>San BernardinoMight as well just call it San Beanerdino. SoCal is ruined forever
>>544593285For once that confuses and enrages me, fair enough.
I always feel claustrophobic whenever I travel abroad or to American cities. I miss having a big house with a big yard, a big garage, a big driveway, wide streets, mostly free sidewalks with the occasional jogger or dog walker, and lots of free and easy parking at most of the places that I go to. It's honestly relaxing. People that haven't experienced American suburbia wouldn't understand. https://youtu.be/BDXHtLqFUf4?si=0dBEej8KDtXtTeAr
>>544593285Why would you need that much parking space? Are the other 20,000 for tourists?
how is potato-headed bobby supposed to get around? by walking?
>for 1700 residentssan bernardino metro has 4million peoplebut is it the warehouse hub for everything shipped through los angeles?
>>544595119Everyone drives in to their shitty office job they could do remotelyeveryone drives homeThey all do this about the same time each dayThey all bitch about the trafficPublic transit is actually slower than walking somehow, and definitely slower than driving. Biking is considered an active suicide attempt and you will be involuntarily committed if you try. The tale of 80% of North American cities.
>>544595119Everyone lives in surrounding areas but travels to downtown for work/shopping/etc.
>>544595374Does everyone just work at that one building towards the bottom left? But that still doesn't account for the rest
>>544595032Comparing yours to my home city. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOqCbfvq9MY
>>544595119you vill drive ze goymobile
>>544593285Yeah it's not for the downtown residents, it's for everyone that lives around it.
>>544595511San Bernadino has 220,000 residents.
>>544595119its a downtown area, its the services and industrial hub of an area with a population of 2.2 million.its irrelevant that only 1,700 people live in the downtown areaIf its all malls and businesses and industry the people parking there are customers, workers, and tourists. For a hub serving potentially 2 million residents (the county), 23,000 parking spaces probably isn't enough.basically OP just dropped another 1pbtid turd into the brains of site users.this is one of those 'make the site less interesting' posts.
>downtownwagies drive to work
>>544595673yeah, thought those numbers were fucked up. 1,700 residents in a downtown is like an area not zoned for any residential use. that's basically live in security and hotels.
>>544595119Op's example is retarded because San Bernardino is basically the outskirts of LA, so they need the parking for the other 3.87 million people that might stop by.
there's a thing you can build called a parking garage that lets you cram many times more cars into the same foot print that a parking lot hasbut if you built one, it would be the tallest building in san bernardinothey're not exactly hurting for space>"downtown" san bernardinokekyou will always be a suburb
>>544595529It's aight. Kind of reminds me of a mid-sized American city like Ann Arbor. Not too bad, but still too crowded for my taste. Also a bit dreary, but that's probably because the video was shot in winter.
>>544593285Let me guess, it is a business district with offices and shops etc?
