How to fix American cities?
Would reinstating de-jure segregation to keep criminals out and demolishing car suburbs for walkable traditional neighborhoods allow for cheaper, better quality-of-life?
Our current model obviously doesn't work.
Fixing American cities

scale back, decentralize, agrarian towns.
this is typically what starts to happen historically at this point in the civil cycle, only this time cities are absolved as the marketplace as it moves online. urban exodus
Chase Rodriguez
American cities where where you went to go shopping. Now that online shopping means you never have to go to a city, they are dying.
Logan Russell
>scale back
There's a difference between scaling back to something like a Japanese suburb and scaling back into comblocks
>decentralize
If you build walkable towns, they'll necessarily be smaller and more fractal in their facilities
Alexander Lewis
Where is that place?
Colton Lewis
I genuinely have no idea. Each city will have to take on their own approach though. Whatever they go with needs to be unified by a grand vision though. Think the Burnham Plan for Chicago and the City Beautiful Movement
A lot of these plans go to shit when you take into account niggers, unfortunately though.
Lucas Hughes
They weren't always that way, and blockbusting, easy credit, and the financial chicanery that turns a house into an asset instead of a consumer good did a lot to destroy American urban life into it's clown civilization of white people paying $200,000 and spending hundreds of hours in a car to they don't have to live around criminals
Elijah Bennett
I don't know unfortunately. It might have come from Wrath of Gnon's a long time ago.
In my ideal world, something like this but with buildings adapted to whatever your local environment is.

The American "main street" is and always has been commercial not residential. e-commerce has removed the need for a centralized commercial district. The ideal American house is and always has been "the frontier house" surrounded by land, even the suburban caricature still maintains this look. The American city is obsolete.
Logan Bailey
>e-commerce has removed the need for a centralized commercial district
E-commerce is very energy intensive, partially reliant on financial loopholes, and a bandaid on the fundamental problem that people of certain ethnic groups have been cleansed out of prime urban real estate and that other tribe makes venturing into the central commercial area dangerous. And reconquista or just making an agreement to not let them live in your neighborhood is illegal, so all that's left is living in undesirable hinterlands in houses expensive enough that certain people can't afford it.
John Bailey
US has tons of room to stretch its legs unlike Japan.
And yes walkable towns. The main thing is the online marketplace in addition to skyrocketing cost, disease, lack of economic mobility and dwindling opportunity. depopulating the cities and relegating them to cultural and hospitality centers will save them

The Mermaid Inn on Mermaid Street in Rye, East Sussex.

e-commerce is decentralized and has no need for what was once "prime real estate" is now worthless but not because "the darkies moved in" but because what once made it valuable (centrally located) is now a liability because people live far away. Again, the concept of "city" as we know it is obsolete.
Nathan Bell
What makes cities valuable is concentrating human capital, since smart people working together magnifies their talent. It's part of why General Electric employees held so many patents and industrial 'firsts' or how MIT could produce groundbreaking computer innovation.
My ideal would be some sort of fractal, walkable towns connected by transit to some sort of central economic district.
Dylan Gutierrez
cities are not only for shopping,cities usually host a lot of other stuff like constraction companies,investing and law firms,logistics centers,manufacturing companies,recording studios,whole salers,import export corps,army bases and etc. pretty much anything that requers a large workforce and its only possible to get that workforce by being in urban areas. as well as cities provide more opportunity to actually make money. lets say you want to start a kratom import company,in a small town there are only so much smoke shops to sell to and they might not even buy it, while in a city you have 100s of smoke shops and even if you have 30% sales rate you will still be able to make decent money. thus its just easier for capital to grow in the city once you got a big enough capital you can make a move to small towns but you can only do that if said small town actually approves your auctions if they not you not gonna acompish shit out there.
Joseph Barnes
There is no fixing American cities.
Progressives are going to get what they ask for.
Corporate campuses have already moved out to suburbs from city centers, and with the increasing reliance on work-from-home tech, productive and peaceful members of society are going to start doing just that. They will come to cities for entertainment, dining, sporting events, etc.
But the great American residential metropolis will be a thing of the past in less than 10 years.

Holy fucking comfy.
Ethan James
Human capital no longer needs to be centralized. When a person can run a successful business with world wide reach from their garage, what is the need for a centralized location in a city none of your customers, investors, suppliers or employees live in?
David Allen
Doesn't have the transit but I think the Savannah GA area should be the model for the future. Walkable city with thriving bougie brick and mortar. Outskirts consist of industrial ports, commercial suburbs and agrarian suburbs in close proximity
Jonathan Diaz
Demographics?
Brody Carter
Remove the niggers & foreigners. Make cities & neighborhoods white again.
Jackson Jones
My experience with telework/telelearning is that it isn't as productive as in-person work or learning; and requires more effort spent managing to be productive. However, this can be offset with how expensive facilities can be.
I tend to think that if we stop this shell game of real-estate speculation and allow unwanted people to be legally kept out, that physical infrastructure becomes cheaper to own and operate.
Juan Gomez
The "walkable communities" being built by Communists are pens for quasi-free range white settlement before we're simply outbred into oblivion. Even if we voluntarily went into them we wouldn't be able to govern us by us and for us. We're not allowed to have agency in the current paradigm being forced on us. The only thing those commie blocks are good for is really big bonfires. And I would delight in watching the livestreams of the financiers fleeing for their lives as they're hunted like demons they are.
Not that I advocate any of this.
These are patterns.
And I am a spectator.
Connor Brooks
lol those are shit but 54% black but that's not what were talking about really
Daniel Butler
Okay, Jew.

>How to fix American cities?
So what is wrong with american cities? Do you even know what you are trying to fix?
Colton Morgan
I just think that Houston or Atlanta's sprawl is near the point of becoming unsustainable on a civilizational level
William Adams
Sprawl, shitty commutes, what should be prime neighborhoods ruined by behavior of certain groups effectively squatting in it
Henry Harris
As the technology improves, the cost will come down to the point that telecommuting will be cheaper than having a physical office. We are nearing that now as the cost of maintaining cities in their current state already is starting to outweigh the benefits. I think that the city of the future (if we can even call it that from out perspective) will be a crossroad, a few parks and some logistical, power and telecommunication buildings providing service to low density housing. Not what we would call a city but the modern city is not what our ancestors would call a city either.
Liam Bennett
>certain groups effectively squatting in it
Be specific. Electioneering doublespeak is meaningless.
Josiah Bell
the jew bankers and retailers would NEVER let that happen
