Okay so at the start of this month, I posted this image of San Francisco with the caption
“There be devils at work here”
From there the post became a debating point on whether American Urban Design is good or not on the basis of grids and downtowns being bad, the post has over 25,000 notes at the time of posting. I want to address a few things that are bothering me about the notes of that post
First of all are the people complaining about the lack of greenspace which is fair but this is not the whole city, the area shown in the picture is highlighted below over a larger map of San Francisco
As you can see there is a large amount of green space within and around the city, particularly Golden Gate Park which is larger than Central Park by almost 200 acres
Additionally while San Francisco does have issues with urban sprawl, it is also among the densest places in the US as the 24 densest city in the US and 2nd densest city with a population over 100k
And finally that is not a fucking photo of New York
I wonder if shrimp dream of public transportation or if that is a purely human thing
Oh yeah, the whole internet thing doesn’t affect Amtrak because it runs off Linux, I forgot about that fact
Political Assassinations are passe, I want to see people assassinating the HOA president instead, assuming violence is necessary
They just don’t have elaborate murders on the train anymore, it’s fucking tragic
“You couldn’t waterboard this out of me”
Skill issue, you could get it out of me, WITHOUT waterboarding, I’m a talkative bitch who can’t keep a secret for the life of him
You wouldn’t critically analyze the media you consume and think deeply about it’s themes and what it is trying to tell you
Cars may be evil but Tracy Chapman’s 1988 masterpiece, “Fast Car” is a very good song
I made a thing
