Philadelphia is better
>>202482381Boston is better desualso much cooler accent
>>202482381how about you stop looking at pictures and come here and see how "soul" it is
>>202482381>NYC>GrittyThis nigga thinks it's still 1982
>>202482381I feel like the difference between sovl and soulless is people put less work into creating brick and mortar business facades and signage than in the 60s, So if an economically prosperous area replaces its old facades and signage with less expensive soulless shit then it looks shitty while a place experiencing urban decay that retains its old facades and signage it will look sovlful. The best is when old signage and aesthetics are simply well maintained.
>>202482381it was built with stone rather than glass.
High density, it's old so it predates cars, and people actually pay specifically to "feel" more New Yorky. Meanwhile other large cities are pretty much built for and by oligarchs who pay for their own leisure with no concern for culture. The only part of New York that's sovlless is Manhatten, it's very affordable here you just have to live within walking distance from the hood, and New York ghettos are still nicer than the ones in the midwest, west, and south.
shithole
