in evil communist china, you can usually just walk to the subway because a stop is within a 10 minutes walk of basically any condo

its almost like they... planned things

Americans don't wanna walk ten minutes though lol

Americans don't know what's good for them. You gotta force them to do good things and then they'll change their mind. Yeah, it's authoritarian. animengels

honestly, maybe im old as fuck, but a very short walk outside even in extreme heat feels great on my bones and is refreshing.

Honestly I'm a large guy, I totally get it. That's what skybridges and underground cities are for!

And many many more! Sure they can be a little sterile and many are public-private partnerships disgost but they can be a great tool in fighting some of the effects of climate change I think.

walking is boring af and takes far too long to get anywhere. fuck 15 minute cities give me a 1 minute city.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

So just like a city in one building? I love mixed use zoning let’s do it

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

yaah i'd fuck with an arcology, sure.

[-] [email protected] 45 points 2 years ago

yeah obviously they should build the cities shitty and then later maybe consider rebuilding them good but actually do nothing because nimbys would complain

[-] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago

Meanwhile, I can't even walk to the exit of my hellhole suburbs in 10 minutes agony-deep

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

In evil capitalist amerikkka you can find the same in dozens of cities, because civil engineers and planning commisions are things that exist.

[-] [email protected] 44 points 2 years ago

Woah, dozens of cities in one of the largest countries on the planet? Incredible! How does LA fair in that respect?

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
