desu we should return to modernist city planning and architecture.
postmodernism is like a bad dream that never ends, and the reactionary calls for pastiches is just another form of pomo.

>OP wants paki and chink infested shitholes like toronto and vancouver to expand outwards
Evan Lee
unironically tho.
suburbs are breeding grounds for degeneracy and mindless consumerism

this but unironically
t. grew up in the latter, presently in the former
Jacob Howard
They don't even have to be those god awful North American cookie cutter subdivisions.
I grew up in pic related and it had hourly commuter trains into the center of Chicago, restaurants within walking distance from my house, etc.
Still was pretty car centered, tho.
Robert Jones
Bingo. I live in a studio apartment on the north side of Chicago. I can get whatever I want within minutes because I'm a short walk from grocery stores, a liquor store, restaurants, etc.
Noah Hall
Agreed.
Luis Baker
perfect cities never build higher than churches
Easton Cox
go back to /n/ you fucking urbanism/architecture faculty rejects
It's not the direction of your expansion, is HOW you do it and the VERSATILITY of your DESIGN what determines a GOOD or BAD social expansion
suburbs are subhuman tho
Adam Rodriguez
I live in a suburb and I can do the same, yet I have a backyard and 4 rooms to spare
Dylan Taylor
First post, best post.
And trips no less.
James King
noice. not far from Naperville downtown where I grew up
Luke Cruz
When I was in the burbs I had to drive everywhere, and it sucked.
Justin Jackson
finally a non plebian post from based INCA

What you doing in Canada then? Moved up there? Dual citizen?
Brayden Ward
>Moved up there? Dual citizen?
bingo. moved up there for comfy and cheap tuition. now i'm kind of stuck here
William Rogers
You want to live with chinks and pakis in a commieblock?
Ethan Sullivan
I thought about going to college abroad but my parents talked me out of it.
Jackson Watson
commieblocks are comfy tho.
>dfw memories of faint cigeratte smell with screaming slav neighbors and pakis cooking curry
Caleb Wood
t bh not worth it if you don't have citizenship in that country.
Looking back I would have been better off going to University of Illinois Urbana Champagne
>easy acceptance rate
>respected institution
>good campus life
Elijah Parker
I kinda wish I considered UIUC but I don't think I'd have been happy there. Massive state schools just aren't good places for me.
Instead I picked Colorado State because fuck the midwest which turned out to be a disaster and I flunked out of there, spent a few semesters at CoD and now I'm at Loyola.
Hopefully I'll graduate in 2019 and can GTFO of the Chicago area.
Benjamin Walker
Also the acceptance rate isn't so easy for Engineering, that program is pretty selective.
Christian Russell
Suburbs and skyscrapers are both cancer
Postmodernism is unironically preferable to modernism, you're fooling yourself if you think otherwise. Modernist architecture = ugliest buildings ever made
Michael Martin
>for Engineering
yeah no kidding..
Loyola. not a bad school but fuck everything about having to commute to chicago DT.

Ethan Green
I have a place in Rogers Park and all my classes are up here too, so communing isn't an issue. It's honestly a pretty comfy place.
Oliver James
Or we could just turn cities into museums and force everyone to live in towns and villages.
Hudson Kelly
A buddy of mine beat up a cop and went to canada where he also had citizenship and he's just living a normal uni life. He would be in jail 10 years had he stayed here.
Kayden Gray
Bullshit. Tuition in Europe is way way less than in the US. If you don't fly translatlantic too much it's easily worth it
Leo Morris
>suburbs
>not close enough to the city to enjoy near immediate access to services and entertainment
>not far enough away to own sizeable land or have actual privacy
>have to live in overpriced shitty homes built 5 years ago and surrounded by liberal soccer moms
the worst of both worlds
Tyler Gonzalez
You'd have to own a car too.
Daniel Taylor
>liberal soccer moms
I was surrounded by dumb evangelicals in my suburb.
Jayden Sanchez
No bars in walking distance
Noah Adams
>modernist neighborhoods
>all the buildings are in the same style, there is more than enough place for children to play, there is a parking spot, a patch of grass to walk dogs on, several little shops including a butcher shop and a barber, and the whole neighbourhood is pleasant and well organised.
And we're talking about 70s Yugoblocks, not some high-class area.
>postmodern architecture
>disgusting massive steel & glass tower that's expensive to maintain and hurts the eyes because it's built without any consideration for the surrounding area
>reflects the sunlight on the nearby street making it unbearably hot in Summer
Jaxson Phillips
Why can't we bring back literally any architecture movement pre-20th century?
Hudson Reed
Because modernism was the best thing that happened to architecture.
