It's because of earthquakes, they can't build them underground because the earth keeps shaking.

In fact the reason most of Tokyo is just bland ugly blocks of concrete is because they expect everything to be destroyed every few decades from an extremely powerful earthquake. Its their "scrap and build" philosophy.

Tbh you see plenty of examples of both of those types of buildings in london. There's also plenty of very Dutch looking buildings, especially just west of Oxford Street if you go. Sometimes the only real way you can tell you're in the UK and not the continent is because all of our streets are much thinner

>>76238820
I went to central London, all the touristy streets, went on a boat tour on the thames, went to greenwich, Kew gardens... etc. The only parts of London that compare to Paris are Regent's street and the the City.

Also what's up with your obscenely overpriced property prices? House prices near Kew gardens were between 1 and 3 million euros despite giant jet liners zooming by literally every 2 minutes. And the houses looked like normal townhouses too. For that price you can get a mansion in a Paris suburb in a wealthy neghborhood.

The problem with London is that it's completely uncontrolled architecturally. One street you'll have a medieval style pub and right next to it a modernist concrete piece of shit. It's just jarring and usually ugly.

The best parts of London are when it stick to a classical type, such as the City and Regent's street. You also had nice Victorian buildings but you replaced those with a lot of modernist atrocities.

Central London is still top tier, one of the best in the world alongside Paris. I still think Paris is nicer overall but thats my opinion. London is the much more vibrant and alive city but thats also a negative because its full with gays, homos, eccentric types and shit. I can't stand that. inner Paris is largely a proper bourgeois, upper class city, London is modern, cooler, full of young foreigners, rich and poor, artsy types etc.

Is there even a difference? They're the same, 19th century style with just a few differences here or there.

The big difference is that Paris is built in a more controlled fashion (based Haussmann) while London is a clusterfuck of clashing architectural styles.

But don't worry, that Spanish whore running Paris is already planning to ruin it so the two will look equally disgusting in time.

I have been to both cities and I have to admit that my journey to Paris is a few years ago, but I haven't been looking for niggers on both ones.
In London, "visible minorities" were much more present than in Paris. At least in the center of both of them.
I don't know about the banlieues. But neither do I know the London suburbs.

Eh, I get that /pol/ users are childish, and I also wouldn't mind if we'd weed them out, but of things that are /pol/, this isn't.

Homosexuality, unlike the laws would have you believe, isn't really that normalized in France. If you don't really approve if gay marriage, then you're the norm. Not some radicalized extremist.

This always seems to fly by people, but of countries in Europe, France has one of the strongest "catholic bourgeois" type mentalities still to preside over it. Which is why the gay marriage laws weren't passed by a referendum, but pushed through the National Assembly in haste.
>>
>>76251458
I can't understand that this is your conclusion.
I've been to both cities many times. Everytime I go to Paris it's full of hijab and burqa wearing women, and I even saw muslims praying to allah on the ground. You see them everywhere and you get the impression that there are more of those than there are real franks there (of course it's not, but that's how it feels like when you're there). In London you don't have this at all. You have certain neighbourhoods of course in which the majority is muslim and you have even sharia laws implemented by the local people there who disregard the actual laws of England. You have these in Paris too, but in Paris the muslims tend to be literally everywhere in all streets. You just see them everywhere, it's so sad. I wanted to cry the last time I was there because I was thinking about what would happen to Europe in the end.

Best colours but I just feel it's lacking in other regards.

I've always loved Parisian. :)

Not courts. It is communities implementing it socially. Are you going to deny it?

Paris is alright but I can't help but feel there's so many fucking dodgy people everywhere. What I imagine brazillian cities to be like.

Also t b f it is disproportionately dirty and seems really less green after living in London The transport system is efficient but it is fucking unpleasant to use - again dodgy people/thieves, used nappies left on seats, vandalism, smell of piss everywhere.

What's better about Paris: people tend to be friendlier (londoners will smack you in the gabber if you stand on the left side of an escalator, for example). Also they have more genuine soulful venues to get a drink, meal etc. Apart from the odd pub, large swathes of London are full of chain shit like pizza express and the godawful nandos.
