reminder

what building is that

Birmingham Central Library, UK. In 1973 the incredible traditional structure built in 1882 was replaced with the monstrosity of modernism below. This has since been demolished to be replaced with the latest iteration of modernism.

this is what it looks like now

reminds me of Priština library

@Norik culture is illegal

Beauty and skills are illegal.

First thing in my suggested when I look this up was "Birmingham Central Mosque"

more photos of the library in question

This is what awaits you if this kind of people get their way.

The fact that the guy in the vid looks like stereotypical bugman urbanite is a cherry on top of it.

@NeoFuturist All 40 m2 off it. Great deal for a price of avrage monthly wage.

single family zoning is bad but for different reasons

>we must abaondun Single-Family Zoning becuz its muh white majority "insert soy boy face here"

The video didn't suggest commieblocks but it's still gay

Either way it makes sense to have some blocks simply because rent/housing prices are insane

he is a pod soyboy fuck him

because its a slippery slope from ending Single-Family Zoning and commie blocks replacing them

Kind of

If you could trust city governments you could gradually chip away at some of the suburbs so things grow organically

@Mr. Nessel are you listening to your self, new york already has commie blocks granted they look gentrified but still. it didnt change the fact that even these deplorable housings cost billions and are barely habitable. simply due to the fact that city housing is ridiculusly overpriced

If New York did not it couldn't possibly sustain a population as large as it is now

@Mr. Nessel also keep in mind that many european capitals and cities have a limit on how much floors can a building have, in order no to ruin the appeal of the city

Cities like Hamburg don't have skyscrapers, nor backyards etc. and rent is insane

the commie block would look like hostels rather than housing blocks

Also you could make blocks look decent

If you were to force people to not cut costs

i can attest to it. but generaly people are too greedy to pay for building maintanace and paintjob

thats the main reason why the commie blocks look so depressing on the outside

You know whats fun about Hamburg though?
