It'd be gone and the city would die

>>664309
Yes, I do soy out about the neon districts in San Antonio, how did you know?

>>664313
There's more to the French Quarter than being old

It represents a confluence of cultures in an era where men were desperate to keep everyone separated

That being said, like I do agree generally that sometimes the whole VGHing can get out of control at times, but alot of the VGHing tends to come from ideas and lifestyles about how things should be

>>664326
Do you know any architects?

>>664331
idk I think that some architects, and contemporary glass and steel architects, can be cool dudes

I mean most architects have to run through a mix of the STEM gauntlet and some history shit

>>664325
i only know rotterdam from the levels in hitman contracts

>>664340
Now it sounds like you are yearning for days long past when people had to draft things by hand and fully understand their art

>>664347
I disagree, my preferred hot take is to shit on small businesses

But I do kind of understand where you are coming from, at least in terms of alot of land and such being used inefficiently, I just think there are certain things that cannot really be quantified in terms of value and that put simply the objective isn't always to maximize efficiency

the british public could be easily talked into eliminating the green belt if the papers really tried their best but they would regret it immensely and it would be yapped and cried over for decades afterwards

>>664353
Yeah, but we all work together as a team!!!!1!

This whole discussion reminds me of a movie I watched

about a uh Chinese bathhouse and how like that sort of way of life was coming to a close for them

And it was all like sad and such

>>664377
Alot of the shift to preserve ancient Greek stuff came externally from Romanticists

>>664383
Again, alot of that came from Romanticists who specifically followed the logic that even if this isn't the most efficient, this is worth preserving at a societal level

Or would they be called Romantics, idk I know that tea had to correct me when I kept saying Romanticist

>>664386
The Colosseum was very nearly destroyed until the Pope stepped in and declared it a holy site, it likely would have been completely scrapped for materials

i dont want things that are characteristic of my countrys history and culture destroyed and paved over and replaced with shit indicative of the current new-rich tastes (crypto millionaire from nashville style shit)

>>664395
do not attempt to troll me here

>>664392
Like I don't think you fully understand, the Colosseum likely would not exist had the Pope not stepped in and said "this is being preserved whether you like it or not"

>>664400
I think that's a fair argument tbh

cities becoming reflective of this increasingly globalised class of tasteless gauche people is not my culture evolving

>>664410
One eras gauche cosmopolitan elite is another eras golden age worth preserving

I still am supportive of generally maintaining the character of certain regions and protecting historical buildings, even if it cuts into bottom lines or isn't supported by some sort of plebiscite of people

>>664414
i do not think future generations will look back fondly on the whole nashville new rich era

these beautiful interiors of houses gutted to look "utilitarian" for the husband

>>664418
I can't say what people would look back on nostalgically, but I already see alot of people that want to maintain some of the sort of 90's architecture and design. And I know people that appreciate the steel and glass looks of the contemporary movement

>>664421
though i do get what you mean here, as a kid i used to appreciate all brutalist buildings though now ive changed and i only really like the BFI and such

>>664423
That'd be like picking out the megapastors of the 90's to determine that the era had little to no value

I hate Dubai though, I am hopeful that when there is a limited nuclear exchange in the Middle East, Dubai gets hit lol

crazy how if you ask someone off the street "where would you wanna go on holiday if you could rn" i think 30% of your answers would be Dubai

like what would you do in dubai if you're not some sort of mega rich connected criminal or one of their subjects or contractors or such

>>664432
From what I understand, Dubai isn't even like *the place* to go, I think it is uh.... I forget the name, but it's one of the few emirates out there where you can drink and fuck all you want without regulation. Dubai is run like a medieval fiefdom with more money than it knows what to do with. Forgive the 4chan term but it is SOVLLESS

just wander around... go shopping...

yeah i think a lot of people just want to say they've been to dubai to signify to their friends They Made It

i went to abu dahbi that was enough

romeo it was so spooky

really nice airport and its surrounded by all these high tech buildings .. then you just get on the plane and as it takes off you see that theres only a few skyscrapers and that the rest of the city is all these sand coloured houses and hovels that stretch on for a bit and then disappear into the night desert

>>664442
Yeah I think Abu Dhabi is the one that is more Vegas-y and sort of like the sin city. Whereas Dubai tries to be that but doesn't make the sacrifices (letting people fuck and drink)

strangest place ive been

I have zero intent on going to the UAE, I hate them all lol

And I've been to Russia before

>>664455
I AM RACIST

>>664454
did you go see lenins body

my dad (5'6) said that lenin looked "small" like ok big guy

>>664457
NO And I was so mad about that, it was closed at the time for the World Cup presumably because they didn't want some drunk guy running in and fucking it up

camden

ive been meaning to go there soon

>>664460
Obama's backyard

camden in london

he lived in london for most of his working life

anti do you have a discord

>>664467
I think there is a Sabaton song written about this

wahoo

oh my god can u stop we literally stopped talking about that shit like 5 mins ago like Relax Mf

>>664473
I am a turbolib on zoning laws lol

>>664483
What is it that they wrote, uh the prosperity liberalism or whatev, basically rip apart alot of zoning legislation

>>664482
What's got you feelin that way?

>>664489
I just dislike the emphasis on single family detached homes that this country has.

>>664495
Yeah, that's why I am a turbolib on it, I think it would be nice to have more shared walls and such

anti i added you :-DD

>>664488
thats so epic bro am proud of you

>>664492
Ah, I get that yeah. It can be a little nervewracking to get put into limbo like that and can come off as a bit suspicious. But I think things will be okay.

>>664492
dw about it shes probably just pooped

sometimes ive freaked out friends by like not getting something done right away. its not that im mad at them its just that i like to sink into the couch and do nothing for a bit

>>664502
Yeah, I like townhomes and things like that. Wish they were more common and preferred, but eh... oh wel

>>664525
