  1.  @aristeon5908  They aren't wonderful - they are dreadful and depressing to live in. Concrete jungles full of ugly skyscrapers and cramped Communist-esque boxes are places you couldn't pay me to live in. I'd rather live in a museum and be happy than "develop" (for the worse) and live like an NPC in a box with depression - something that's happening in just about every modernist building today.

  2. I'd rather live in Disneyland than horribly bloated megacities - something Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore all are today.

  3. Yes, because the modernist (depressing) neighbourhoods being built in the USSR and Yugoslavia at the time definitely came about normally, right?

  4. Disneyland > Soviet Union

  5. And here we have yet another one uttering the bankrupt "muh Disneyland" theory.

  6.  @aristeon5908  Oh cool, I love being featured in a cherrypicked modernist article full of copes on how glass & steel buildings who often cost more than their traditional variants and brutalist appartment blocs that make area's resemble Yugoslavia are actually good! Are you going to feature how man-made parks consist as "nature" instead of, you know, genuine nature as well? Or how flashing neon lights and camera's everywhere are actually not totally weird at all also? Be sure to send it when it's ready, I'll be sure to not read it. ;)

  7. That's a lot of words to say "I hate beauty and tradition and vote left-wing parties".

  8. Now ask yourself: what kind of people were they even? Were they even from Europe? If not, then remigration solves that problem. ;)

  9. They always complain that "the poor" are hit, but they'll never tell you what kind of "poor" are affected. Tell me, how much of a succes story are the Banlieues again?

  10. "marginalised groups" you mean non-Europeans which weren't even supposed to be there in the first place?

  11. Cope and seethe.

  12.  @tatianaes3354  "MUH construction industry MUH parasitic system" The only parasite I see around me are non-Europeans slurping up what little houses are left that should be going to us. If you are okay with open borders and endless mass migration of non-Europeans into Europe yet still think you have a right to anything, you deserve to sleep under a bridge for all I care. Tradition and beauty come first, I don't care how many internationalist building companies will go tits up as a result. Learn to improve, or perish in bankruptcy.

  13. - You don't have to build mini-Yugoslavia to "house the poor" (which wouldn't even be a problem as bad as it is now if non-Europeans were remigrated half as often as happens now) - Beauty is objective, you just have no taste. - You sound like a Communist, which is extremely cringe. - This is a way to build cheap and environmentally friendly, as opposed to costly modernist garbage which overrides costs more often than not and looks like ass doing so. - Poverty and rental prices aren't a problem - immigration is. Fix that, and you don't have the other two. ;)

  14.  @cletusbufford  What the hell do you know about neighbourhoods in Europe?

  15. There is no love to be shown for something that is soulless and purely made for profit anyway.

  16.  @TheGinglymus  Are you actually dense or do you get off to replying snarkily?

  17.  @LO-dm6uf  "muh Disneyland, muh gentrification" Let's be real here, if you support open borders and then complain about these so-called issues, you don't deserve a home at all. Like I said, they are non-Europeans living in places meant for Europe, and people really *would" rather live in Disneyland than in Yugoslavia 2.0. Cry about it.

  18.  @LO-dm6uf  Yeah, you can continue to ignore me and pretend like you never read my comment, but it's the cold hard truth. If you support open borders, don't complain you can't get a house. Sucks to be you, Felicia.

  19. I can feel the pretentiousness dripping from this comment. Some counterpoints for you: 1. Beauty is objective - you just have no taste. 2. All the goals of this project have been reached - a pleasant space to live in, while looking good to do so (because yeah, people prefer "kitsch" over depressing ;) ). 3. What "future" are you even talking about? Giant ugly glass & steel skyscrapers or concrete appartment blocs with no heart to it, purely meant to dump as many people in them while offering as little living space as possible? That "future"? Have fun living in Yugoslavia 2.0 - we want none of it, however.

  20. Oh no, general improvement is bad!

  21.  @duvine3882  Oh no, non-Europeans had to live somewhere else. Terrible! If they want, I can help them out in getting a one-way plane ticket back to their host nations. That way, they don't need to suffer at our hands, and neither do we at theirs.

  22. Wait until you find out that towns like Poundbury, Brandevoort, Heulebrug and more exist... equally beautiful.

  23. Maybe ask yourself first: what kind of people were they even? Are they from Europe? No? Then remigration will solve the problem. ;)

  24. You sound really fun at parties.

  25.  @marcionphilologos5367  Thank the Gods you people are not in charge of designing buildings, or we'd all be blackpilled and depressed weirdo's.

  26.  @marcionphilologos5367  Good thing our ways are winning ground. Your blackpilling and angry Chud-tier screeching will soon be against a mirror, since no one will listen anymore. The future is the past, not ugly modernism. Cry about it.

  27.  @aristeon5908  Cool, I don't care if you do - they are horrid places to live in, full of ugly concrete skyscrapers and neon lights that blind you. An average European city or even village feels more pleasant than any of that fake and vapid CONSOOMER-style architecture and planning. Same goes for any horrid American cities.

  28.  @aristeon5908  "MUH individuality" Stop being utterly cringe and stop acting like a petulant manchild for 5 seconds okay thank you. Also no, they're not great places to live in, far from it. They're sprawling urbanite hellholes filled with ugly appartment complexes and a "backwards" nation like Malaysia with its nature is more pleasant than any sprawling hellhole full of neon lights and 500 appartment blocs everywhere will ever be. "If you don't like a city or area don't move there, but stop insulting people who like that!" Oh this sentence is DRIPPING with irony. "I can insult your styles and cities all day long, but don't you dare insult mine!" I'm amazed you haven't used any stupid buzzwords like racist yet, too.

  29.  @the_aesthetic_city  If you do so, look into Hans Kollhoff's designs. He makes very pleasant traditionalist buildings, some of which have been skyscrapers (Statendam in Rotterdam, JuBi building in The Hague, Foortse Towers Vathorst in Amersfoort and of course Main Plaza in Frankfurt to name a few). And, of course, there's the pinnacle of beauty - the skyscrapers built in New York.

  30. Solution: make this the standard way of building and get rid of the concrete Yugoslavia-tier blocs so that this problem filters itself out over time. Great idea!

  31.  @vovixs.567  There is no such thing as "subjective beauty": you just have no taste.

  32.  @vovixs.567  Whew, now THAT'S what I call a cope for the ages. Now tell me, in what building do you live? In a beautiful one, or in a concrete Soviet-tier box? Because at least your cope would have a miniscule shred of sense if your answer is the latter.
