Korea- Too boring

[Camerus]

Sure, there's an Irish pub only 10 minutes walk from my apartment.  Is it too expensive where you are, or is your town just rather small?

[Josquius]

Big city in theory, 200,000 people, stupidly designed around driving though and...I don't know. It just has a much smaller town centre than it should. Very little in the way of bars , going at all mid-week usually involves drinking alone let alone going during the day. Don't think they'd even be open midday on weekdays.

Stupidly? That's the best design!

Josq likes watching his neighbors have spats on the sidewalk, then listening to them have makeup sex afterward.

Are you sure you're French?

Kewbackers are the Kentuckians of the French.

I'm pretty sure I am not. Grey Fox != Zoupa

surely you must be joking?
having to drive everywhere like a farmer  only with city traffic? its so inconvenient. makes life extra stressful and ruins night lif (day life too, stops cafe culture almost as much as pub culture).
ignoring the city centre and hving businesses scattered willy nilly....its just messy and annoying

[Grey Fox]

I am not.

You are arguing that it stop things that I despise.

Except maybe pubs. Pubs are fun.

I might be a crazy economic socialist but I'll be damn if I am going to be anti-miliraty greenweenie.

[Josquius]

Wait...you hate pubs?

Today I realised a key bad thing about driving focussed cities. Except for  you know, having to drive everywhere like a bloody peasant.
Its like living in one giant car park.
Car parks are not pleasant places. They're the nasty, ugly blight on the landscape which is necessary to be crossed to get into the big shops. Not at all desirable things.

Driving = respectable

[Syt]

Dunno about UK, but in Germany, if you have to drive everywhere you're most likely from a very rural area. Even small cities will have most everyday stuff within walking distance for most people. Add public transport grids for larger cities.

[Josquius]

Driving in cities is mainly for those too poor to live a decent distance from anything.
Though of course you do get some people of every wealth level who like living in the countryside despite the inconvenience (or because of it for some of those weirdos).

I just can't see any redeeming qualities in this model of city design at all. Its just thoroughly unpleasant.
