Where city
Everytime i see my hometown mentioned it’s never for anything good lol. Fuck you Spokane, glad I left ya.
Roads should also be colored to dig it deeper
Just…
😐
It’s so depressing I can’t describe it in words
This looked so absurd that I had to look at the satellite view to believe it but it’s true. This planet has skin cancer and it’s us.
If the parking lots were eliminated, buildings would be so close to each other that you could walk and you wouldn’t even need parking lots.
Lemme tell you a story.
A few years back I was on a trip to the US, I was visiting a small town, not much going on there but they had an airport.
When I checked out from the hotel the receptionist asked me if I wanted her to call me a cab, I said no because the airport was 1.5km away from the hotel and I’ll just walk there. Poor woman was looking at me as if I was stabbing a baby right in front of her, a look so bevildered and confused that I actually felt sorry for her.
Then the hotel driver appeared from the office and took me to the airport… Such a weird country
Anyway, moral of the story is, good luck convincing those people to walk.
In many parts, walking is suicide simply because there are no safe ways to cross many roads and in some places it is entirely impossible. But even where walking is possible people are not even considering it as an option. I had a similar experience in a mid sized town, where we walked maybe 30 min into the centre from an inner suburb. The walk was nice, except for a scary part where we had to cross a highway with its looped exit lanes. People at our destinations looked in the exact same way, as if we were pure lunatics. This whole thing could only be explained by us being Europeans and Europeans do this kind of crazy stuff.

Yeah, try that with Tokio, Seoul or London…
…what? ALL OF THAT IS PARKING LOTS???
Build a wall, across the Atlantic. Protect Europe from the American menace. They would definitely turn the entirety of Europe into one big parking lot.
The Greek hanging gardens? Parking lot. Colosseum? Colossal parking lot. Venice? Underwater parking lot. The Netherlands? Parking lot with tulips.
And so on, and so forth. What else do you think Americans would turn into a parking lot of they every carpet bombed Europe?
I can see there’s a lot of potential for parking space development on that island in the middle there.
All suburbs in PNW are like this. “Asphalt ocean”
This is city center. The park is nice. It was the 1974 world’s fair grounds, it’s a bunch of bridges over waterfalls and there’s been a decent amount of investment / upkeep the last few years.
The business owners in the 70s all opposed it’s construction because they didn’t think it would be good for downtown. Since then they’ve really doubled down on surface lots to charge people going to the park / mall / downtown businesses.
What this place needs is clearly more parking lots.
Bro fucking detroit looks better than this
That’s a lot of worthless space!
What’s wrong with them? Not that my hometown is any better.
Thought this was that stock market chart for a second
