    i understand where you’re going but that it’s because we’re fucked up by capital, but once you get past that… i don’t see china having a lack of beautiful architecture that blends modernity with traditional style and everything in between. sure, if the us decides to build housing for the people, do whatever you can to make that possible, but it’s not like we only need to do that.

      Literally one of the first complaints libs have about Chinese cities is “copy paste skyscrapers everywhere.” They have some variety in parts of the city but most of the residential areas are still “boring” and “homogeneous” and “designed to kill individualism” according to Western internet geniuses.
