Turns out people care more about how the alley looks behind their house more than how it looks behind their employers shop.

The top does not look like business district mate. Thats just really run down homes, which makes it even more depressing.

Seems like something that might be resolved if you adjust zoning so people live across the alley from businesses. But then, those laws are probably there for a good reason, like protecting homes from being bought up by corporations looking to expand their offices.

good reason, like protecting homes

Don't know how it works where you live but here it's not just big zones, every building and plot has a designation (home, office, commercial, mixed residential + offices, commercial ground floor + residential above it), when you want to change the building or build a new one you need a building permit and ask the city for a change in designation, which they can deny.

We're terrible at urban planning, but that part I think does mean it's preventable.

Why does it matter if it is their employers shop?

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 year ago

I agree. More sunshine and less clouds.

Vine plans all over the surface for the top preserves abandoned look

Reduction of waste would go a long way.

[–] MrMakabar@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 year ago

Seriously it takes a bit of paint, a few flowers and sunshine to turn the upper alley into something similar to the one below. Oh and ban cars from it as well, whilst you are at it. All of that would be extremly cheap.

Looks like it could be the ginnel on Coronation Street.

Yes, less high rise construction and more single family homes!

Seems like you might enjoy living not in a city.

what if we made cities good?
