And? What's your point little brother?
It's like some moron talking back to someone when they say zoning is bad >UGH THOSE LAWS WERE PASSED IN 1925 GOSH
Yeah dumbass, and they're still on the books, are you okay?
If you look at old aerial photos of Houston before freeways there were a lot of 1 story buildings and surface lots in that area prior to Interstates being built. Houston is flat, land was cheap, there was no reason to build densely outside of the downtown core
Europeans be like "oh no how can americans live without walkable cities and 500 year old buildings with no air conditioning do americans really" as they walk to the mosque and get raped by muhammed while playing soccer and drinking wine and making a modest american salary at best
Urbanists always ask "where's the housing" instead of asking why everyone wanted to move out of the cities in the 60s and 70s.
History is indeed doomed to repeat itself.
Europeans always make a big deal out of the Autobahn and its lack of speed limits, but when I actually hear them talk about experiences on the Autobahn they all say things like, "People just go 100kph, it's absolutely insane!" That sounds like a lot, but then you look it up and realize that's 62mph, and most interstate highways in the US have speed limits of 60-70mph and people actually drive 70-90mph on them. The Autobahn is literally just a place where Europeans drive somewhat slowly and lose their shit about it because they spend so much time going 25mph around their overly dense cities with overly narrow roads.
I'm just relaying how I've heard people who live in Europe talk about the Autobahn.
Normal ass tradesmen in germany take their company vehicles on the nordschliefe and go 200km/h during lunch break.
Meanwhile the indian guys flooding into your american city do 20 under on the highway.
If I go under 90-100mph on the highway in my state people tailgate me and flash their lights. The speed limit is 70mph.

>AAAAHHHH NOOOO I can't walk to the stadium from the hotels on the opposite side of the highway! >The same stadium that has five other hotels with legal and safe pedestrian access and also rail access on its side of the highway! >This is so dystopic!
Why are urbanists SO fricking disingenuous with how they present criticisms of car centric infrastructure? You'd think there'd be enough out there to criticize that they wouldn't need to rely on sensationalism and misinformation, yet here we are, same deal almost every thread.
>urbanists often rely on images taken out of context and other disingenuous forms of discourse instead of using the valid arguments they already have >"OH YEAH? WELL HERE'S THE VALID POINT I COULD'VE POSTED EARLIER BUT DIDN'T BECAUSE I WANTED TO MAKE A DISINGENUOUS SHITPOST INSTEAD"
way to prove his point, moron

It’s old and those parking lots arent there anymore you dumb inbred shitskin homosexual
Time to take your meds
>more parking lots than habitable structures
is this really how americans plan their cities?
No, it's an old picture, now they have multistorey car parks
>now they have multistorey car parks
what, so it took them half a century to catch on to the rest of the west?

>plan
americans don't plan anything, it's all product of the invisible hand of the market for them
Imagine how many urbanoids you could pile up in that amount of space
Europeans be like "oh no how can americans live without walkable cities and 500 year old buildings with no air conditioning do americans really" as they walk to the mosque and get raped by muhammed while playing soccer and drinking wine and making a modest american salary at best
DUDE you're so right think of how many brown people in slummy skyscrapers we could fit in those parking lots!
Then we could force Americans to abandon their cars and take public transportation too!

Movies about committing criminal acts?
>No walking!!!
This reminds me of the time I walked on the Autobahn.
Why do Americans buy hotels in the middle of motorways without ways to go outside by foot?
There's nothing near it except the stadium, some industrial areas, and swamps
Because we have the technology. Now hurry up and sue us about it since that's all the EU can do anymore.

100kph is below the limit in all of europe outside germany. Why do you lie?

Never post again moron
>bringing up valid criticism only after you've been called out
What does this have to do with my post?

way to prove his point, moron
Anyone else notice the amount of vacant shopping centers and empty parking lots when driving around? Not in the city but usually on the outskirts
Yeah the internet destroyed them
>tfw they keep building strip mall near me with no businesses togo in them
I genuinely don't know the endgame here
Boomers who've owned land are cashing in to stupid pajeets and asians propping these places up.
When are we getting a Dean Corll series/film/whatever the frick bottom of the barrel true crime shit from Ryan Murphy?
Americans and their grids
