Be glad China took over manufacturing because then you'd have more overcrowded, polluted, dirty cities

>It's another "I hate tall buildings because /pol/ told me efficiency is jewish" thread

>>70281743

Has nothing to do with tall buildings. NYC is an attractive city. When things are planned out they can be attractive. But unfortunately most Americans do not live in these large, efficient cities. They live in small cities with a few "thorns" among all the houses and small businesses. And their public spaces are neglected. The few nice cities in the US and Canada are home to a very small minority of everyone else.

>Europeans complain about us living in the suburbs
They do? I love living in a suburbian area. Then again I live next to a few small towns and villages. When I was in America it seemed like there were cities and suburbs and not much in between. Might have just been the small part of the country I saw though

Big cities are too expensive to live in and they intimidate me (I like something in between rural and urban, like a small/medium-sized city.)

the suburbs are the best place to live desu

The US has clean factories, otherwise we would have been polluted like China years ago.

>>70282175

The factories aren't clean, the regulations are. China can make pretty much anything using any kind of material. Which is why sometimes you get "toxic products" that are imported to the US. But if US was focused on manufacturing superiority there probably wouldn't be as many regulations and they'd be just as polluted.

Even more so in Asia. I would never want to live in the dense urban core of an Asian city. But then again I imagine living outside the cities would make life difficult.

Manufacturing superiority isn't superior if its toxic.

The US already has among the worlds largest facilities and all are already in compliance with the regulations. So its not mutually exclusive.

Most Americans work in "service" jobs. Scalability of the manufacturing sector is possible but only if you allow the manufacturing of stuff that would otherwise not get made with strict US regulations.

So, like suburbs? I don't think I would ever live downtown but I like my suburb, it's worth the commute.

>>70282475

He means something like Houston (if I'm correct) with a small urban core surrounded by mostly small businesses and homes. That's the kind of city I live in.

we're not quite that developed on the level of east asia so as to have an ultra dense skyscraper packed and vehicle filled urban centre
i more meant because it's more /comfy/, while also being convenient enough to be close to the centre, unlike a town would be
picrel is my own suburb
