Thanks for the Perth shoutout, it's a great city. I feel like Australia is really over represented in your videos but I'm not complaining:)
"If you live in a city with good public transport or as Americans call it; abroad" SAVAGE but true

“Fake bike lanes,” must be my favorite bit of shade in this. So casually dropped. 😂

Where is the most isolated city...

2022: Still Isolated.
If you need a place to have over 1 million citizens to count as a city, i can name several countries with no cities.
Kulfyr3 I feel like population isn’t the best way to define a city. Maybe it should be qualified based on infrastructure or the role it holds within it’s nation (for example, is it a capital city?)
Ljubljana has 280 thousand people, and it's considered a city in Slovenia, even if it's the smaller capital cities of other countries.
If Ljubljana HAS 1 million people living in it, that's half of Slovenia!
(Sorry for rambling on something)
I live in a place in the netherlands which has city rights but there are 13.000 inhabitants
Kulfyr3 In the UK it used to be the case that a town became a city if it got a cathedral or university.
Demographers tend to say more than 25,000 people in a municipality as defined by that country is a city, what do you do if a country doesn't define that well I personally don't know. Though personally I would think that if you have an area that averages more than 25,000 people and say an average of 1000 per square mile should count as a city.
What’s the most isolated city in the world?
2019: Honolulu, Hawaii
2050: Galena Station, Olympus Valley, Mars
Mars is not in the world though...
That's a bit optimistic. We've been on the moon 50 years ago (we have, get over it), but haven't gone further
@@sloppynyuszi because we went unnaturally early, now there are real incentives
I'd like to be wrong but I doubt that humanity is going to get enough air let alone other resources to Mars to be able to sustain a city of 100,000 or more within the next 30 years.

Ahem ahem
Well that actually was the case for WWI and II. Same could be argued for the Spanish-American War.
This is pretty much true after the civil war
:-D peacefull little kittens, they never harm anyone
Probably a joke but ok
America as a whole didn't want to even be involved in WWII. Clever planning in the Government, and Japan taking the worse course of action is what tipped the scales. To dumb a lot of fuel on America wanting revenge. If Japan had instead just focused on taking over Asia first, build up it's military with the new resources, and then went after the USA. Japan would have been a lot more terrifying.

I agree for the most part, but I have found shitty cold weather sometimes contributes to a city having a great progressive and creative feel and that warmer weather attracts the English who left England because the Polish were attracted to England’s warmer weather. /s

Perth to Adelaide is 2,750km by road. The road includes one section of straight flat road that is 146.6km long.

*_This post was made by the CZcams gang_*
I always appreciate how my home city, Perth, always gets a mention from HAI/Wendover, mostly because of our long flights though
Today in school I called America "Hawaiis sugar daddy" and now I have detention
too bad...
When Perth actually gets mentioned by someone who doesn't live there :D
How timely - I just got back from Adelaide, stopping over in Honolulu. Having visited Perth a little bit before that, it is crazy to have a city of that size be so isolated. But it felt a lot like San Diego which I was surprised by (similar population, climate, culture, etc.).
“Fake Bike Lanes” had to rewind just to make sure that’s what you said 😂

“Honolulu is the most isolated city in the world” I’d say Hilo isn’t that far.
He's used the relatively arbitrary figure of 100,000 people to define another city. I guess it's more, which major city is most isolated from other major cities.
For a city to exist, there has to be a surrounding economy - which usually means you are smaller supporting cities, towns, and villages around them - so even somewhere like Perth isn't entirely isolated.
I know how isolated honolulu is. I recently went on vacation there, and had to fly a really long time. I think it was like, 11 hours, though not all one trip. I started in hamilton, Ontario, in Canada.
It might be best to research Perth and the state of Western Australia a bit more. Western Australia is incredibly rich on mineral resources, and Perth has an excellent blend of cost effective housing/land and very high earning potential. If you can name another similarly first world affluent city that is funded by such an abundance of minerals, I'd sure love to hear it.
Oh my goodness I never knew about this until you told me thank you so much by the way I love your channel so much!

This video only talks about the most isolated city by distance to other major population center.
not the real most isolated city because it's so hard to get there and so hard to get out of there like Norilsk - Siberia (Russia)
Exactly, despite the distance Honolulu is super easy to get to. A round-trip ticket from the US West coast can be had for $400 and the flight is a mere six hours. I don't call that being isolated.
Hawaii has 2 other populations with almost 50K residents. I would consider those cities as well.
There are no roads going in or out of jeauno, the capitol of Alaska.

Hawaii could only last 3 weeks if it was cut off from its food imports.
I honestly would be surprised if it could even last that. hell, 1/2 that.
Daly City is 3 miles closer to Honolulu then San Francisco. Daly City has a population of 103,000 so by your definition it’s a city.
As a Perth dweller, we quite like being far away from the rest of the country a lot of the time. So much so that a succession movement has been bubbling away here for decades. Although, somewhat to visitors dismay, we tend to do things at our own pace, hence why WA really means "wait awhile".
One of the most smooth ad transitions, even for HAI... Take a bow!🙌🏽
