Why is Japan so cozy?
>>2878192>unremarkable street :|>unremarkable street, Japan :0
>>2878197I'm from California, your image is fucking stupid because you have to have some really magic nat 20 dice roll to make something look that good. In my neighborhood(it's a good one Orange county) there are beer cans, homeless, trash all over and we have STROADS of all things... Keep in mind this is California one of the biggest GDP in the world and best infrastructure and healthiest people out of all the states. I doubt the rest of the country is any better, it's just cool how Japan manages this somehow. kindly fuck off with your bullshit.
>>2878192the modern, urban parts of japan never appealed to me (not enough nature, too cramped, ugly buildings). but the countryside and traditional architecture is beautiful.
>>2878198Reddit weighs in
>>2878232says the flyover.... *rollseyes*
>>2878192Looks like extreme urban density which is the exact opposite of "cozy".
>cozy>bring weed>get disappeared by secret police and held forever in a secret jailjapan is comfy unless you violate one of their millions of strict rules
>>2878253If you need weed to enjoy a foreign country you're a lobotomite who is better off just staying on his piss soaked couch.
>>2878262bruh... I can eat cereal with a fork that doesn't mean it's the best way to do it.Amerimutts are so dumb and third world, Germany I can get it so easy and non issue but have fun with life. YOu are mind broken
>>2878249I know amerimutts are brain damage but that is perfect. If you need a coffee bottle? walk down get one not drive 1 hr to walshart.
>>2878192I just like their urban planning
>>2878197>>2878198[Thing] Japan is objectively better than [Thing] America like 95% because everything in America is designed to maximized suffering and inconvenience while everything in Japan is designed to be livable and easily traversable. If Japan's cities were built like American cities, Japanese people would be killing themselves in droves, even more than they already do. The fact Japan is competently designed and efficient is the only thing keeping those people from jumping off bridges because of their shitty slavery tier jobs.
>>2878262its a sign of broader conservatism and social intolerance for nuance and shows they are reactionary bug people who are incapable of higher complex thought
>>2878192They have Third World ugly metal shutters in Japan too? Very disappointing. The street is extremely ugly as well. Even India has big shade trees still standing all across their cities.
>>2878285Social intolerance for drug addiction and drug addicts is one of the best things about Asia. Go to goymany if you want to be surrounded by drug addicts and the nonwhite street thugs who sell the shit.
>>2878288t. rigid rulebound autist who cannot comprehend nuance or gradation germany is literally also famous for being rule bound autists who don't deal in the real world but instead in their own imagination where everything is orderly and perfect
>>2878280It would greatly improve Japs' mental health if their cities took a page from America and werent hyper optimized for space.Have you sean how tiny some apartment in Tokyo are?>>2878288Draconian laws against drugs actually have the opposite of the intended effect.When Portugal legalized weed consumption actually DROPPED... and the criminal element disappeared since you could now buy it from legit sellers rather than sketchy criminals.
>>2878192It's not, it's so fucking crowded there.Don't even get me started on the ciggy boxes and energy drink cans littered behind signs and in gardens.t. Japan traveler
no street parking is the biggest one and theratio of the width of the street and the height of the buildings are the same. not just in japan though
>>2878192it hasn't been completely infiltrated by third worlders it seems, Japan demands to train them to a certain standard at least which works sometimes or not. When I last visited Japan recently it wasn't as cozy as it once was when i last went there 20 years ago. So i'd give you that.
>>2878197Subhuman SEETHING AND FUMING unable to cope with the fact that compared to his faveloid shithole Japan is heaven on earth he will never access or emulate due to being some sort of last man subhuman either spiritually or physically brown.Only few places in China are comparable.>>2878292You can just kill drug dealers and deport smuggling foreigners forever after giving them a 5 year tour of just a medium security gaol.America is a land of dysfunction, but by all means go wild on weed preferably laced with fent.
>>2878192It's really just an urban shithole that happens to not have any homeless or drug addicts on every single corner. The lack of heroine and fentanyl freaks screaming all night and day makes that huge of a difference.

>>2878198>t. raped slavecalifornia unironically mogs japan in every way. muh stroads. stay on reddit faggot.
>>2878197fpbp
>>2878192No graffiti >>2870275
>>2878192cuz you are weeb faggot
>>2878342That's bigger than people thinkGraffiti is visual pollution and a fair number of retards will defend it as art. It's complete shit and vandals need to be caned like Singapore does
I find Japan and other Asian countries very overrated their populations are incredibly annoying stupid and superficial the only good thing about them is their technology but other than that they are horrible places to live
Japan is "safe, livable, convenient"In fact it's overwhelming and overcrdowed place where NPCs move from one place to another.Perfect for game addicted onions chugging redditors, but you will never even find someone to talk to. You will never connect with anyone there
>>2878356>>2878357Filtered
>>2878357this is the truth
>>2878276Me too
>>2878432it does look a lot better at night
>>2878342They have graffiti though.
>>2878198most of japan is an ugly sprawl dude. you know like 4 out of 5 japanese basically live in tokyo or another useless mega city lacking the cool tokyo experience.california is amazing but you posted a smug loli anime meme, so im guessing you havent left the state, probably thinking its worse than the dozens of literal ghettos and welfare states people in america actually have to live in. the problem with californias wealth is said welfare states (our loyal fellow americans!!!) who we have to send money to for no reason, and grow crops for no reason, and export "goyslop" entertainment and tech to, so they can continue shopping at the dollar general and calling states theyve never been "third world" on twitter.at least those states, they bus those homeless you hate here as a thank you.
>>2878280and how does Japan compare to the other 193 countries in the world?
>>2878192>>2878432Those are the consequences of a lack of planning
>>2878525less planned town but somehow better transit systems
>>2878525Planned cities are soulless and just painful to go to. Cities with strict grid layouts take more time to get across. They have no secret side streets to find. They have no variation. They're theoretically nice because they're easy to navigate, but it's the same as a bee hive. A place for bug people to live in. Unplanned cities grow to fit the needs of people at the time.
>>2878192Idk but it's pretty cozy>pic related. Tried this instant yakisoba today. Thought it was just a gimmick but actually it was pretty good. Threw in some shredded salad chicken for protein.
Japan suburb is the most soulless residential development in existence. I rather live in cage in big city than Japanese suburb
>>2878317What place isn't less cozy than 20 years ago though
>>2878198>I'm from California, your image is fucking stupid because you have to have some really magic nat 20 dice roll to make something look that goodyou are literally retarded, you can literally get anime keyframes just by shooting photos randomly, picrel
>>2878253>knowingly commit a crime while traveling>suffer consequenceswow
>>2878253their jails are actually very comfy. people commit crimes over there for no other reason other than to be incarcerated
I miss Japan can't wait to visit it again next year to visit Shikkoku, Kagoshima and Miyazaki. Maybe NE of Tokyo like Gifu or Sendai too.
>>2878198You are actually sick. I don't know how you've convinced yourself to see things in some kind of made up reality. I literally typed Hammersmith into Google and picked the first image, so not even biased and this is way more pleasing to the eye than your imagine. The UK is hell, but the average street still doesn't have crap everywhere and homeless people. Obviously you can find that but you can find nasty streets in Japan too.
>>2878262This is a slag from Hinge. I recently discovered she's literally prepared to miss out on life experiences and die barely seeing anything that life has to offer because of weed. Can't even have a decent conversation with these women. It's actually messed up
>In before, that guy is JapaneseI know
>>2878198>kindlySAAAAR I AM OF CALIFORNIA SAAR I AM JACKED BLOND SURFER BRO SARRRR
>>2878197unironically it's just that anons see the japanese as non-threatening compared to their fellow everyone else.
>>2878192Cuz it just is
>>2879804What makes Japan actually unique is that the rich and the poor live in the exact same neighborhoods in Japan, mostly.There are small countries where almost everyone is wealthy, but there is no other country where it is as common as in Japan for a wealthy person to live next door to someone in a run-down house. Therefore, there are basically no truly terrible streets in Japan.That’s truly special for a country with a population of over 100 million
>>2878340Based retard
>>2878192no cars parked on the roads, cozy small apartments and shops, plants and trees, powerlines that remind you of your old neighborhood, bikes everywhere, public transit, sunny bright days and cool evenings, vending machines all over the place, the smell of grilled meats in the air, mountains in the distance, comfy bars filled with locals. Idk, why is Japan so cozy?
It's because they have no zoning laws. You can buy a shop and live above it or open a shop next door to a bunch of people's homes
>>2882404That is special, however I'm sure I'm sure everyone would still go there if this wasn't the case, this just makes their thoughtless choice a better experience incidentally. I'm not doubting it's a great country.How did this economic situation come about anyway? That IS unique. It would make it more embarrassing to be poor though haha
>>2882551>It's because they have no zoning lawsretarded takeof course they have zoningpretty restrictive zoning evenlarge chunks of rural Japan are literally "non-rebuildable land" (saikenchikufuka)the only major difference to most european countries is how close you can build to your neighbor / land border and what you need on your land (i.e. parking spot minimum)only the US has this weird "no shops" zoningmost streets tourists walk through are usually>Quasi-Residentialor even (Neighborhood) Commercialwhich is pretty similar to literally every inner city core in the world (except the US)
>>2882575>You're retarded here's why I'm going to be wrong Instead of strictly separating residential and commercial areas, Japan utilizes a mixed-use approach that allows homes, small shops, and offices to coexist
>>2879805These kinds of people be like “It’s not a drug and I’m not addicted to it!”“But I can’t go more than a few days without it to feel normal”
>>2882602I don't think it's about addiction, it's just that she's such a nothing person that smoking weed is the highlight of her life. Many people are like this, usually with social media, they're interchangeable but neither genuinely addictive
It's safe.
>>2882685pussy
>>2882685I love Japan bros
>>2882685If you got told this is Thailand or China you wouldn’t find it comfy
>>2882586>Instead of strictly separating residential and commercial areas, Japan utilizes a mixed-use approach that allows homes, small shops, and offices to coexistand... this is exactly what 90% of the world doesyet they (usually) do not look like Japanzoning isn't the reason why japanese streets look like they doit is due to a few, very specific regulations that have nothing to do with zoning itselflike no on street parking, no light "rights" from neighboring plots, no underground lines for better repairabilityand of course their shitty, low quality houseswhich only looks acceptable because of the amount of care put into and the young age of the housing stockagain nothing to do with zoningzoning is not sufficient, nor directly responsible for how Japans streets look like
