Europe is too old
The Middle East is too dry
Africa is too poor
America is too ugly
The old stuff in Japan is actually very nice but you can tell America rebuilt Japan because the new stuff is very ugly
The old temples in India are very nice but the new stuff is very ugly… they must have learned how to be depressed from their British teachers. Also very poor.
China has too many people… although that makes their cities look freaking cool. Public spaces look okay, but private residences of the lower classes could use improvement. Just seems like apartment block dystopia. Not quite as ugly as Soviet commie blocks in Europe but… speaking of which:
Eastern Europe: too many commie blocks. Every single building in Ukraine looks like a commie block.

Like I swear, I was looking at Japan on google street view just a minute ago, the contrast in Japan is insane. If you look at an old temple it’s so beautiful with the trees and the wooden buildings and all the detail. Then when you go like a couple blocks over it’s these random boxy looking houses all jammed in next to each other with wires all over the place. It looks like if you took a third world slum and polished it up and made a luxury third world slum.

Don’t get me wrong, it is very clean, I just don’t like looking at it.

Also America is much newer than Europe, but it looks older somehow. American cities look unbelievably dated. Toronto looks a lot more modern than New York somehow. It’s like there are these old fashioned dated 1940s looking skyscrapers everywhere in America. At least Europe has the old beautiful traditional French whatever 5 story buildings. (Although the French do not know how to build skyscrapers.) Neither do the English. The Chinese don’t know how to build normal buildings but they know how to build skyscrapers, so they have the opposite problem.

Russia kinda knows how to build skyscrapers but their country is so huge and has so few people they have no need to build skyscrapers other than ego so Moscow looks ridiculous.

Ireland has some beautiful old buildings, some old churches, some old castles. The only problem is they’re all in ruins. But that kinda makes it more beautiful somehow. Although the cities look so unbelievably average you could mistake literally any street in an Irish city for a random midwestern American town nobody’s ever heard of. It’s neither good nor bad it’s just kinda "meh."

Then Dubai… everybody knows what Dubai is. What’s understood doesn’t need to be explained.

Germany is 1/3rd communist 1/3rd modern and 1/3rd traditional and there are bullet holes in everything traditional.

It’s amazing how the allies managed to shoot every single building in Germany. It’s like they thought they could kill bricks with guns or something.

London would be cool but their skyscrapers look like giant sex toys and their not in the EU so their passport is worthless.

The more I’m thinking about it. I don’t think humans are biologically capable of building aesthetically pleasing buildings. Everything looks better when it’s hidden by plants and trees.

Tbh if Japan just got rid of those stupid power lines it would look 10x better.

They probably got that from America.
·Anonymous A (OP) — 9 months ago, 1 minute later, 25 minutes after the original post[T] [B] #667,389
I just googled it, Japan has been trying to bury their power lines since the 1980s. So much for Asian efficiency… that’s like what? 45 years now?

The neighborhoods in San Paulo kinda look like Japanese neighborhoods… only poorer. Power lines, single family homes, no yards, same deal. It’s just Japan but worse.

Way more trees though, I’ll give them that. That’s nice.

some American cities are good though. Like DC is great, minus the politicians and mentally ill homeless people that nobody helps because we have a horrible healthcare system.

Not a fan of short shifters personally. But I'm glad the tuning community still has cars they can work on.
The new Supra was a bit of a dud though. I think they over-estimated the number of Gen X willing to actually get their wallet out to relive the fast and furious days ($60,000 is enough to get someone into a nice truck or SUV, even if slightly used). The BRZ/86 is the one if you want to leave money in the budget for mods.
