And now I realize that there is hope for American cities. I have no idea why Los Angeles is so bad, when clearly you can build a good Southern Californian city that has walkability, public transit, and drivability with good architecture and amenities. Apparently, it was the only major US city that was Republican run until recently, so maybe that has something to do with it, but it can't be the whole picture because most Republican cities suck, though I guess a Californian Republican is very different from a Southern or Flyover Republican. SD has a good university too, I'm thinking of doing my Masters there now.
The Gaslamp was fun on Saturday night
>>220020715>Republican cities suckWhat are these "Republican cities"?
>>220020715San Diego is a decent place to visit but an awful place to live
>>220020715San Diego is the best major city in America which is funny because it's right next to Tijuana which literally ejects its poop onto San Diego beaches
>>220020923Anything in the South or Appalachia or Midwest. Name a single city that is good there. Miami is the closest to a decent city in a red state, and 90% of it still sucks.>>220020985Why is living there bad? Expensive?
>>220020715Los Angeles is fucking awesome if you're not low T and extremely broke
>>220020923A lot of the worst cities in the United States are in chud states. Memphis and St. Louis for example.>but the dems run the city!Chud state. Chud leadership. Shit cities.
>>220021015I was surprised at how White San Diego was (for a Californian city) given it is right next to the border, but maybe that makes them take illegal immigration more seriously idk
>>220021022>Anything in the South or Appalachia or Midwest.Yeah those Republican cities like Atlanta and Chicago.
>>220021027It's ugly and dirty and has terrible public transit and has never-ending traffic and is 80% non-White. I live there bro it's not good stop coping.
>>220021042Atlanta is in a red state, and the State government is where the funding comes from and where the ultimate decision on zoning laws come from. Chicago is pretty good if you don't live in the South where black people were redlined into. Please name a single good city in a red state please.
>>220021027Only the neighborhoods near the beaches are any good. Living in the interior or any of the valleys is like living in hell. It would be better if the public transit was worth a damn so you could go to the beaches
>>220021155This. Santa Monica is nice. Venice is alright. Then the rich areas like Westwood and Beverly Hills etc are nice, but that is like 10-15% of the city, the rest is awful.
>>220021034I agree, but Democrats can't run cities well obviously. I think you want Democrats at the State and Federal level, and Republicans at the city level. Or rather you want a Blue State tier Republican running things. Republican policies in California are VERY different from mainstream Republican policies.
>>220021194I'm from the Bay Area and we're lucky because we have the bay breaking up our cities so I can drive ten minutes to the beach or bike in 20 and my town isn't even considered a beach town. But when I stayed in Los Angeles and wanted to go to the beach from the griffith observatory I had to sit in traffic for 4 hours, it's really a mess
>>220021256Yup. Even with a car you are sort of isolated into your area in LA because the traffic is UNBELIEABLY bad. San Francisco would also be top tier if it was cleaned up, it has all the right features (density, location, architecture), but it was dirty, and the homelessness, schizo, and junkie problem is serious and needs to stop being tolerated.
>>220021062Houston is worse in every single one of those categories (except white population, we have less white people so it's better) and yet I am thriving. Visiting LA mogged Houston so hard it was unreal.>>220021155Now imagine LA without the beaches and the entire city is instead built on sinking swamp that gets hit with hurricanes once every 2 years and a catastrophic flood every couple months.
>>220021034Those are shit cities because they're run by niggers thoughbeit
>control f for “nigg”>0 results >mfwI don’t know how you retard burger mutts can have this muh red muh blue conversation when the colour causing the problem is black.
>>220020715Yeah it's niceBut also costs an arm & leg to live there no?
>>220020751>GaslampNormalfag
>>220021027>Los Angeles is fucking awesome if you're not low T and extremely brokeIts true. But I actually had a good time at moments.
>>220021754SF is not very black and still a mess. Niggers always cause a place to be a shithole, but they are not the only cause.
