I think it is on the "Bike È Legal"-blog. 5 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,120 William, you contacted the Transport Secretary 6 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,920 about the bike lane at Paulista, right? 7 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:32,720 I sent an email, and got no reply, as always. 8 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,640 In 2008, I moved here to study. 9 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,320 I planned to bring my car. 10 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:56,040 There was a lot of traffic and I was scared to drive. 11 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:03,160 I took the bus the first six months. It was very expensive. 12 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,040 One day, I rode my bike to the university. 13 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,800 I didn't know anyone in town. I did it on my own. 14 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,520 It was really scary. 15 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:35,200 But I arrived at school active, with a clear mind, 16 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,960 happier, more energetic and full of adrenalin. 17 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,160 This made me do that again and again. 18 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,560 One day I was a bike rider in São Paulo. 19 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:59,600 Today, I have a lot of friends, a true family here. 20 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:10,600 We are trying to understand what is happening to our city. 21 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,360 What influences the mayor's decision 22 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,800 in building cycle paths or a bridge for cars? 23 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,360 Why is public transportation expensive even though it's so bad? 24 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,560 Who makes the choice? What's the criterion? 25 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:38,040 Who funds this? What are their motives? 26 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:42,360 I think this is the key problem of every city. 27 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,320 I love bicycles and I hate to drive, so I really shouldn't be living in LA. 28 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,760 I want to be on my bike or walking as much as possible, 29 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:24,920 and I've pretty much constructed my life so that I can ride my bike often. 30 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,040 Do you want to go downstairs, kid, are you ready? 31 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,560 Are your shoes on the wrong feet again? Yes. Are you ready? 32 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:43,120 - You didn't pack any snacks? - I haven't packed any snacks, no. 33 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,640 - Come on. - No, I'm scared. 34 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,880 - It's too hard to walk down the steps. - 'Cause your shoes are on wrong. 35 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:58,280 - Sit right there while I open the garage. - It's time to open the garage! 36 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,560 Let's go! 37 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,400 In the end of the 19th century, beginning of the 20th century, 38 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,520 about 20% of the people in LA commuted by bike. 39 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,560 People didn't get in their car and drive two hours the way they do to work now, 40 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,160 people worked in their communities. 41 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,760 It was a different Los Angeles then. 42 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,000 All around LA in the 1900s 43 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,160 people were riding bicycles. 44 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,120 If you can just imagine 20% fewer cars on the street, 45 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,240 I mean that alone is like an idea that makes you happy. 46 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,320 So when you are doing exploration in Los Angeles, 47 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,400 you don't want to get into people's backyards too much, 48 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,480 that could get dangerous, someone could shoot you. 49 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,920 There used to be a bicycle freeway that ran through here. 50 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:18,600 - Do you know anything about that? - The slab's still there, it's city-owned. 51 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,920 - Cool. Well, thank you. - You're welcome. 52 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,040 It was probably like 7 or 8 years ago that I saw this iconic picture 53 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,400 of these cyclists coming down from Pasadena on this wooden boardwalk. 54 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,600 It was hard to believe. 55 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,760 My first thought was, where was that? Is it still there? 56 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,840 Why is it gone? Who tore it down? 57 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,320 What I often do is look between the houses, 58 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,960 because the cycleway would've been behind all these houses here. 59 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,600 When you see that picture, you can't help but wonder what it would be like 60 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:12,520 if every freeway in Los Angeles was a bicycle freeway instead of a car freeway. 61 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,280 Welcome to Cars and Coffee, Irvine. 62 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:43,280 If you're a car-lover, this is kind of Mecca for us. 63 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,480 What you see here is almost a hundred years' worth of automotive history, 64 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,760 sitting in this parking lot. 65 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:54,240 If you don't understand this, you don't understand automobiles. 66 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,800 The guys who drive these cars dream about being that race car driver. 67 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,840 They know they're not, but it makes them feel like they have that in them. 68 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,640 It makes them feel like they could be, 69 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,280 that they are driving the same car that some guy drove at Le Mans. 70 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,200 Or drove on Sunday race track. 71 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,320 "I could drive like him. And I want to be him." 72 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,560 And it makes you feel better about yourself. It just does. 73 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,920 Look at you... Mr. Man! 74 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,760 Beautiful... 75 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,840 - That was great, thank you. - Yes, that was a treat. 76 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,680 Do I want to have cleaner air for my kids? Do I not want climate change? 77 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:07,120 Yeah, you're damn right. And I think these things are facing us right now. 78 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,720 I'd say that everybody in this parking lot, even though we all love gasoline 79 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,040 and we all want, you know, our gas-powered cars, 80 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,360 at the same time, we want cleaner air and we don't want 81 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,040 the climate to be changing as dramatically as it is right now. 82 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,120 That's a scary thing for us. So these people want to do something too. 83 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,040 What you'll find is, at the end of the day, we're all fighting the war on oil. 84 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,000 Right? We're addicted to it. We want it and we love it. 85 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,720 It's really fun and it's part of who we are. 86 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,480 You got a hundred years of history sitting here in this parking lot. 87 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,720 You don't want to walk away from that, I don't want to walk away from that! 88 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,520 I'm not selling my gasoline car, and I'm as green as they come. 89 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,600 My name is Raquel Rolnik. I'm an urban planner, 90 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:06,120 professor of Urban Planning in the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism 91 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:10,640 of the University of São Paulo, Brazil. 92 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,200 And I just hate to drive. 93 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,920 - Watch it! - Whoops. 94 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,560 Didn't see it at all. Oh, I'm a very bad driver, I can tell you. 95 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,560 But there is no public transportation option for me 96 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,160 to come every day to the University. 97 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,440 Sometimes when you are driving, especially in traffic jam, 98 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:39,600 you say okay, I am going to leave this car here right now 99 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,520 in the middle of this street and I'm going to walk. 100 00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:46,760 I'm going to leave and I want this car to disappear. 101 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,160 And I know that this feeling, a lot of people have this feeling. 102 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,880 But it's impossible. How can you leave your car in the middle of the street? 103 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,440 What's going to happen? So it's impossible, so I would... 104 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,800 I wish I had a car that could disappear overnight. 105 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,360 If the car industry makes something like that, maybe it would be a good solution. 106 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,360 Something that disappears and then appears again. 107 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,120 Riding a bike in São Paulo is a huge challenge. 108 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,320 You need to have a strong will. 109 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:13,960 Julie was a happy and a very cool girl. 110 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:19,360 She was killed here in 2011. 111 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:30,040 She was hit by a bus on Avenida Paulista. 112 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,520 She was on her way to work. 113 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:39,240 She was a biologist, working with stem cells. 114 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:44,320 She used to bike calmly, she wasn't aggressive on her bike. 115 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:52,880 The bus was not in its lane. He squeezed her towards this lane. 116 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,800 Then, another bus ran over her. 117 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,840 When I see the ghost bikes, it's a shock. 118 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,440 Because it reminds me that it's possible to die biking. 119 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:21,360 It's a possibility and it sucks. 120 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,320 It reminds me that I'm in São Paulo. 121 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:41,960 When Julie died, we went there to understand what was happening, 122 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:46,720 why the cyclists get squeezed. 123 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:52,920 There's a place where the buses start accelerating, 124 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:57,040 they are able to overtake to get to the bus stop. 125 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:02,360 The bus driver can't really see the cyclist.

And when the car came along, everything got squashed. 164 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,560 I mean, here is the Arroyo Seco Parkway, 165 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,680 the first automotive freeway, the one that set the template 166 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:10,440 that turned Los Angeles into the car capital of the world. 167 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,760 They're just living side-by-side. And this dream of the cycleway here 168 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,120 forgotten, abandoned, closed off by fences. 169 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:25,440 And it is really not hard to look up and see the tracks above you 170 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,760 and hear the sound of the bicycles against the boardwalk 171 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:33,120 and imagine what it would be like to be on it today. 172 00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:00,640 The car industry wanted Los Angeles really badly. 173 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,280 They wanted to own Los Angeles, they wanted this freeway system built. 174 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,840 They saw the open road and had this vision of hundreds of miles of freeways. 175 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,560 They had visions of moving people quickly 176 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,520 and that really appealed to people. 177 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,600 They lobbied very hard and General Motors, 178 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,200 through shell companies, bought the bus lines. That was one of the first things. 179 00:21:24,360 --> 00:21:27,760 They slowly took over the mass transit system 180 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:32,720 and eliminated it in favor of freeways. 181 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:41,000 Starting around 1945, they begin to remove the trolley system: 182 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,200 The greatest mass transit system ever built in the history of mankind, 183 00:21:44,360 --> 00:21:47,520 spreading across this huge area. 184 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,520 And piece by piece, they begin dismantling it. 185 00:21:55,400 --> 00:22:01,840 And so by 1960, the last trolleys in Los Angeles were taken. 186 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,640 The tracks were torn up, the trolleys were brought out to Santa Monica Bay, 187 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:13,320 they were thrown into the bay, they sit there now being used as reefs. 188 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,440 All that infrastructure went away in a matter of years 189 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,000 and was replaced by freeways. 190 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,280 So the entire structure of LA is defined 191 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,800 by this desire of the car companies to expand 192 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:39,200 and to create this illusion of speed and convenience. 193 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:54,160 The idea of endless traffic jams became attached to Los Angeles really early. 194 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,640 And the early solution was: Too much traffic? Let's widen the freeway. 195 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:02,120 So you see the Pasadena Freeway going from two lanes, to four, to six. 196 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:08,080 You see the 5 Freeway going from four to five, to ten, to twelve, in some places. 197 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,680 The problem is always that the more you build, 198 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,080 the more capacity you build for freeways, the more people will ride it. 199 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,560 No matter how much freeway we build and continue to build in Los Angeles, 200 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,720 traffic has gotten worse. 201 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,160 Southern California is bracing itself for epic gridlock. 202 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,680 One of the world's busiest freeways 203 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,080 is about to be shut down for the entire weekend. 204 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,520 All the drivers are getting ready for what they're calling "Carmageddon". 205 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,280 Flying in a helicopter will be the only fast way to get around this weekend. 206 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:51,280 Because when the 405 is shut down, traffic experts predict total chaos. 207 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:56,440 For us not to have access to freeways is like the end of the world, it really is. 208 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:01,040 They're closing ten miles of the 405 Freeway for construction this weekend. 209 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,360 It's going to be chaos. 210 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,440 Anywhere else this might be a minor nuisance, 211 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,360 but the 405 is the busiest, 212 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:12,600 most legendarily traffic-clogged, highway in America. 213 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,920 Good morning, everybody and thank you for joining us this morning. 214 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,400 Anybody who would decide to have a press conference on the 405 215 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,840 at 9 o'clock in the morning is trying to make a point. 216 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,240 It's paralysis just getting here today.

558 00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:34,800 Because many developers have huge pieces of land that are very inexpensive, 559 00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:37,640 so they make a lot more money using those lands 560 00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:40,280 and having people live far away. 561 00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:42,520 And then putting a lot of pressure on the government 562 00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:46,000 to build roads and to build bridges. 563 00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:10,120 FINANCIAL SUPPORT GIVEN TO POLITICAL PARTIES 564 00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:13,160 CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES: 268 MILLION USD 565 00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:26,640 BIGGEST FUNDERS SINCE 2002 566 00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:35,200 DONATIONS: Camargo Construction Co. 567 00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:40,480 Andrade Gutierrez Construction Co., OAS Construction Co. ... 568 00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:52,240 THE CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES, CAR INDUSTRY AND OIL COMPANIES 569 00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:56,240 ARE THE MAIN FINANCIAL DONORS 570 00:59:56,400 --> 01:00:00,040 SUPPORTING POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS IN BRAZIL 571 01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:34,280 We are here, Unter den Linden, we also call it "Unter den Lobbyisten". 572 01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:36,640 Which translates into "among the lobbyists", 573 01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:39,920 because we have so many lobby offices along the road. 574 01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:46,440 Our data shows German politics has a clear bias 575 01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:47,880 towards the car industry. 576 01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:53,160 I will tell you a story about what that means for the environment. 577 01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:57,320 Here we are, as you've seen, in front of the Mercedes Benz café. 578 01:00:57,480 --> 01:01:00,160 You probably have noticed that Daimler or Mercedes Benz, 579 01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:04,000 they try to present themselves as a sustainable company. 580 01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:09,400 In comparison to all its European competitors, 581 01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:14,440 cars produced by Daimler are the worst in Co2 emissions. 582 01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:22,000 I'm sure you all know these, so-called efficiency labels. 583 01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:28,440 So what do you think this Fiat 500, 584 01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:30,920 where should it be in this list?

They're parents and mothers and fathers, 608 01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:10,720 they breathe the same air we all breathe. 609 01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:13,680 So if you hear that they're lobbying against it, if you hear they fight it, 610 01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:17,680 they're fighting it because they want to have it happen in a more natural way 611 01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:22,040 and to happen in a more organic way because there was risk to their business. 612 01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:24,800 You have to understand that. And that's why they do what they do. 613 01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:27,200 Don't think they're bad people, don't think they don't want clean air. 614 01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:29,960 Don't think they don't want better fuel economy - of course they do. 615 01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:37,200 You're going to watch over the next 10 to 15 years, 616 01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:41,680 I think we're going to see the automotive industry and a significant transition 617 01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:46,600 from what it was to what it's going to be. But it's always going to have that. 618 01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:49,160 There's always going to be a gasoline engine and we're always going to have it. 619 01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:51,840 It doesn't need to go away, we don't need it to go away. 620 01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:10,520 Hold the plank and walk yourself back. 1, 2, 3, 4, without sticking your bum out. 621 01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:13,960 And back up. That's what we need to do again. 622 01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:19,360 Los Angeles is a city that is controlled by its city council members. 623 01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:23,600 So if you want something done in this district, if you want a freeway expansion, 624 01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:27,160 if you want bike lanes on Figueroa Street. The city councilman 625 01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:29,600 has the power of life and death over you. 626 01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:33,000 There have been 9 fatalities on North Figueroa in 10 years. 627 01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:38,920 If we do not add bike lanes to calm traffic, then what will we do to save lives? 628 01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:41,560 Because this is part of an ongoing conversation, 629 01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:45,600 I want to be positive and constructive. We had another meeting last month. 630 01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:50,360 I think all of us have to be honest, we didn't do so well on the dialogue. 631 01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:55,400 Unless we say Jerry Springer is the type of dialogue we want to have. 632 01:05:57,440 --> 01:06:01,080 So I'm looking up how much our local city councilman got from Chevron. 633 01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:03,400 He received, over the past few years, 634 01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:08,080 11,000 dollars in direct contributions from Chevron. 635 01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:12,480 Chevron spent a 1.8 million dollars 636 01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:17,040 on lobbying to defeat an anti-global warming bill. 637 01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:20,720 Chevron's interest is to see more freeways built, 638 01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:23,080 to keep the number of cars going, 639 01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:26,360 they own more gas stations than anyone else in Southern California, 640 01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:29,960 to not have environmental regulations on their refineries, 641 01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:34,600 and to generally make sure they have someone friendly on their legislature. 642 01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:39,760 As I was asked before what amount of deaths are acceptable 643 01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:44,040 in comparison to speed. I mean. 644 01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:49,760 I lost my wife... 645 01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:52,160 You want to ask me a question of what's acceptable 646 01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:54,760 in terms of somebody's death? 647 01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:59,160 Zero. That's our goal. Zero. 648 01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:03,360 Until he came into power, it was very unusual 649 01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:07,240 for these kind of corporate interests to interfere in LA City Council elections. 650 01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:10,560 As the city council is a very local job. 651 01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:13,400 And it involves helping local people. 652 01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:19,560 There is no question in my mind that that money will be used 653 01:07:19,720 --> 01:07:23,440 when he makes the decisions to whether we going to build new freeways 654 01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:24,920 and build bike lanes. 655 01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:27,920 I cannot imagine the oil companies do not expect 656 01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:30,000 a payback on their investment. 657 01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:33,600 So thank you everybody, enjoy your evening, drive home safely, 658 01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:38,720 and we look forward to talking to you again. God bless everybody. 659 01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:56,280 I believe that the car industry 660 01:07:56,440 --> 01:08:01,360 has spun a web that has caught the public and the politicians 661 01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:06,080 that is very hard to break. 662 01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:12,920 Quiet! 663 01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:18,760 - He speaks for the Mayor! - Quiet! 664 01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:23,200 My dad is upstairs resting. It's Sunday... 665 01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:27,360 Ask him to come down. We need to talk to him! 666 01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:30,360 He promised to see us. 667 01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:35,800 This is a precedent. Choose a group of representatives, 668 01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:40,480 and he will meet them. But not at his house, on a Sunday... 669 01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:50,920 When we start talking about closing down car industries, 670 01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:59,360 we are talking about shifting completely the economic model of development. 671 01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:07,880 I'm talking about a very broad coalition between unions and business. 672 01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:14,040 And their lobby, their participation in the power structure 673 01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:18,680 and in the decision-making of policies of the country. 674 01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:23,520 That's why it's so difficult to change things. 675 01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:31,840 We all say different things, we're not organized. 676 01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:36,320 We must have a letter, a manifesto, to deliver to the Mayor... 677 01:09:36,480 --> 01:09:39,880 We need to organize, get articulated, otherwise... 678 01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:42,960 You know what will happen? He'll talk to a few of us, 679 01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:45,920 and say: "I've talked to the cyclists." 680 01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:50,360 And then what? Who is who here? We don't have any representatives. 681 01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:54,680 It's all about representation. 682 01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:01,160 Could we go for a coffee? It's cold. 683 01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:16,320 We're reaching a point where it's impossible to live. 684 01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:23,720 In São Paulo, the hospitals are filled with children 685 01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:28,520 and elderly people who are sick from air pollution. 686 01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:36,400 It's a pity that people don't see that it's an endless black hole 687 01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:39,680 and that everybody is going down. 688 01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:43,960 I think the cities are collapsing. 689 01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:46,400 There's not much we can do. 690 01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:52,080 It's very difficult to reverse because cities are based on money. 691 01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:58,840 Which other industry has the money to face the car industry? 692 01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,000 I don't know of any. 693 01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:09,400 In seven more years, from one billion to two billion cars. 694 01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:12,200 What is that? A disaster. 695 01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:16,040 And you don't need a crystal ball 696 01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:19,920 in order to see how much it will be a disaster. 697 01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:24,520 You just go to Mumbai, you go to Jakarta, you go to São Paulo, 698 01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:28,200 or any big city and you can see for yourself 699 01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:34,560 the situation where a car-oriented policy could lead: Nowhere! 700 01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:40,960 The reality is that there is not one city in the world, medium-size or large, 701 01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:45,040 that has solved the issue of mobility through the private car. None. 702 01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:50,240 And there is absolutely certainty that having more highways 703 01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:55,840 and more flyovers is not going to solve the issue of traffic congestion. 704 01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:02,920 We are at a very exciting time and we need to develop a sense of urgency. 705 01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:05,240 Because the population is going to grow 706 01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:08,600 another two and a half or three billion people. 707 01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:15,440 Whatever we do or don't do is going to be there for hundreds of years. 708 01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:21,440 So we need to decide: How do we want to live? 709 01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:32,480 ...painted my soul gray 710 01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:34,680 but they didn't dry my eyes 711 01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:37,240 Buckled up my chest... 712 01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:42,040 The traffic jam is the solution. 713 01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:45,760 Before the traffic became so bad, 714 01:13:45,920 --> 01:13:51,440 it was very difficult to argue for alternative modes of transportation. 715 01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:55,400 They put that knife in my chest... 716 01:13:55,560 --> 01:14:00,280 Because of the traffic jam, it's much more easy to overcome 717 01:14:00,440 --> 01:14:05,960 this hegemonic mode of organizing cities 718 01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:14,320 towards a paradigm shift that includes bikes and public transportation. 719 01:14:14,480 --> 01:14:20,080 But also new ways of building our cities. 720 01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:30,680 I think 50 years of experience shows us 721 01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:37,000 that you cannot make life better in the city by making more room for cars. 722 01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:39,760 LA has been the absolute worst polluted city 723 01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:43,120 9 out of 10 years for the past 5 decades. 724 01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:47,040 And the only way to make it change is to reduce the number of cars. 725 01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:54,280 The only way to genuinely reduce cars 726 01:14:54,440 --> 01:14:57,000 is to make it more expensive to have cars. 727 01:14:57,160 --> 01:14:59,080 Which means reducing the number of car lanes, 728 01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:00,600 reducing the amount of parking, 729 01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:03,640 increasing the prices, and adding toll roads. 730 01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:09,240 And really making cars bear the cost to society that they actually create. 731 01:15:14,400 --> 01:15:19,560 The citizens cannot be spectators of how the cities grow. 732 01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:24,040 The citizens need to participate and develop a sense of urgency 733 01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:29,360 and pressure the politicians to make the right decisions. 734 01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:53,840 Hello! So you came! 735 01:15:55,280 --> 01:15:58,240 Another round today! 736 01:15:58,400 --> 01:16:02,800 - What's today's agenda? - Money, money, money...! 737 01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:09,240 Driving cars doesn't work anymore. 738 01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:13,240 We've got to have alternatives. One of them is investing in cycling. 739 01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:18,120 It's crucial that City Council invests money in cycling, 740 01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:21,040 and that the projects get going. 741 01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:36,080 We have to go through the budget again 742 01:16:36,240 --> 01:16:41,080 because of the debt limit of the city. 743 01:16:41,240 --> 01:16:46,080 Everything is more complicated now and takes more time. 744 01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:50,560 It's going to be twice as hard. 745 01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:57,400 But we haven't abandoned this project, we are working on it. 746 01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:07,320 There is optimism. The new mayor at least is open to having a dialogue. 747 01:17:07,480 --> 01:17:11,440 But you know, that doesn't change the city. 748 01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:16,880 As we say in Brazil, you've got to have balls. 749 01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:29,480 In 2011 they were shutting down the 405, which is the busiest freeway in the world. 750 01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:33,640 And true to the culture of disaster which Los Angeles seems to be obsessed with, 751 01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:36,720 they called it Carmageddon. And they just drilled into us 752 01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:39,720 what a nightmare this was going to be shutting down this freeway. 753 01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:42,680 Think of China and what you've seen on TV, 754 01:18:42,840 --> 01:18:48,440 where they have nine-day long traffic closures on their freeways. 755 01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:50,600 It's going to be like that for two days. 756 01:18:50,760 --> 01:18:55,120 The only way we get through this is by everyone staying far away. 757 01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:57,280 That Friday night they shut down the freeway 758 01:18:57,440 --> 01:19:01,080 and the next morning, on Saturday, we woke up and we went outside. 759 01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:04,360 And it was... It was Utopia. 760 01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:16,520 I took my bike out and I hit empty streets. 761 01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:22,320 Everybody was so scared of Carmageddon that they... 762 01:19:22,480 --> 01:19:27,280 ...they stayed home or they commuted to work via public transportation. 763 01:19:27,440 --> 01:19:33,800 People stayed local, at night they ate in local restaurants, they walked places. 764 01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:38,480 And the streets were clean and open. 765 01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:47,280 I really wanted to put my bike on the 405 Freeway and ride on the 405. 766 01:19:47,440 --> 01:19:50,960 I rode my bike up Santa Monica Blvd and then I headed north 767 01:19:51,120 --> 01:19:53,920 alongside the 405, past Pico. 768 01:19:54,080 --> 01:19:57,240 And there was kind of a more furtive ramp there. 769 01:19:57,400 --> 01:19:59,840 And there was a police car there. 770 01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,280 So I kind of got disheartened but I rode around 771 01:20:02,440 --> 01:20:05,080 and about after 1 AM, I started coming back. 772 01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:07,680 I went back by that ramp and nobody was there. 773 01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:12,680 So I took my bike and I put it over the blockage to the ramp. 774 01:20:12,840 --> 01:20:18,880 And I got up on this freeway and it was amazing. 775 01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:21,800 It was expansive and vast. 776 01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:27,000 For the first time, up on that freeway, I felt like this massive infrastructure, 777 01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:31,960 this miracle of human engineering, was also built for me. 778 01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:49,360 One day, we woke up and everybody on the Internet was like: "Yay!" 779 01:21:49,520 --> 01:21:53,040 "Downtown, bicycles!" 780 01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:06,080 The combined effects of a new mayor and a strong bicycle movement... 781 01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:14,920 ...led to a plan to instate 400 km of bike lanes. 782 01:22:17,200 --> 01:22:19,560 And now it's happening. 783 01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:28,160 City Hall with the red carpet right in front of it. 784 01:23:28,320 --> 01:23:31,520 Who would have believed that? It's really crazy. 785 01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:33,720 Who would have guessed? 786 01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:36,040 Cool. 787 01:23:57,080 --> 01:24:00,560 I think more and more people in LA are coming to love the bicycle. 788 01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:04,240 I don't think it will ever be the dominant form of transportation, 789 01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:08,160 but more and more people are realizing it's the best form of transportation. 790 01:24:08,320 --> 01:24:11,560 Even people who might never ride a bike say to me: 791 01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:13,920 I wish I had the nerve to ride a bike. 792 01:24:17,880 --> 01:24:23,040 It is a shift in paradigm, at least.
