Thats because people don't live in cities Like they do in European cities. They live outside the city and drive into town for work

Yes it does. Look at your photo that you had posted. What's the difference? That mountain and an actual, visible sky, that stretches over the image. In other words, nature.
It's not skyscrapers that make that place beautiful, but the nature that surrounds it. The skycrapers are just hideous eyesores, that get in the way and ruin the image.

The more you know.

>>75875009
That mountain is in Seattle.

>>75874520
because our cities have history.

>having shitloads of cheap available land thanks to ultra low population density in the New World
>still voluntarily stacking up like sardines
Makes no sense desu

>skyscrapers
Absolutely disgusting

Correct me on this but is it not because american city planners imposed rules in minimum building height for specific 'skyline' areas?

historically no building was meant to be higher than the tallest cathedreal

European cities just happen to have more history behind them.

That mountain was there before the founding of that city you turdburgler.

I like the whole picture of american cities. the nature and the skyscrapers wrapped together looks very modern and cutting edge to me. Old world cities that look like they are still from the 16th century look nostalgic and cultural for sure, but they also look poor and inefficient

No offense dude, but you've been brainwashed all your life with corporatism and capitalist propaganda, it's little wonder why you'd think that. But your words betray the truth.

>they also look poor and inefficient
I vehemently disagree. Just because we don't live like herrings in a tuna can, and there's some harmony between our cities and the nature that surrounds it we're backwards and poor? I'm sorry we can't all be glorified robots like Americans, bound with a lifetime of debts and obligation.
If anything our cities are more efficient than yours since if you want some bread and milk, we don't have to drive half an hour to the nearest supermarket, but you can just literally walk to the closest shop that's literally next door. Same with work.

American greed really knows no bounds.

this is the actual truth - commuting is much more of a thing in the US compared to Europe. Nearly all those skyscrapers are for people to work, not live

>>75875180
These are just offices, people live in suburbs far away.

>>75875877
European cities are spaces made to live in (you can do everything without a car), not gigantic offices surrounded by bumfuck-nowhere-tier suburbs.

But you're speaking as if it takes more than 10 minutes of driving, or more than 10 dimes of public transport, to get to from suburbs to downtown, which isn't the case. Most people (specially in the 1M>cities like NYC LA SF etc) live within walking distance of their minimum wage jobs.

That's how it works in the US. Most of the people live in the outskirts and drive whereas in Europe people live in the city proper.

True. You might get a heart attack on the way and get rushed to a hospital where you get charged a million dollars and risk being indebted. Can't take a chance.

But art nouveau was a mistake. Neo-gothic was probably one of the last decent architectural styles. After that it was a steady downhill to the vomit inducing modernism, the revolting postmodernism that is genuinely a crime against nature itself, and so on.
