TLDR: Watching Not Just Bike and other urbanist YouTube videos alone isn't going to do anything. We actually need to advocate for this in our local communities and city councils to get stuff done.

Agreed, and the process of actually getting things to change can vary a lot depending on which city we're talking about. Why should these content creator know how things work in YOUR city?

Not these content creators specifically. This guy's just pointing at the lack of local level content creators who promote organization of such things. As he showed, it is not as easy as getting into council meetings and "doing stuff". There are many complexities associated with this process, that could be made much easier if there were videos on this topic.

Also, the video mildly criticizes NJB for his recent doomerism. That is all.
