Real

Every attempt to fix this is met with boomers screaming about ruining the unique character of the neighborhood.

For anyone who lives in cities with half responsible urban planning, let me tell you: It's worse than you can imagine. It's genuinely unwalkable (I've tried, don't have a car) especially in the summer when you have zero protection from the sun. Also, this is technically the "downtown" with all the commercial/industrial areas. It's hard enough to walk through here, the distance between your 1M+ house deep in the suburbs to here is ten times greater, maybe it'll have sidewalks, or a bike path if you're really lucky.

Give me a godamn concrete jungle, we'll discuss aesthetics and blocking out light and the view out the window and all that later, at the very least you can physically access places you need to go.

Without looking, I'm pretty sure that's Houston, TX near the arena (whose name now escapes me after almost a decade away). I moved to a place with great public transit and could never go back to driving all the time.

Sad how car citric our cities have become. But even worse was in Yellowstone and you can't get anywhere without a car and traffic backs up and you stuck while everyone sitting in their running cars spraying the shitty fumes in the air.

Where is my YUROP, with memes that were a bit to precise for me sometimes to understand

this is a certified r/urbanhell moment

Land Value Tax would fix this

Yeah no, European tech wages are garbage. I also love cars, we have big open roads here.

I am a bit jealous of the autobahn though.

It’s odd to see people hate cars. How you can have no interest in driving or your car is weird.
