congratulations for looking like somalia, I guess

You have more space though

I just find it a bit boring. A bit like Brutalist architecture, efficient but lacking in soul.

why does sven know what somalia looks like

...

That looks incredibly boring.

Maybe Sven isn't a cancerous teenager and know how to use a search engine. Just a thought.

Yeah and for me it feels cramped even in our cities that barely reach "town" tier in america. I imagine if you're dropped in the middle of new york city you wouldn't even be able to leave by foot because it just goes on and on and on. We also don't have real skylines, just like 1 or 2 tall buildings per "city".

alri apex

americans WILL defend this

Any non-traditional "roundabouts" are stupid and go agains the whole basic idea of roundabouts.

You don't have poor areas full of tower blocks in Sweden? Funny thing in France is that most of our cities' skyline is from tower blocks housing poor people.

Oh there are a lot of commie block quarantines, but they don't build them skyscraper tall which is what I think of when I think skylines. I live in Malmö and the tallest building is 190 meters which is the tallest in sweden, and it's located in an area where all other buildings are short, which makes it good as a landmark.

We have a lot of commieblocks between 15 and 30 stories high. I'm not sure at which height they would be considered skyscraper tier though.

you sound like you want our cities to be full of glass dildos. you'll probably be happy in a few years, because there is a lot of glass dildos being planned atm.

we have a lot of planned neighbourhoods in sweden. there are some social problems in some of them, but I wouldn't call them "poor areas". they're low-income areas, but we don't have the same sort of poverty as in other countries.

also, even though we have a lot of planned neighbourhoods, actual gommie towers are pretty rare. houses with 3 to 4 floors are far more common.

pic related is a very typical 50's era planned neighbourhood in sweden. note that it's much greener irl, because they also planted lots of greenery that hadn't grown yet when the pic was taken.

According to wikipedia a skyscraper should have 40-50 floors. Which would make it pretty tall, but i don't know if there actually is an "official" definition.
I don't want us to have that, I was just saying that our lack of such buildings make cities like new york look weird and exotic to me.

>this confuses and angers the American
>"Wait, you can't drive in there? What am I supposed to do, walk?"
>"Wait, what is this street, help, I'm lost"

Oh yeah when I say poor I mean low income. Even in France I wouldn't call the people living in these areas poor when the unemployed get 500+ euros a month, free healthcare and rent as well as other benefits like free access to public transport. But France does seem to have a thing for tower blocks even though they seem to hate having city centre skylines, I live in a city of 250 000 people yet it has a huge amount of tower blocks, pic related is just one of the many areas here full of them.

...

Oh then most of our buildings that look like skyscrapers probably don't even count then.

Yeah the burgers have towers 2-3 times as tall as ours which I think is pretty cool. But at least we win in the historical department, before they plow it all down to build more commieblocks and modern shit.

They do look cool at night. During the day I find them a bit boring though, although they do generally look better than Asian skylines.

I'm generally pretty fond of modernist architecture and city planning, but the area in your pic looks pretty depressing.

pic related is where I live. it's considered large-scale by swedish standards.

originally, it was mostly for middle class, although there were some low-income flats as well. today, most families here are low-income (including my family). we don't have any social problems, though. crime is almost non-existant. there was some rumour that someone got mugged a few years back, but that's it.

I really like it here. the elevated causeways next to the parking lots are really comfy to take strolls along, and there's a lot of nice greenery here.

a lot of trees have been planted on the mountain behind the blocks, so it's basically a big lush park where you can walk your dog, go barbequeing, etc.

lol

Comfy roads are the best roads.

Do Americans recruit their city planners from Cities Skylines forums?

>play cities skylines
>"im going to build Stockholm 2.0"
>end up autistically drawing grids
i hate that game

Are german big cities so much different than american ones tho?

Imagine that but with water instead of roads. That would be pretty cool.

You mean Florida?

this confuses and enrages americans

That must be hell though during mosquito season.

The fucking satellite dishes ruin it.

>not banning satellite dishes in the historic center and making sure people have access to decent cable instead

every day is mosquito season because the temperature never drops below 15 year round

Isn't that what you're striving for, too?

>not having your cities planned for military intervention

Tbh this looks pretty depressing. Like wherever you'd go it's just more of the same for kilometers.

Lol, Soviets planned cities this way. All eastern euro cities have large, wide highways so the Soviet army could get to the front fast while USSR cities don't have them in case the enemy got that close.

They installed one in my small town and accidents doubled the next year

can't let you get away with this one

...

you are a little baby. this is 7 miles apart in florida. They are backyard neighbors

walk then

Wow enlarged motherboards so impressive.

I can attest that the canal my relatives live on does not have mosquitoes as an issue

also you can capture crabs right from the backyard, which is really cool

How retarded do you have to be to not understand how roundabouts work?

*blocks your path to McDonald*

Imagine how much of a clusterfuck it would become if even one crosswalk gets blocked.

All the people who wanted to take the 3rd exit went against traffic to save time.
Dog bless

>this triggers the american

It's probably the first time anyone there has seen one. My mom works for the city and she said there were daily complaints by all the old farmers who don't like change

not big city dwellers Tbh

Yours isn't even a fort.

>public transport is free in Estonia
>So is college and healthcare

THIS truelly triggers the american

the bus is very popular where I live because everyone has too many drink driving convictions

IT's not free it's paid from your taxes.
Should've said "publicly funded". It equally triggers the american while not being a lie.

Nigga do you even star fort?

>this enrages the brit

The one I posted is actually the biggest star fort in the world. Built by a Dutch, of course.

We just don't have water, so we just dig a deeper hole.

Pretty good against Sp*niard and Fr*nch invasions.

I suppose water is detrimental for a good defense so I understand the need for compensation. We did a decent job repelling the Fr*nch and Sp*niards by just flooding a shitton of land. All hail the sea jews!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollandic_Water_Line

I'd go as far as to say that having water makes it even harder to attack. We'd use water if we could, but the best place to attack Portugal through is dry as fuck so its just not an option.

Employer pays social taxes not employee here

Absolutely no difference whatsoever, employer pays to the government what he could
>keep for himself
>share between the two of you
>give entirety to you

>new york metropolitan population is 2x the amount of people in Sweden

>This image holds more people than some European countries

wtf i hate taxes now, why did nobody tell me how they truly work??

Well, enjoy your Judge Dredd fantasies coming true then.

cars were a mistake

they're planning a section of my city without cars, very hyped.

I use it everyday and I am the only white person who does.

>crime
>toyko
that only happens in countries with barbaric whites and blacks

>free

everybody knows how taxes work you fucking autist

apparently not

Instead of paying a few dollars when you get on, you pay a few cents in taxes you mong.

You shouldn't be talking

>things you exchange money for
>free

This

>Instead of paying a few dollars when you get on, you pay a few cents in taxes you mong.
do you unironically think this is true?

Yes, because the taxes are collected from everyone including rich people who never use public transport.

Why should people be forced to pay for something they don't use?

because it makes society a better place you spastic

>give me your money because it will make my life better
