Hi everyone! We've seen a recent surge in new Patrons. Thanks and welcome! One hundred percent of the money that you provide to the channel goes directly into the operation of the channel. In the past year, Patreon money has helped pay for a trip to Los Angeles so I could do the streetcars video and attend Educon. Patreon money has also paid for ne...

How do cities grow? On the surface, this question has a pretty simple answer. Cities grow out. They start out small, and as more people move in, they get bigger. Sure, cities grow up, too, but here in the United States cities really grow out. But there’s more to it than that. Cities grow out ...

Help me test my live-streaming skills and ask my some questions about cities or the channel! I may make this livestream public or available to Twitter later on.
2018-09-21 20:57:04 +0000 UTC View PostI want to do more YouTube livestream Q&As in the future, but I need some practice first. I'll be doing a test livestream Friday, September 21st at 2pm Pacific, 5pm Eastern for my Town, City, and Metropolitan level patrons. I'll post a link to the livestream here on Friday. Feel free to drop by and chat with me. Can't wait!

This video is a departure from my usual videos: it's 35 minutes long and is primarily SimCity 2000 gameplay. Don't worry, I'll be back with normal videos very soon. I just thought it would be fun to do something different -- a summer break for the channel. :D
2018-07-20 22:21:16 +0000 UTC View PostHappy summer! Here's a quick rundown of what's happening here at City Beautiful.
1. I've sent out postcards to everyone who sent me addresses. Expect them in your mailbox soon!
2. I've tweaked the perks a bit. City and Metropolitan level patrons will get their names listed on every video published while they are at those levels, not just th...

Street Trees
I live in Sacramento, and when I moved here I learned two things quickly. First, Sacramento summers are hot. Like really hot. Many days are over 100 degrees. The second thing I learned is that Sacramento is livable, even with those high te...
2018-05-28 20:52:12 +0000 UTC View PostWe’ve have a lot of new Patreon patrons joining the community in the last couple of weeks (hi, and thanks!). I thought it would be a good time to share some updates on the channel and set a time for the May Google Hangout.
