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

DON'T TRUST CHINA

CHINA IS ASSHOE

I mean I saw that picture in a post on R/Neoliberal and it really got me thinking

We can easily integrate more authentic architecture into dense housing

Imagine getting rid of term limits only to probably get kicked out of the top position because you mishandled a crisis

Imagine being Xi JingPing

A-hahahaha

But say in an area like SF tbh I'd actually suggest building earthquake resistant skyscrapers

balkanize china <:powerful:595334910764515338>
each region has the capacity to act as its own small nation anyway

Then again you can't really model the whole city just to suit an earthquake prevention scenario

@Ayylmao it's more drawn on Northern and Southern lines

give northern china to the taiwanese and the south to the japanese <:ahegao:462286952335671296>

nanking 2: back 2 the hood

@Ayylmao no, give manchuria to Japan

Majority of china is hinterland and unpopulated. The coast is where the population concentrates.

@Goddess Tyche back off the oil fields!
