    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 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

        Much rather sit for an hour being traffic and screaming inside their boxes at all the other fuckers being traffic with them

            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.

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

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