@pony Sorry, off-topic comment: that scene looks so odd. Only after few seconds it struck me how few people there are.
Scenes of void modern urban architecture...
@pony
I don't think it is only about building residential areas. Nobody wants to move to a gray concrete blocks neighborhood. What is actually missing in that photo of yours are **trees** and **grass** and rest areas. That's what attracts people to spend time in a neighborhood. And it's not too expensive either.
@piggo @pony I see. What I meant more was something like this (just a random google image search for "livable street"). Nothing fancy, just stuff making people naturally slow down and stay a bit. Instead of leaving. Even a nice park behind a corner exactly does not make it.
But none of these are fixed and can be fixed later after the thing is built. So let's hope for good.
i mean, i also think the development kinda sucks, but there are much worse things
