That sub is a literal circle jerk about random non-westoid buildings
Hong Kong is a bastion of freedom and democracy until you speak about cage appartements, then it goes back to just being China
As I’ve said before: if you like cyclopean ruins in video game, your complaints about socialist architecture are bullshit.
That’s a good point, although I would argue that the usual chaotic layout of such fantasy ruins is closer to the capitalist architecture. Something akin to USian skyscrapers slapped about without rhyme or reason
I’m honestly scared of being up in high buildings where you can clearly see outside, I get paranoid about the prospect of somehow falling to death. That Hong Kong apartment building gave me that paranoia.
I’ve had to work in skyscrapers, and I can tell you that its pretty quick to acclimatize to. I had the same phobia but it went away like in a week.
You should proabably get over that, because housing people in wasteful suburban sprawl is incredibly more harmful to the environment.
Phobias are not rational. You can’t just tell someone who probably has some sort of fear of heights to just “get over it”.
As someone who is afraid of heights I can confirm that is true

Lol, isn’t Hong Kong the good place because they resisted the evil CCP or whatever? That’s funny that it counts now.
Moscow one looks odd because of lighting. HK ones look weird to me, though. Is there a different angle?
Yes, if you look at the picture, those already very tall buildings were photographed from the angle that makes the bottom cut off, thus creating illusion they are going further down and seems much taller.
Hence why I asked for a different angle
Hehe, first, have an even worse one:
Some better ones. Make not mistake, it is probably the tallest and densest residental district in the world (it’s prety famous actually, there a lot of pictures in the internet), but it’s not nearly as awful as they make it to be. Sure as hell beats homelessness and shantytowns. Not to mention something like the old Kowloon.
So they comfortably housed a shitload of people AND those people still have a lot of green on the ground level and close by? Neat.
Hauling shit up the stairs must be hell tho. Imagine having the top flat and the elevator is broken.
Well it beats being homeless for sure
Yeah but the people don’t have freedom to be homeless! /s
Hong Kong apartments with kennels for domestic servants.
