Reminds me of dystopia

Wow, I thought living in NYC was crowded.
Also, you’re slacking diabeetus, no “first” on your own posts?

I dunno. I think it’d be nice to live in a place like this. There’s kind of a symmetrical beauty to it all and also you probably wouldn’t have to get to know your landlord very well. I hate smalltalking with landlords.

At least they don’t shoot people in the dick.

Most of these pictures are from Michael Wolf’s “Architecture of Density” collection. www.photomichaelwolf.com/hongkongarchitecture/

I was going to say that some of these reminded me of Hong Kong.
I don’t think I could handle living in that situation… if anything, because I don’t see how they could possibly control any pest infestations. I live in a house turned into an apartment building and even with monthly treatments, the issues are never ending because some of my neighbors are fucking pigs.

At least they have housing…

Ah I love China oh yes. How can you not fall in love with such extremes. Oh yea talk about feeling mediocre.
In a society like that, you will only get noticed if you’re really successful or pretty damn amazing. That’s the main reason I would wanna live there
for a while.
Just to see how much it would provoke me to live
up to my full potential.

They remind me of termite mounds, the kind we get up north: travelblog.viator.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/termite-mounds-in-nt.jpg
something that’s not original, comparing the way big cities are like insect hives, just the way they’re not surrounded by smaller buildings really reminded me.
Plus, pastels, I like that. Apartments are alright if you have a balcony. I don’t like being glassed in.

This *is* SimCity. The Chinese Government knows how to play real life SimCity very well…
