If I’m gonna pay 9 dollars a gallon for gas, at least make the architecture look cool again

Reminder that this is what Amtrak’s new long distance trains will look like

The Penn Station rebuild actually looks incredible.

We will never have great American cities until we liberate builders from front and side setback requirements

flâneur
/fläˈnər/
A flâneur (pronounced flah-NUR) is a French noun that refers to an idle stroller, lounger, or urban explorer. It describes someone who wanders city streets aimlessly but observantly, soaking in the sights, sounds, and societal rhythms of modern urban life

Opening in 1835, the St. Charles Line is the oldest, continuously operating Streetcar line in the world.

In 1926 New Orleans’ streetcar network reached its peak at 26 lines!

(Map below from 1945 couldn’t find 1929)

Could you imagine having that today?

Just imagine the aesthetics of a US house of representatives with 11,000 representatives.

Atlanta is developing ‘Centennial Yards’ in their downtown area - google it!

New Orleans Pelicans and state leaders need to think bigger than just a Smoothie King Center renovation.

The entire campus and area around the arena and Superdome needs to be enhanced.

How much better would our cities be if we built more like this?

🇨🇳This is Nanjing, a new first-tier city in China, with 9.5 million residents.

It's only 24th in terms of most populated Chinese cities, but more so than NYC.

Proof that socialism works.

The design of this Art Deco floor at L.A.’s Union Station is just too good

[Western Exile @westernexile]

There is no good reason why our cities couldn't look like this either.

The Stacks in DC’s Navy Yard

This is actually really cool! Sure the upper floors aren’t much to look at but eye-level feels like a European City.

The American mind cannot comprehend this

Unironically, this is what parking minimums have done to US cities. Every car requires ~300SF to store and sits empty for most of the time. So instead of housing, parks, businesses, narrow, interstitial spaces and places to walk and bike, we get miles of asphalt and empty cars.
