ignorance really is bliss, 95% of american cities are unliveable for me since I took the red pill of urban planning

Northern Quebec is really bizzare.
There are occasional landmarks notated on the maps like dams and forts, but if you zoom in you see that nobodies bothered to get a high res shot of it.

Northern Quebec is our local Siberian wasteland.

>>69119696
I'm like that except I use google earth thanks to the "new" 3D terrain and buildings automatically generated from satellite data

yeah, I like to find cities in mexico, and latin america in general, that have colonial-era layouts in the center, usually with a plaza and old stone cathedral in the center, with red-ish roofs and what look like courtyards in the middle. always seem like the perfect way to design a city to me

pic related, guadalajara

I look at latin amerian countries a lot because I'm interested in them/want to travel to all of them one day

Too bad new developments in Mexico are copying our shitty suburban sprawl.

Strip malls are the most uncultured ugly burger shit that ever existed.

>>69120970
I think Guadalajara is one of the best destinations to go in Mexico, the weather is not that bad, perfect balance between modernity and typical mexican stuff, the women are pretty and theres lots of gays if you are into that

looks like a typical american city from sattelite, except the road layout is actually planned.

OP what American city would you recommend? I live in SoCal, and want to move to Long Beach. It's the best I can find without leaving home.

if money was no option, NYC or san francisco. they both have insane sprawling conurbations but there are really nice, walkable, multi-zoned urban areas that are ideal for an urbanist lifestyle

when I get out of the rural midwest after college I'll prob move to chicago, mostly because the majority of my friends are gonna live there. it's not as good as nyc or san fran in terms of climate, but it's much MUCH cheaper

>>69121779
>not as good as nyc or san fran in terms of climate
get ready for 100 degree summers and -20 degree winters

>>69121779
Been to Chicago a few times. Used to be a much nicer unfortunately. Don't think I could stand it there, it gets way too fucking cold.

>>69121746

yep well I'd rather live through brutal winters with an established social circle than be in a brand new city without one

finding meaningful social relationships while living alone in a brand new city is quite difficult

There's something eerie about Japan, it looks so organic yet so artificial at the same time.

I usually do it. I like to use the street view, a few years ago I found an old guy with a prostitute in akihabara.
