now THIS is good urbanism
screw suburbs
Kowloon was the closest anyone has every gotten to real communism.
Pic related is the beautiful paradise shitlibs want.
In interviews, former residents fondly remember it but know why it had to go.
I feel like it had an influence on cyberpunk writers of the time.
This is proof that Asians are insectoids. All about appearance, but hivemind and community underneath.
This looks like an interesting setting for a game or a book
i thought kowloon got torn down a couple years ago
but they're connecting 9 cities together around Hong Kong to form the world's first true megacity
Kowloon is absolutely the first instance of real world cyberpunk
>603 people per 5000 sq ft
Jesus fuck gooks really are bugs.
People like insects
live in hive that suits them best
will never be human
kowloon was sick in shenmue 2
you fucked up your haiku
a long while ago. I've seen this picture a few times recently. How big is the area that this proposed megacity would occupy. I have no frame of reference for the distances between those current cities
>no laws?
>Plenty of fresh and clean food
None. I might be wrong but because of some international law loophole , britan actually owned the land, but did nothing , and neither did the chineese, so no laws.
>Humam hive
Proof chinks are souless insects
I've long been fascinated with the place, an underused place in fiction. And no I wouldn't live there but it would've been cool to stop by and watch the Kumite.
>living in a city
literal ant people
but they have such tight pussies
i can go there as a working class brit, sell all my assets and exchange my pounds to their pebble currency, basically become the richest man of kwanloo. Form a triad and run shit like a mafia - protection money, selling illegal booze, etc.
Wish me luck lads, rapes, murders and theft are going to skyrocket in the next 5 years.
I don’t understand the perspective I’m supposed to be viewing the image from. In some places it looks top down and in others it looks like in viewing it from the side but there’s no exit from some of these rooms in that case.
That’s a fuckin dude face what the hell
I still don't understand how Asians came to be in terms of their high intelligence / low morals / non-existent empathy
I know they were repeatedly raped and pillaged for hundreds of years by mongrols and that there is literally nothing left of the original dynasty, but it doesn't explain the almost insectoid like behavior and attitude towards the world.
It's truly fascinating
>los angeles
>nyc
i think china technically owned it but they stayed away because it was the Jow Forums of cities.
>looking at a woman's face
fag detected
How did that shit never burn down and kill everyone inside?
Just look at this shit.
Sounds comfy AF
A ancap neet paradise
What's that? Free range Triad victims in the bucket?
And to answer OPs question, Fuck. No.
Kowloon is such an interesting concept. It's too bad it's not around today, although maybe that's a good thing.
I would have liked to visit it at least once.
This.
It was literally too moist with shit sweat and leaking pipes to burn
>that hideous tattoo
She's completely worthless now.
Interdasting
Was it real communism?
Still better than the mainland
Cyberpunk died when Kowloon was demolished
you can still go to Kowloon user, they still live like this. Smells like gutter oil everywhere.
that's a fucking gross trap!
100% Correct. It was the modern start of the gentrification of human culture and history.
I would argue the other way, it was the closest we ever got to anarcho capitalism.
What makes Kowloon interesting is that it did not fall. I wonder who engineered the building.
Kowloon is pretty much a favela that operates vertically.
the self-taught electrician putting it up is probably a bigger expert than your local electricity company's methead buffoon
>5 people per 5000 km in New York
Yeah maybe the fuckin state of New York
sqft not km
it looks like blade runner if it was set in a futuristic brazilian favela.
No one did. The laborers just decided to build upward with no architectural knowledge. There was little to no planning or involvement from engineers.
>chinks are literal insect termite people
>be gook
>left to my own devices
>build fucking termite mound
>caffeine, nicotine and sex w/children all day, gambling all night
Seriously, wtf with chinks?
cyberpunk never died is just came true. We are living in a cyberpunk world. Think about it when I am not watching anime, or fomenting revolution by way of memetics, I trade bitcoin, or keep up on the latest intelligence cables via wiki leaks.
We are living the dream just with less neon and more Mexicans. Shits fucked
That looks, oddly, incredibly comfy
kids these days think favelas with neons lights = cyberpunk
That looks like Red dwarf
It was already demolished my dude
>living the dream
>just fewer neon lights and more mexicans
Cyberpunk will never exist until the Chinese overthrow their communist government.
Cyberpunk can only be realized with Asians, and the Japanese are too proud and clean to let things get as bad as Kowloon. Additionally, with the population problem Japan is facing, they will never build as compactly as needed for real Cyberpunk
Aka every city of niggers ever?
This. It looks like a cyberpunk ancap city.
Niggers can't build up - they lack the knowledge to create structures.
See africa
The only multi-level structures were built either during colonial times with white instruction or in modern times by the chinese
colombia has a place sorta like this but not as impressive.
Are you seripusly claiming that there are no multilevel structures in Africa? I know Africa is a shithole but use common sense you retard
>China
>Communist
sub Saharan? no
if you mean Egypt that was built by whites
You iberians must lack reading comprehension
From my post:
>communist government
Their government is undeniably communist, or as they call it "Chinese-Style Socialism"
Their economic system is hybrid in many places
5000 ft^2 = 464.51 m^2 = 21.55 x 21.55 m
There are multilevel building in sub saharan africa you inbred use basic reasoning. Or better yet google.
They're as communist as north korea is democratic. Communism cannot exist soley as a political system, it is inextricably tied to economic policies.
>an underused place in fiction
Look up Shadowrun: Hong Kong, if you partake of the video jew.
Eletric wires only allowed outside.
yeah because we fund them
we give them billions every year in aid
also the Chinese own pretty much all the resource rights in every sub Saharan country
blacks over their dont even own their own countries, its not really blacks who are industrializing Africa
you have to be 18 to post here
Please ask your teacher to explain it to you tomorrow in class
Otherwise read the books yourself
>what is European control of Africa
it looks comfy because it's not the city, but a kowloon themed arcade in japan
>Honk Kong
>New York City
>LA
>people
the place is ANCAP in it truest sense the only law enforced by the triad
you must understand that they come there on their own will the only reason why they cram to that place BECAUSE it has no law and there are jobs unlike the mainland China
if the no law zone was bigger they wouldn't cram in there so much
truth
Kowloon city had to be taken down
>poor living conditions
>rampant prostitution
>triad activity
>police literally afraid to do patrols there
>drugs all that good stuff
Mmmmm
Omfg...plz go to 8:40
Between ShenZhen and Huizhou it's 1.5-2 hour drive
That was one of the main factors leading to it's fate
Yeah true, stinks less than Paris and the people are less cramped nowadays
White Brit fags did this. We should put all pol fags into these living arrangements.
Ever read about the bolluck farming that went on there?
The hookers who had male kids would sell their sons who'd be harvested of their testicles for Russian oil moguls and rich fucks who wanted a bigger sack between their legs.
This, and believe it or not, it worked.
Not a single one of those unregulated buildings ever collapsed.
Bigger sacks? From Chinese??
Kowloon was a foreshadowing of what's to come.
We may be advancing technologically, but at the same time, the gap between rich and poor continues to widen.
In California, tent cities are sprouting up everywhere, every square inch of sidewalk and riverfront. Police are either too cucked by law to do anything or there's just too much shit to deal with that they've become little pockets of anarchy, maybe kleptocracy because of gangs. Millions of illegal immigrants...with no documentation...who knows what's going on in these places?
House prices will continue to be astronomically high, pushing more and more people out on the streets. The opioid addiction only makes this shit happen faster. All those new $1500/month condominiums they keep building for some reason will soon become abandoned and occupied by squatters.
Congress will become so divided that there will be more and more government shutdowns...basically making the government utterly useless.
Dollars become useless, people start using cryptocurrency.
We'll be an an-cap nation in no time.
Not really, it rather is an example that order always emerges from chaos, be it stars and solar systems from massives clouds of dust or social orders and cities built without governance. To say this place had no law is folly, it had whatever laws these people lived by. Things were built right by necessity as opposed to regulation. As well Asians are incredibly good at building ordered societies so frankly I think this kind of thing may be a uniquely Asian phenomena.
Would have been an-cap paradise if it could have gotten rid of the organized crime although admittedly it wasn't as bad as you would have expected and it lessened as the years went on.
And at least when it was demolished it's citizens got $10k each to find somewhere else.

How was your day
Name all films that were shot within the KWC
got any cool cyberpunk pics?
What's the most interesting thing that ever happened there?
...caffeine, user? No. Goods are fuelled entirely by equal parts heroin and highly potent amphetamines. See:opium dens
