There is literally nothing wrong with that picture. Cars must park somewhere and I'm pretty sure the city is big enough so those few blocks aren't an inconvenience.

Whats wrong with it is that it is hideous
>>52339825
Have they not heard of parking structures?
>>52343776
texas has so much space they just don't worry about that sort of shit.

Classic American short-sightedness.
>>52344083
Have you seen Austin?
>>52344083
so you end up with the utter garbage seen in the picture, a space which people have no reason to be other than to work.

Most likely it's driven by some regulatory idiocy--minimum parking requirements that are way too high, building height caps, etc.

And a non-CG picture I took from the top of a hill.
It's not horrible, but it could be a lot better. They just need better city planners.

As I said, they need better city planners.
The roads are forgiveable, as they're mostly one-ways and street parking.
The railways...less so. We actually have a VIA train connection to Ottawa, Toronto, and so on...but it doesn't leave from downtown. The downtown rails are mostly industrial, storage, and a pass-through for freight. The actual trains leave from what is basically a shack on the outskirts of town.
The parking lots...again, city planning is shit here. The mall downtown has a parking structure, which is great, but everything else has fuckhuge lots instead.
It could be really nice if they added parking structures instead of having lots, allowed for higher density construction (up until last year city council were nazis about building in the core), and tidied up the rail area.

I'm not sure they exist anymore. Not since the 19th century.
The red building looks so out of place.
>>52339328
Capitalist blocks
>>52349542
Still, I have hope.
The new city council seems to have their stuff together (everything they've done so far has been nothing but positive), so I'm hoping that in a decade or two we'll have a respectable little downtown up here.
Who here /cozy/?
Merry Christmas
Well I'm done; hope someone enjoyed the dump.
Something out of context, but if you live in Mexico there is a 90% chance that you live by any of these streets.
Honest talk, I just want to let people know how my country really is, with its shitty side and all.

Also Chapultepec, In this photo I can see the building I'm currently living in. :D
Also, I've always wanted to know how NORMAL streets look like in each country.
In front of my home. Not so good as fuck
