American cities

Technically Finland is a Third World country, since they were neutral during the Cold War :^)

I wish we had this much downtown parking nowadays...

Public garden or square

You can never have too much green

Large parkades are a seriously underrated piece of urban infrastructure.

This makes the mutt angry

At least all the new buildings have several floors of parking built in underneath them, so those people who live and work don't clog up the street parking. I don't want to get sideswiped by delivery trucks though.

Do Americans not have public parks/playground within walking distance of there homes?

countries that have populations barely larger than one US city have no right to an opinion, sorry

Unironically no but ironically yes.

They dont even have actual yards.

that's probably true for OP's pic. However, there are some places where the city government will require you to have a certain number of parking spaces on private land when you build a building. Adding an underground garage to the building is very expensive, so a lot of these developers will opt for parking lots.

I don't, I have to drive if I want to go to the park.

We have paid vacation time you dumbby head

Weird seeing Hong Kong and Singapore so high up this list considering they are basically just a single city.

>graph with no scale
Very cool

How much? Two weeks in year?

United States of America more like the United PARKING LOTS of America.

Easier said than done with mandatory parking minimums. Zoning laws in most US cities are beyond retarded and pretty much prevent proper dense growth

thats because its a gay interactive graph,

Just started my first real job out of college and I get 3 weeks, which is a ton. Average is about 2 weeks I would say, maybe a little less.
My mom switched jobs recently and has to start out with only 5 days vacation lol.

He means mandatory paid vacation. Which America has none. So unless you work a certain job, you're fucked.

This just isn't sustainable.

Here's a short doc of how the US basically ended up expanding their own cities extremely wide and how suburbs where essentially built around the car.
I don't fucking like Vox at all by the end of 2018, but this is a pretty infuriating reality in the US and Canada that should be addressed.
After I lived in bangkok on exchange anything was way easier to access for convenience, retail, etc. Parking is a contributing factor as to how population density in NA ended up being so skewed and the public is still being fucked by exponential costs and taxes leaving more responsibility to inefficient governance

I'm interested in this because I'm studying civil engineering, but also it's one of the most self destructive policies as it comes to the individual tax payer.

Sounds like socialism to me.

Sounds awful!

Market religion is strangest religion of all

The savage beasts of the New World laid bare.

yep. the cities that were built around the car are becoming LA tier traffic hellholes now due to an influx of people to areas with completely unscalable infrastructure. Atlanta is already at that level, you can see it in most larger Texan cities as well. Fuckload of sprawl due to formerly low population density allowing people to live in the suburbs and commute in for work reasonably quickly has caused commutes that used to take 30 minutes to take 1.5 hours. I happen to be lucky enough to live and work off our very limited train system in Atlanta, and my commute is about 40 minutes one way (20 minute train ride, 20 minute walk).

Driving that same distance in rush hour (13 miles, 21 km) is pretty much a guaranteed hour to hour and a half.

Sounds like the entire developed world, except one retard to me.

>Belgium
FFS that country is confetti sized...

So by your logic your ancestors were retarded mutts because they didn't live in a place that had been civilized for millenia yet?

But you are the mutt.
>inb4 im mexican
That's the actual mutt you dumb monkey.

This picture took me for a ride for a second

There is a playground and a public pool within 5 minutes of walking from my house.

right. But I think we’d make less money if that happened.

Open Google Maps, and look at Houston
More shit has already been built

Houston is a fucked city desu. There is no defending it

Umm I believe the South should be nuked sweetie
That doesn't mean I can't tell a retard that he's a retard

It's called PAID vacation

no, I mean wages would be less.

>implying north american urban """""""development""""""""" is just part of a natural growth cycle and not the result of deliberate policies, big finance incentives and fucked up consumer tastes

there's nothing natural about it. united statesian cities are an abomination and 90% of urban space in this country should be razed

just use transit.

>implying americans have anything except endless detatched houses within walking distance of their homes

check out the walkscore.com walkability heat map of US cities to learn how much of an abomination they are

>tfw this is true

in the US a huge factor in the decline of cities was racism. white fear was intentionally stoked by real estate speculators, who made massive profits blockbusting entire cities by convincing whites that non-white hordes posed an imminent threat to their neighborhoods, which allowed them to buy the white homes below market value and sell to middle class blacks at above market value. white flight then eroded the tax base, leaving cities financially fucked, people with money stopped caring about the city beyond their workplace downtown or their parking space next to their building

atlanta and houston should be nuked

That's a lot of parking space.

>united statesian
are you LatinX

looks a bit like its from the 70's. like to see the city now.
finland doesnt even have any cities. just somali playgrounds.

nah but I welcome white genocide

>tfw no dark skinned chiapaneca ancom gf to eat tacos and drink horchata with

i get paid vacation. who comes up with these facts?

he’s saying that we don’t have mandated paid vacation by the government. Many countries guarantee 5 weeks paid vacation as the bare minimum

sounds like some commie shit to me

>in the US a huge factor in the decline of cities was racism
the crime and drug epidemics of the 80s were the main thing. Even in cities that weren't hit as hard by the crime, getting away from blacks was seen as getting away from crime, statistically.

i'd wager most of the labor commutes from the mainland.

Have either of you ever tried to navigate an actual city, as in with population in the +10M range? During rush hour? Now how about an old city of that size built before the advent of automobiles or urban planning
