:32:35.920 Whereas if you're in Dallas, it's sort of on the opposite.

00:32:38.720 Side of that spectrum.

00:32:40.320 Nobody's impressed when you say you live in Dallas.

00:32:42.440 Yeah, they're taking a hit.

00:32:43.800 Dallas, it is because you are moving there.

00:32:46.260 Because when you divide the amount an average person makes there by the cost of living there,

00:32:50.980 you're like, oh, this is a pretty good equation.

00:32:53.620 And so you go there.

00:32:55.160 And I agree with that to an extent.

00:32:58.520 And I think that definitely, definitely, definitely cheeses Dallas's numbers. 1.00

00:33:02.520 It's the bad brand that the Big D has.

00:33:05.880 But I actually think that the bigger thing here is that when people with conservative sensibilities

00:33:15.860 are migrating from around the world, i.e., if I'm a Hispanic immigrant and I'm moving

00:33:20.660 to Dallas, or I'm an Indian immigrant and I'm moving to Dallas, or I'm a Filipino immigrant

00:33:25.220 and I'm moving to Dallas, I am not moving there.

00:33:28.500 And I think partially you're right here.

00:33:30.060 Like, I'm not moving there because I want, like, cliche TM US.

00:33:34.100 Like, I don't want, like, the New York glitz and glam of an immigrant lifestyle. 1.00

00:33:38.640 And I think that this is actually really true.

00:33:41.240 When immigrants often move to places like Miami and New York and San Francisco, they

00:33:48.560 were partially fooled, maybe by movies, maybe by people who oversold what it was like to

00:33:53.880 be an immigrant in these areas.

00:33:55.600 When immigrants move to Dallas, it's usually because they had a family member in the Dallas 0.93

00:33:59.060 area who's like, yeah, it's actually pretty nice here.

00:34:01.080 Come on out.

00:34:01.720 And so what you are getting is more of a wide, open-eyed, practical immigration standpoint,

00:34:09.940 but also an immigration standpoint that isn't utopianistic, but is pragmatic, right?

00:34:15.560 So, like, I'm not trying to move to the most perfect place that's ever existed.

00:34:20.920 And for that reason, when I see politicians getting rid of homeless people, I'm like, yeah,

00:34:25.640 that makes sense.

00:34:26.580 Like, I don't, I like, I have kids here, man.

00:34:29.340 Like, what do you, they, they, they, they keep hassling people.

00:34:33.880 Like, why would I, why wouldn't I not handle that?

00:34:36.820 And so I think that that is part of what it is, because I think that the, and I've noticed

00:34:41.860 this because we were around, I was actually looking at our school bus recently.

00:34:45.200 We're again around, I grew up around a heavily Indian community because Dallas is heavily

00:34:50.000 Indian.

00:34:50.360 So I had a ton of Indian friends growing up.

00:34:52.420 And recently I was looking at our school bus when it parked by our house in our neighborhood.

00:34:56.980 And I realized that I think our kid was the only white kid I could see on the entire

00:35:02.740 school bus.

00:35:03.820 The entire rest of the population was South Asian or Indian.

00:35:08.260 And in other words, what, the reason I say South Asian is I can't tell the difference 0.98

00:35:11.600 between Indians and Pakistanis.

00:35:13.200 I know that's super offensive.

00:35:14.560 So they could be Pakistanis. 0.54

00:35:16.280 Is it, wasn't the line kind of arbitrarily drawn?

00:35:19.740 It was arbitrarily drawn, but they hate each other now.

00:35:22.800 Um, uh, so I've got to pretend that they are two distinct groups when to me, they look

00:35:31.480 the same.

00:35:32.640 But anyway, the point being is our district, if you look at young people in our district,

00:35:36.920 like people of our age range is 70% South Asian, like our like small neighborhood area.

00:35:43.020 And so I was like, oh, it's weird that I'm moving into Indian community again.

00:35:46.740 They're great people.

00:35:47.780 So yeah, I'm not worried.

00:35:49.560 I'm not worried.

00:35:50.120 Like whenever I, I'll tell you what, but, uh, yeah, but if I go door knocking and miss

00:35:55.920 South Asian answers, like, I think I'm going to have a pretty good conversation. 0.57

00:36:00.040 Um, and all of my horrible experiences have been with white people every single one. 0.99

00:36:06.880 They're very entitled. 0.95

00:36:08.040 I've, I've seen was door knocking.

00:36:09.480 It's not just women. 1.00

00:36:10.640 It's men too.

00:36:11.600 And at the point, why are we so hot?

00:36:14.180 I've noticed East Asians are really nice when you door knock too, right?

00:36:17.780 Yeah.

00:36:18.500 That basically anyone who's not white has been amazing. 0.71

00:36:23.180 How, how have the black families been door knocking? 1.00

00:36:26.200 Awesome.

00:36:27.380 Super nice.

00:36:30.640 Like, I don't know.

00:36:32.360 Do you notice when you're door knocking the heavy South Asian population or is it just 0.51

00:36:35.760 that they're really heavy in the younger breeding groups in our area?

00:36:38.160 They're, they're, they're in all the nice houses.

00:36:42.800 They're wealthy in our area.

00:36:44.520 They're high achieving.

00:36:46.200 And a lot of them are pretty based.

00:36:48.700 I don't know.

00:36:49.720 I don't, I do not know how we have so many in our area.

00:36:51.780 I assume.

00:36:52.980 They're all, we're all working at SCI.

00:36:55.460 You know, these big corporate campuses we have here, like Pfizer is right next to our

00:36:59.040 house.

00:36:59.640 Yeah.

00:36:59.760 We have Pfizer.

00:37:00.600 Yeah.

00:37:00.720 Because like, I don't know.

00:37:01.460 I just, I'm assuming you're working at them because they're in the nice houses that cost

00:37:05.980 a lot.

00:37:06.560 And I like door knocking there because it's pretty.

00:37:10.200 Yeah.

00:37:10.640 You, you go to the rich neighborhoods.

00:37:12.480 Yeah.

00:37:12.580 I haven't just gone to the rich neighborhoods.

00:37:14.140 It's just that in the rich neighborhoods, people, especially if I'm door knocking on weekdays,

00:37:18.380 I'm more likely to be working from home.

00:37:19.840 And so I can actually reach someone.

00:37:22.020 Whereas in like apartment complexes and lower income areas, they have to work.

00:37:27.800 I can't, like they're not home.

00:37:29.740 They're not going to answer their door.

00:37:31.580 Well, I also always love the immigration stories when door knocking, because immigrants are like 1.00

00:37:36.220 way nicer to Republicans than other people.

00:37:40.420 Cause a lot of them come from countries where it used to be terrible. 1.00

00:37:44.120 And they're like, oh my God, I don't want to go that direction in America.

00:37:47.160 Like we've seen this was like the people who immigrated from China and stuff like that.

00:37:51.180 They're really like, oh my God, like you guys are saving the country sort of stuff,

00:37:55.760 which, you know, you know, okay.

00:37:58.960 Yeah.

00:37:59.240 There've been some, some Chinese families.

00:38:02.360 They weren't mean, just like very suspicious of me, but that's okay.

00:38:07.320 Cause I don't, I don't want people to knock on my door.

00:38:09.900 Like I don't blame people for that.

00:38:11.440 And you were, are you coming with a baby?

00:38:13.900 No, I was pregnant.

00:38:14.940 Like when I've met the, the, the, the memories I have with Asian families being very suspicious 1.00

00:38:20.140 of me was when I was pregnant, but I probably just looked fat.

00:38:23.360 So.

00:38:24.200 Oh, and that's a good reason to be suspicious of somebody.

00:38:26.280 Yeah.

00:38:26.540 It's a fat woman appearing at my doorstep and this is not a good situation, but yeah. 1.00

00:38:31.700 So the other thing I'm wondering though, and I don't know how much the stats are correcting

00:38:36.300 for this is the extent to which antinatalism is just getting and has been so bad in cities

00:38:42.020 where yes, families are, are actually, you know, actively moving out of cities, but also

00:38:48.660 we're just not seeing the same rates of people having kids and babies in cities and also high

00:38:56.300 fertility going to be priced out of cities. 1.00

00:38:58.200 The cost of living in cities being so high.

00:39:01.200 A spiral collapse of the ability to have children in cities and have them safely in cities, especially

00:39:09.540 as, and I think we're going to see this more and more with progressives.

00:39:12.520 I think we're already moving in this direction where people are going to see having kids as

00:39:16.240 a strict moral negative and are going to want to begin to make life harder for parents.

00:39:23.280 And I think that as the procreation of our species becomes increasingly partisan, I mean,

00:39:31.020 this is why we put together the Collins Institute.

00:39:33.980 As it becomes increasingly partisan, there is going to be less of a reason to, yeah, less

00:39:40.680 let the, the, the, the future of humanity is going to become increasingly inspired by conservatives.

00:39:46.240 It does make a difference though.

00:39:47.380 And I just, I wonder because in, in Seoul and in Tokyo and other, you know, Japanese cities,

00:39:54.540 there are awesome resources for kids, you know, changing tables and site or like little

00:40:00.080 seats.

00:40:00.440 You can put a baby in inside toilet stalls, amazing little shopping cart things for kids.

00:40:06.240 Like they're very, all the, all the crossroads we go at, they have a special parking for people

00:40:10.120 with infants.

00:40:11.080 Yeah.

00:40:11.600 And yet, you know, the birth rates aren't great there either.

00:40:15.480 And they're very kid friendly.

00:40:17.000 They're trying desperately.

00:40:18.960 Wait, who is?

00:40:19.860 I'm talking about cities in Tokyo and in Seoul as well.

00:40:23.200 I'm not talking about here.

00:40:24.380 Oh yeah.

00:40:25.180 But that's a completely different cultural context.

00:40:28.700 We've talked about why fertility rates being low there is different from the reason why

00:40:32.380 they're low here.

00:40:33.100 If people are wondering, go watch our, why are fertility rates low in Koreans or why can't

00:40:36.920 Koreans make these? 0.98

00:40:37.780 And it's like a picture of our baby.

00:40:39.480 Look, Korean fertility rates are a totally different reason than U.S. 0.96

00:40:42.620 And I'm just trying to make the argument that in a post-industrial society, is making things

00:40:51.660 pretty and easy for families really the thing that makes a difference?

00:40:55.720 No, I don't think so.

00:40:56.800 I think in the end, fundamentally, it's cultural and like a city making it more logistically

00:41:02.160 difficult for parents, I don't think is going to be the death knell.

00:41:05.960 It's, it's the way people live that ultimately fundamentally changes birth rates and family

00:41:11.040 formation.

00:41:12.880 Maybe.

00:41:13.540 I will say as well, one thing I would say for people who have stereotypes of suburbs, and

00:41:17.020 I've always found this really interesting, is the, this Octavian.

00:41:21.720 Oh.

00:41:22.640 How do I want to move?

00:41:25.080 And he is totally crashed out on my lap.

00:41:28.480 You should see Malcolm.

00:41:33.020 She's like, totally just done.

00:41:39.360 Milk drunk.

00:41:41.540 Very relaxed.

00:41:46.080 Like having a cat sleep on your lap.

00:41:48.040 You don't want to get up.

00:41:49.240 Just like warm and heavy.

00:41:51.160 You can get started on dinner early.

00:41:54.140 Okay, well, let's wrap it up then.

00:41:56.160 You want to say Octavian?

00:41:57.560 Octavian?

00:41:57.920 Well, I just did too early from school.

00:42:02.700 So it just takes a while.

00:42:05.380 Okay, and Octavian?

00:42:07.020 What do you mean to do something?

00:42:09.460 Octavian, do you want to live in a city or do you want to live where we live now by the

00:42:14.920 trees and the grass?

00:42:15.580 I want to go to a city.

00:42:17.520 You want to go to a city?

00:42:18.720 Tell me about it.

00:42:19.260 Why do you want to go to a city?

00:42:20.860 Why a city?

00:42:21.440 Because I really like cities to get some more toys.

00:42:29.900 So cities have toys.

00:42:31.260 Is that what's going on?

00:42:32.800 But doesn't Target have toys and that's near us?

00:42:35.420 Yes, I really want to go to Target and get toys.

00:42:38.540 Do you remember her in New York?

00:42:39.720 Would you want to live in New York?

00:42:45.500 He doesn't remember New York.

00:42:47.180 When he was taken, remember when we took Torsten and Octavian to New York when they were young

00:42:52.900 and I thought, oh, this is going to be great.

00:42:55.000 You know, they're going to play in all the parks and everything.

00:42:57.960 You know, everything's so walkable.

00:42:59.600 Central Park is huge.

00:43:00.980 There are lots of playgrounds there.

00:43:02.720 The playgrounds are so bad compared, oh dear, to the playgrounds we have.

00:43:07.440 I guess we're making dinner now.

00:43:08.940 You need to be careful about that, okay?

00:43:10.840 Oh, the playgrounds are really bad in New York City compared to what we have here.

00:43:17.220 And I just didn't think.

00:43:18.600 I thought Central Park is here a lot.

00:43:22.900 Do you know that, like, the swimming pools here have, like, water slides?

00:43:27.240 Wait, in our public corner?

00:43:29.320 In our area?

00:43:30.640 Yeah.

00:43:32.160 Wow.

00:43:33.100 Well, nothing beats the playgrounds in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

00:43:36.800 To our watchers, come on.

00:43:37.920 You've got to have something you want to say to them about the beach.

00:43:39.660 At least ask them to like and subscribe.

00:43:43.340 Is it the creek?

00:43:44.680 Yeah.

00:43:45.800 Is it going on a boat?

00:43:47.060 Yeah.

00:43:48.560 Okay.

00:43:49.400 Say like and subscribe.

00:43:50.880 Like and subscribe.

00:43:51.720 All right.

00:43:53.100 Like, wait, what?

00:43:54.360 No.

00:43:55.080 Like I described.

00:43:56.340 Oh, and I also want to make a video of being a turtle.

00:44:01.720 Okay.

00:44:02.140 You want to be a turtle?

00:44:02.980 Then become a turtle.

00:44:05.240 First, I need to drop something on me, okay?

00:44:08.780 Okay.

00:44:09.020 Go get something on you, and you can go be a turtle.

00:44:11.320 I will send you a picture of what he's referring to.

00:44:13.820 Okay.

00:44:14.040 I love you, Simone.

00:44:15.060 Come on down. 0.94
