Never been to Dallas, what about it?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

I think the only rule they had when “planning” Dallas was “there are no rules”. Zero zoning rules means one giant skyscraper in the middle of a mile of strip malls, multiple city “centers”, vast areas of it are competely unwalkable due to lack of sidewalks and/or what are basically highways running through them, and no mass transit to speak of. It’s like they took 5 shitty, small cities and glued them together with more shitty city material.

I'm in Dallas and it fucking sucks, tons of suburban sprawl, tons of roads but public transit is barely functional and hard to design efficiently, a lot of the roads don't even have sidewalks or they just randomly end, the roads are designed in a way that promotes aggressive driving making it even more dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians, the local business scene here is depressing outside of restaurants and entertainment but there's like 20 Walmarts.

If there's an image, it doesn't load for me

dang... it's just this: My guess is that the person originally mentioning Dallas is contrasting the city's suburban sprawl and lack of public transit to Tokyo's urban density and bustling nightlife.

this one will load

the house sizes and spacing between houses is highly correlated to the girth of an average citizen.

So everything is as it should be and your eyes cannot unsee that

Get on the treadmill would solve the urban sprawl

No idea if this is true or not but now I will definitely have to start paying attention.
