Why can't American infrastructure look cool and futuristic? What went wrong? Why are there no cyberpunk cities? Is it because we spend too much on wars and catering to single nigger mothers? Help me understand.Places like Japan and China are smart in that they have clusters of concrete jungle cities and then open space for nature. I mean half of China is literally desert. America instead builds shitty suburbs everywhere. Animals wander in peoples backyards because they have no where else to go, your ugly burbs are taking over their homes.Major American cities .. like what ..? ugly ass vegas? Pissy smelling NYC? Compare those to Shanghai or Tokyo.Asia is building futuristic cyberpunk cities. I feel like a poverty stricken African when I look at their success and aesthetic compared to ours.I'm a fan of the Jap cyberpunk aesthetic, but I feel like we could put our own trad Euro inspired twist on it.

>>257126790kinda sad, really.I went to Germany last year and it was so bland and they occasionally had ugly modern office buildings or museums, but they were such an eyesore.
>>257124917Las Vegas is basically the new Cyberpunk game they're going to release that's going to fucking bomb hard because it looks like GTA: San Andreas with neon lights on your jacket.
>>257116772America is too big. the reason why tokyo has a bunch of kick ass looking towers is because they don't have much land so they have to move upwards
>>257127140also people moved out of cities to get away from blacks.
>>257116772Shut up commie no one wants to live like that except for you and your weeb friends. If you don't want a 20 acre homestead you're probably not even white.
>>257127478They have released zero footage of the full city at night. Best you get is warehouses and the ocean. So you can't really make a judgment. They are saving the neon city for a fallout 'leave the vault' kind of reveal. It's so obvious it hurts.

>>257128407You missed the point of my post. We can have more green space and less deforestation if we all clustered in bigger cities instead of destroying nature to build copy and paste suburbs and walmarts.
>>257128629Yes, modern architects are shit and what they learn is shit. They are mostly all NPCs. t. Architect student.
>>257128701I cannot believe you actually believe your city, vegas, is cyberpunk. Even poor SEA countries have better skylines.

America is so ugly. The only nice places are in the country, suburbia was a mistake. The boomer obsession with cars needs to cease, and we need to embrace public transportation if we want to move closer to each other.
Cyberpunk cities are breeding grounds for all manners of degeneracy. American society hardly needs more of that.Neo Tokyo may be more tailored to what you are seeking out.
>>257130966will do>>257131177also true. there's a reason why americans are so obese (one of them) is because we don't walk anywhere and rely on cars. suburbia is a hellscape.

>>257131425>Cyberpunk cities are breeding grounds for all manners of degeneracy.why do you believe this?I think it has more to do with culture. NYC is degenerate because it's full of jews and niggers.megacities in asia seem to be functioning well.
>>257128877This is actually very cool. Imagine something similar in Europe with full modern/cyberpunk plus a touch of trad.
>>257116772It's unironically because of diversity. If we only had to worry about our own people in ethno-states, every country would basically be an aesthetically pleasing version of its current self.
>>257116772Such a fucking retarded post. Confused why western cities don’t look like an aesthetic created for eastern cities. Bitch we get land and you get a balcony.
>>257132109I hope the japs can learn from our mistakes.
>>257132500>Bitch we get land and you get a balcony."land" i.e, a barren lawn drenched in Monsanto-Bayer Roundup (that instills a sense of domineering grandiosity in proles).
>>257132500I would rather have a nice balcony than a boring patch of land in a copy and paste suburb. imagine living in the white version of shanghai, or tokyo. imagine having 3 kids and a wife in a 3 bedroom apartment. imagine waking up in the middle of the night to the smell of freshly cooked ____ below your window.imagine taking your cup of _____ and walking the narrow streets, smiling at your fellow white people.imagine wanting to get out of the city, so you go camping for a week in the rest of the country, because you can, because it's our green and mountainous with no ugly streets and suburbs to hurt your eyes or scare animals away.Imagine~

>>257134407>imagine working 70 hours a week in an office >imagine riding a crowded train to work and home everyday>imagine having a 3 inch penis>imagine having no wife>imagine having no kids>imagine spending all your extra money on gacha games and mangaThose are Japanese problems. All I’m suggesting is we copy their architecture. >>257134271I think it would save more time if we just low-key sterilize them.
>>257133460The fact that you think everywhere needs to be a "NEON METROPOLIS" to achieve its peak aesthetic reveals your shitty globalist ideology and your braindead ignorance on the matter. Your soul should cease to exist.
>>257116772america doesnt have the skill, cooperation, or resources at this point. we are the ending stages of the roman empire, derelict, and overextended. unable to do anything because of the weight of our own stupidity and oligarchy.
>>257116772Agreed man.Even Bangkok is more advanced and ahead than New York City at this point. Not even kidding. The US is fucking pathetic. Los Angeles, Houston, Phoenix, Atlanta, etc all need to be fucking glassed and rebuilt from scratch. Chicago, New York, Boston, Philly and San Francisco need massive overhauls and investment.
>>257128877nature is all completely destroyed, everything we live in is completely artificial and stocked. its all for show. youll see someday at the end of the rabbit hole. we all live in the truman show and we are all the watchers.
>>257126312>>257127124Youre a retard.Hes right. Las Vegas is a fucking amusement park, not a real city. Get real idiot.
>>257116772>Places like Japan and China are smart in that they have clusters of concrete jungle cities and then open space for nature.Every single one of their homes is built like that. It's ingrained in their culture. American culture is about BIG, thus mcmansions are a thing here. In America you have a BIG home with a backyard. In Japan you have a tiny home built around a 10ftx10ft courtyard.We don't appreciate nature here, we tame it and mold it to our liking. Cut down trees whenever possible and replace them with green grasses lined with flower beds.
America is an irrelevant shithole, nobody cares.
>>257134619That doesn’t fit the comfy cyberpunk/vapor wave theme
>>257135189>We don't appreciate nature here, we tame it and mold it to our liking. Cut down trees whenever possible and replace them with green grasses lined with flower beds.boomer spottednot everyone is like you lawn worshiping freaks
>>257121856Lurk more, stop kidding youself faggot.
>>257129173Bangkok is such an awesome city. Its literal fucking IRL Blade Runner like how it is in the first movie. Down to the quirky atmosphere and strange mix of people. I go there at least once every year, and always find new things to explore. American cities are so fucking stifling and suffocating.
>>257135189back in reality, gooks and chinks are literally destroying the earth and doing things like eradicating tigers so they can make tiger bone tea with them. you are a nigger and should leave western society before the real happenings start.
>>257135409I mean as a general rule, not as my personal opinion. If I hit it big and made a shit ton of money the first thing I'd do is move to japan and buy a kyo machiya.
>>257135016This.I went to Kuala Lumpur last year and I was surprised by how comfy and aesthetic it was, since Malaysia is technically a third world country. It had less pollution compared to NYC or chongqing because I saw more people on their bikes/scooters than cars, but it has a beautiful skyline and a ton of hidden neon lit streets.
>>257116772waste of money
>>257135537>>257135537>nobody likes chinaYeah me either. Their old traditional culture was cool, but it got decimated by filthy communists. Much like what will soon happen in America.You look down on these people without realizing you are about to join them, low IQ footsoldier. Everything we love about America will be torn down and shit on by filthy communists.It's time to leave soon or die, but I don't really know where to go.
>>257134833arrested development of intelligent design to fawn over anachronistic, contemporaneously configured "heritage" snuffs out the bioluminescence of the spirit.>I think it would save more time if we just low-key sterilize them."cost-cutting" solutions of the merchant infecting the conceptualizations to supplant the paradigm it presides over. sterlization efforts that breed violent animosity from the troglodytic and barren; distrust, compensative guilt, and the seeds of counter-revolution from "ours".
>>257135537I’m not gonna go full captain-save-a chink, but Americans did nearly wipe out all our bisons lmao. I pray they civilize, though. Japan is a better example of cyberpunk with normal inhabitants.
Why the fuck do everyone praise China?I live there and litteraly all cities are shit. Rust everywhere on buildings, it looks like a post nuke world. Our cities look disgusting and the public parts are all shit because no one take care of them.
>>257116772Dutch cities are futuristic af despite preserving their architecture. Netherlands is first world done right
>>257116772>Futuristic>Ancient JapanNani
>>257128231putting aside questions of freezing your culture in aspic like that, what's the benefit of building architectural infrastructure for a society and economy that haven't existed in centuries while you're already having issues dealing with a population orders of magnitude larger
>>257116772what do you mean by cyberpunk, exactly? you know cyberpunk is meant to be a dystopian take on shiny happy 1950's futurism, right?
>>257136366tourist money.
>>257136329They’re not really futuristic.. at all. >Netherlands is first world done rightThey have a small population and small land mass. I wouldn’t use them as an example for the rest of the first world such as Germany, UK, or US to follow.
>>257135767air quality index in kuala lampur is twice as high as new york city. while they're both in the good range new york has half as much air pollution

>>257136493so what do your resident citizens do, caper around in costume all day like it's disney world?
>>257116772Youre in luck OP. My job takes me to Asia a lot for a living, and Cyberpunky photos of Asia are my thing. I'll upload some comfy OC IRL Cyberpunk pics ITT.This is South Korea. Either Seoul or Busan, cant remember,
>>257136698Damn really? I wonder why that is.
>>257136817Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.This building was obviously some old burnt out building, they converted it all into multiple stories of different little cafes and restaurants and bars.
>>257136817Why are Asians so much better at designing their cities than Americans or Europeans? Fuck it’s embarrassing.
>>257128877Then go live in a shitty soulless residential tower in Manhattan or Chicago and watch trees on your TV. I'll continue to live in my wooded suburb and enjoy not having people walking over my head and relaxing in my private backyard.
>>257137026Also Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
You guys are such embarrassing retards who watch too much TV. Sit and think for a moment about what we have in our real lives and not in some tacky neon wet dream you saw in a movie. We have cars that drive themselves now, governments monitoring our every move through our electronic devices and through entire cities wired with CCTV and face recognition, and entire lives and records are stored in data clouds that are owned operated and controlled by the corporations that run our world. We already live in the cyberpunk era you dummies, and it's kind of a nightmare.
>>257137158More HMCH, Vietnam
>>257136913lax environmental regulations. bitch about the EPA all you want but catalytic converters really did make a huge difference in american cities
>>257136646I’ve been to Amsterdam and Rotterdam. A lot of the architecture, the aesthetic and just they way they make use of their planning and infrastructure to move their people- it’s leagues ahead of US and even other Euro countries IMO. Netherlands is a properly planned country if there ever was one. They’ve engineered every aspect of their environment. They are the Japan of the west
>>257137131suburbs are gulags for consoomers, they even look like prison camps from overhead
>>257137293Bangkok, Thailand
>>257137131>I'll continue to live in my wooded suburbYou are fucking stupid. If everyone in the suburbs moved to the city like I suggested, there would be more room for nature and forested areas. THAT'S MY POINT. God you are just such a dumb fucking retard. Jesus.Yeah, and good luck busing literally everyone into the country without destroying it and turning it into another city. It's just not possible with current population levels.You think you live in the forest, when in reality you live in a shitty copy and paste suburb.
>>257137549More Bangkok
>>257116772>Why are there no cyberpunk cities?Cyberpunk is dystopian, and instinctually people don't want to live in a dystopia. Cyberpunk aesthetics are alienating rather than comforting. Classical architecture uses materials that are timeless and designs that reflect a place and it's history and are more focused on natural light. Neon is not fun to look at all the time. The fantasy provides novelty but lacks peace and harmony. Suburbs are a mistake, and asian cities function because of homogeneity.
>>257116772No thanks
>>257116772jew-naggers!
>>257136760And cyberpunk is not? The definition of cyberpunk 2077 is 'shithole', go watch some trailers. It is a run-down, unfinished city.

>>257138017the london underground and the new york subway are both over a century old. the shanghai metro began operation in 1993
>>257137407You're right. Real freedom is waiting on a subway platform for the train back to your $2600 a month studio apartment in a residential skyscraper two blocks away from a housing project packed with fatherless niglets and a smelly Asian grocery store. Peak s-thet-x.
>>257137774are you stupid?you know the concept of "cyberpunk" has been around long before your shitty video game? vegas is not cyberpunk, as the other user mentioned, it's just a strip of land that they turned into an amusement park. I would barely consider it a city.

Imagine being conservative and wanting to tear down your historic cities and all old buildings in order to build ugly sterile looking "future" shit.

>>257137655I lived in a big city for over a decade. It sucked. The only good thing about it was it was easy to get laid. That smug self-righteousness you have about preserving nature is pure cope.

>>257138983>your cityWhy do you keep saying "your" I live on the fucking east coast. You also have a US flag. So OUR would be more appropriate. I used it, because it is a cyberpunk city.
