it will destroy their automotive industry

it can not operate other than we Japanese.

how is any of that unique to japan

I'm pretty sure this is operated beyond Japan.

>american education

Tell me if it's different but Australian style looks mostly the same as American, where houses are not covered/ hidden at all from the public roads.

In the Netherlands you can't ride faster than 15 km/h in all living streets.

A lot of city centers are car free.

And everything is designed for people on foot and on bike.

But your houses are not covered by walls from the public roads.

depends on the neighbourhood. A lot of people like showing off their houses.

>weeb delusion #3525838

Have you seen Osaka?

there are loads of countries where people have walls around their houses

but I guess regulations don't allow it in some countries? it's not visually appealing I guess

Literally every household in Sweden

It depends on the price class.

And where you live of course.

In the cities in the west there is a shortage on housing, so row houses are used. We have one of the least appartment buildings in Europe, just like England, so as an alternative we put people in row houses. One price class above it are row houses with a garden on one side. From this price class and on you do have privacy. Then corner houses. Then semi-detached. Then entirely detached.

fuck walls desu
in norway walls are even illegal
but some walls are good
fuck no-all-walls then

Some of our ghettos are like this, you can only see walls from the outside, no roads where you can use a car, just parking lots from where you walk home

Best design.

>In the cities in the west there is a shortage on housing, so row houses are used
Japanese don't build their houses the way they do because they have a ton of space, desu.

>falling for the motorized Jew

*not

Another reminder to keep driving big ass Freedomcars until the sea swallows your disgusting commiehole

Not that Germany doesn't have its share of ecofascism though

>ugly walls
>streets too narrow to facilitate bikes
>parking on the sidewalk
nah

>than 15 km/h in all living streets.
Is that because everyone is high as fuck?
Our city centers are 40kmph. School zones are 30kmph.

>Ecofascism
Sounds actually like a neat ideology.

>slow drive zones

Residential is 30mph with a fair bit of city at 20mph and it's fucking shit

safer and less noise pollution. Only downside is carfags get fucked but they deserve it.

The building has insufficient earthquake resistance.

>ugly
there is room for variation.

>implying we do it for environmental reasons
That's only a small part of it.

>syrian refugees can hop right into the veranda
No thank you.

>>efficient use of space
Top fucking kek.
Japan fucking sucks at urban planning. Go there sometime.

the average speed is little due to jams/junctions anyway, no point to speed up to 100kmh for 10 seconds like everyone does here

shits' retarded

Apartment houses in urban areas should be like this.

A lot of urban areas that would be 40km/h in Finland are 60 km/h here. Mongoland feels like a kindergarten in comparison tbf

Well, you've had a lot of practice.

Read Pentti Linkola's manifestos if you want ecological rationale for vernichting 90% of the population, military government and living in romantic harmony with the nature.

t. new world shitter that cant understand any shape other than a square

On the right is the only apartment building in my neighborhood.

>tfw everything here is green and with water with brick walls, making it infinitely more comfy

>interiors are shamelessly exposed to the outside world

Row houses tend to have one street side and one garden side.

An old photo, but it gives an idea what I mean.

people call that rabbit hutch. Japs are literally savages

Petty Linkola would be based if it werent for his ludditism. Genetic engineering and research made a lot of livingstandarts that could only been reached before with fossile fules affordable with less wasteful alternatives.
This can and should be widened.

the netherlands look really comfy
how many third worlders are in these parts

This one looks more comfy

put those wires underground. looks like a 3rd world country...

Depends. The cheaper the houses the more foreigners.

It's the suburbs of Utrecht, the fourth city of the country. So relatively many.

i think they are doing it actually

Well, this design takes root in a time were there were no niggers.

How many people can be imprisoned at this facility?

6 million

dropped
why must you europeans do this

Why are netherlands so comfy and sophisticated looking. Burger infrastructure is so depressing and dumbed down.

>tfw america is step above brazil and we are 3rd world-1st world country

I'm alright with it as long as it's used to improve human lives and not to justify austerity measures and ridiculous bean-counterism.

Picrelated is from my German ADSL modem. The whole device consumes at max. 16,8 Watts, ever, yet the manufacturer thought it would be useful to have energy counters for various components in there.

That's when "green" becomes just an advertising meme, as it is for most of the things that we do.

They are a small country without direct military threats nor greater responsibility, have a quiet homogenous hightrust society and this makes the place heaven on earth besides denmark.

Houses without backyard? This is not healthy.

Dated policies.

But the Netherlands is very decentralized. All foreigners want to live in the cities in the west, but, as you might have seen on the map, the entire country is densely populated. Not just the cities in the west. And that's because the entire country is covered with small cities and villages. Our entire country is covered in small communities.

Old culture without commieshit.

18W is a lot, you dumb nigger

The fortress cities are top comfy. That pic was where I live, but this is unrelated.

youtube.com/watch?v=f7xxJo6drps

Japan does it because they have very limited land to live on, America has enough land for endless sprawl.

I used to have money invested in a company out there. Kek.

Well, why would you complain about a feature you are probably not charged much for?
(even if its nitpicking.)
I believe that often authorative measures are needed to convince people and private companies to think in the future or become a part of an effort that can only be collectivly achieved. Not because I worship nature and hate humans, quiete the opposite. But it is ridiculous to let any of the wealth we can use go to waste in a way that cannot be replenished to a great extend.

Forcing an industry into a niche might be harmful in some way as investors get scared off, the ones that are dependent on you however will be forced to use the wonders of capitalist innovativeness to make lucrative what was not lucrative before, thus finally making the shortcut possible that safes a part the next generations wealth.

Best burger I've ever had was in NL. A bit overpriced but still awesome as fuck.

That picture he posted is so comfy looking. Like some well thought out simcity but real.

>highway close to cities, but separated and kept away from city
>gardens, public greenery that is central and well placed
>well structured mixed apartments

Meanwhile in america its:
>Highways going straight through busy areas
>central greenery is out of place and requires you to go out of way to get there
>ancient, unkempt downtowns
>sloppy suburbs either dated or sloppily placed/built that are new
>horrible neighborhoods in between that are rundown

Yeah. That's also why you can have very slow driving streets. Because you don't have to drive very far through them.

Yeah, enough to power a fridge bulb. Probably costs 0.05 eur per year.

You just answered yourself. Having my modem count microwatts on its own doesn't matter that much, but in the hands of authoritarians, the same ideology that put those counters there is going to make life miserable for a lot of people. And just like in any authoritarian regime, the end results don't matter shit, as long as you have some strict criteria by which you can measure people's loyalty and "purity".

Luckily I don't think Germany is likely to go that way any time soon. ATM it's just mildly bemusing, as an outsider, to observe the German obsession over conserving resources.

Oh boy. It's one of these threads where Americans find out that things they idealize are pretty much standard all over the developed world. What's next? We talk about how no one is paid in checks here or tilt windows?

Btw. Japanese cities have a very apparent and disproportionate lack of green spaces.

Its not an obsession, its an absolute necessity which needs a lot of improving.

>things they idealize are pretty much standard all over the developed world.
Show me some places in Germany that have Japanese style houses. Go ahead, you should be able to find tons since they are so standard lmao.

What the kid is groveling about is probably just indicative of where he is. America is far too large to generalize about.

As for Japan, pics like OP's are rare and not the standard. Most photos of Japan remind me of Los Angeles but worse, though I like LA for what it has.

Germany is actually a gommieblock country.

Why do self-hating Americans feel the need to grovel to their Eurosempais in every thread for acceptance and self-esteem? It's gross, stop it.

Countries like Sweden always pretend they have lots of space. But meanwhile.. they all live on top of each other lmao.

wut

more like 47.30 Eur/yr

or, lets say every third german has that modem: 1253333302 Eur/yr for german economy

cause america is a boring country with shit infrastructure

>please, please accept me into your secret club
wew

this, american houses are comfy af

We have many in the "other" category. That's because some people live on boats.

Oh, I was not bootlicking. You are totally misinterpreting my post unless that imperative "stop it" was directed to the other poster.

You're completely wrong. There's a great article on Breitbart about how congestion has been relieved in American cities through federal funding, though Los Angeles has remained shitty despite the amount of money it gets.

It's easy for some Americans to idealize Europe, but all you need to do is go there and live for a month and you'll see it's not this "socialist paradise" or whatever some teenage redditor might imagine. They're actually quite poor by American standards, but at least they are poor with dignity because their social services work... sort of.

Living boats look like pure poverty on the outside.

But from the inside they can be quite comfy

Until.. you get mold and rats. Or a tree falls on top of it and it sinks.

That first video shows someone moving from Amsterdam to Rotterdam.

At least he doesn't have to buy a new house lol.

Looks like something I had in mind to plan a city but as usual, you can't realise it here because they'll hire ones that fanning the boss's bums and mistrust local's talents. I fucking hate this cunt.

How much do you get for shilling?

Shilling?

>tfw car enthusiast
Why does everyone hate us now? I plan on moving out of the city so I don't contribute to congestion. I don't even commute by car as it is, I usually just drive out if the city on the weekends to relax and enjoy rural roads.

I actually am hoping that people who don't care about cars and commute with them anyway (most drivers) have better access to other means of transportation. That way, we get a huge reduction in congestion and emissions, and the car market becomes more recreational like the motorcycle market since it will be more of a nice in the future.

Everyone wins!

Hydrogen cars are coming up in 5+ years or so anyway.

you've obviously never been to japan because their city designs are absolutely horrid and its near impossible to walk anywhere without stepping onto roads

It'll be neat when it happens.

However, I plan on tinkering with old muscle cars and landyachts for recreational driving when I finally get out of uni, and I'm hoping that no one forces me to stop doing such things. It's such a niche and expensive hobby, and it will become more of a niche in the future as old cars rot and younger generations become more detached from the feels associated with them. I don't see the point in legislation against such a small group

Japan is the best, no one else can compete!

We are inferior to the superior nihonjin.

Speak for yourself, you weeaboo shit!

>German obsession over conserving resources
A vague cultural memory of one of the main causes of their historical expansionist tendencies, as well as the conflicts and subsequent defeats they suffered because of it.

t. weeaboo who's never been to Japan let alone had to deal with ass-backwards roads on a daily basis.

Stop bullying us please with these obvious b8s.
It's getting too much these days.

Post awesome Baraquilla/Cali houses then.

Most houses in Japan don't have that sort of walled off privacy, user.
It depends where you go and how old the housing is. Newer areas are very "western" and most couldn't afford to live in the sort of houses in your op.

Depends where you are. There are a lot of suburbs where the houses are set away from the street or have hedges/walls/fences obscuring them from the road, etc. etc. etc. Your pic related looks like a new housing estate, meaning it's basically a grid type setup with a lot of exposure of the frontage which has a lot to do with the building companies having their houses designed for people to see them, for advertising in a way.

Just how insecure are you? Raising things you see as worthy of criticism in your country does not mean you are a "self-hating" denizen of said country.
What a fucking stupid attitude.

Japanese houses are so badly built they only last about 30 to 50 years before being destroyed. I know you guys are fond of cardboard houses in the US, but can the rest of the world be spared?

>cardboard

Oi it's plywood, show some fucking respect.
