@Bones nice glue

i know pinks , our resident pony poster, either left or got yeeted

Also it's not neccesarily urban planners being "post modernists" as much as it is them wanting to provide affordable housing for people

The point is, single homes don't always cut it in dense urban environments

I’m the last hors poster

based

Tbh the best quote from a Russian politician is this america is being invaded by blacks and Hispanics

They make housing prices sky rocket

But you can have it both if you balance it right

Both single homes and apartment buildings

And on top of that you can have more beautiful architecture

@Andrew Popa 2.0 the problem is also their planning is more focused on property value over livability and natural expansion

Like the one shown in that image

Getting a permit in places like San Fransisco is like passing a camel through the eye of a needle

Literally

Because the housing prices are insanely high, yes

That's why California desperately needs a zoning reform

Thankfully their new governor approves of that apparently

High housing prices also enable people to mortgage their property for debt

In a way I have also seen this where I live

You have authentic architecture clustered in the old town center surrounded by communist era apartment block and you have single family homes in the suburbs

love that guy

pretty funny

And you have brutalism uglifying your skyline

But the main issue is not providing "beautiful" architecture as much as it is providing affordable housing

Because unfortunately enough "beautiful" architecture doesn't neccesarily cut it in big ass cities anymore

brutalism is purposely designed to dull spirits and pacify populace through sadness. you cannot change my mind

I wish we could just have less people

implying big-ass cities are worth conserving even at the expense of quality of life

I enjoy the brutalist Aesthetic.

In the context that in really really big cities you can't have authentic architecture all the time

Concrete jungles look depressing af

in an isolated sculpture maybe. urban architecture though? hurts to look at

However there are cases where you can make compromise

making compromises because reasons is how we got LGBT degeneracy seeping into children's education

And try to synthesize that authentic architecture into apartment buildings

i say no more easily abusable tolerance. any proposals for change should bring forth evidence or stfu
