That happens in every American city, it's called an American downtown
Why is everything else squares?
That's a good old fashioned American Grid System
God I always think I'm such an adaptable person who could learn to survive anywhere UNTIL I see large cities from around the world and remember that no, I cannot learn to survive in a sea of concrete.
There is a lot of greenery in San Francisco, it’s just out of view

I'm going in for Urban Planning rn, what's the difference between it and Urban Designing???
Urban planning is focused more on policy while design is focused on design. Planning has a larger scale of the whole city, while design focuses on how to improve smaller parts through design. Urban design would look at how do we improve this intersection or create more green space in this neighborhood, meanwhile planning looks at things like how do we alter the zoning codes to improve density and how do we encourage the construction of grocery stores in food deserts. Urban design as a field grew out of architecture and landscape architecture and while it can be entered from Urban planning or Sociology or geography or any of those similar disciplines, it has a more similar language and skill associations with those fields than with geography or sociology.

I would love to go back to Rome but alas, the chinchilla
The Chinchilla that is on the runway to the Rome Airport preventing any planes from landing
And I can't take the train because of the non descript marsupial
Rome really needs to sort out the issues with the chinchilla and the non descript marsupial
Wait what is the chinchilla doing with that poison
