Guiyang Huaguoyuan Community, where 500,000 people live, is said to be the largest residential area in Asia..Dense residential buildings with floors as high ...
This is what we'll end up with if we let the market yimbys win
Like, I get that this is so much better than like, Malaysia, but there's no trees, it's an inhuman scale, the uniform height of buildings is off-putting.
Like in terms of communist urbanism, Vietnam pre-imf reforms is much more compelling.
Everyone of those storefronts is at a more human scale than a walmart is. You'd think a leftist instance of all places would be the only place where I don't have to see a bunch of anglos frothing at the mouth after seeing a couple tall buildings.
I live on a 2nd floor apartment with adjacent roadside parking and and near a moderate traffic street. I am so fucking sick of hearing cars. Cars to wake me up at night. Cars to wake me up in the morning. Cars to ruin the enjoyment of opening window on a fair weather day. So if I see residential windows above street traffic I have automatic revulsion, all else equal.

The thing that sucks the most in the video that I see so far 7 mins in is the same thing that sucks the most anywhere: car-centric urban planning.
What you don't see is each of these residential units has a subway entrance within a 5-10 minute walk
