  • drab concrete boxes with apartments that have bizzare floorplans and seem to be built for money laundering purposes.

    I am so happy I’m not alone seeing it. Modern “development” is such a massive scam, in every country it seems like. It’s the new equivalent of logging or mining barons- they buy up land, build shit on it, sell it overpriced, wash their hands and move on to the next project with little regard for long term urban city planning. They are creating forced gentrification.


  • We lived in similar housing back in the 80’s, and the surrounding area was nothing but lovely greenery and forests, by design. Then the 00’s came around and they privatized everything, sold the apartments, and cut down all the greenery. I don’t know why, it’s just something they do, like, they had to create low income jobs somehow and decided the best way is to equip parks&rec with chainsaws and just go around and cut shit down to validate their own existence, so they could show their amazing statistics.

    Now everything is barren concrete, and it looks way more like actual grey communist dystopia than it did before. Go figure.

    That’s right! It just blew my mind when I learned about it because it feels like it should be this ancient Japanese ur-sushi, yet it’s a very modern invention, or perhaps innovation is a better word here.

    It’s like chili in Asian food is not older than some three hundred years, before that they had their various spice mixes to achieve a similar result. Or tomatoes in Italy, same thing, and pasta as well. I mean potatoes came to Europe in the 1700’s…
