City Aesthetics @cityaesthetics.bsky.social · 21/04/2025Now this is a great residential neighborhood. It shouldn’t be so difficult to build something like this is the US. 091
City Aesthetics @cityaesthetics.bsky.social · 15/04/2025Crazy… This design was just one lane away from solving traffic. 141

City Aesthetics @cityaesthetics.bsky.social · 09/04/2025Imagine being in debt for 30 years to live in a house that looks like this. 020
City Aesthetics @cityaesthetics.bsky.social · 08/04/2025This is Manhattan in 1882 We’re fortunate that single-family zoning didn’t exist back then, allowing them to build the great city of New York. 220
City Aesthetics @cityaesthetics.bsky.social · 04/04/2025The cars take up way more space… And carry way less people. 120
City Aesthetics @cityaesthetics.bsky.social · 02/04/2025The materials, the scale, the narrow roads, the focus on walkability, we had it all. The abundance movement should look to the past to take inspiration. 050
City Aesthetics @cityaesthetics.bsky.social · 27/03/2025Hear me out… Neon signs are great and beautiful and really add something special to a night street. My time in China and traveling around to Japan, really opened my eyes to this aesthetic. 021
City Aesthetics @cityaesthetics.bsky.social · 26/03/2025I love Chicago, but part of me wishes Burnham’s 1906 plan for the city came true. Truly would be the Paris on the prairie. 010
City Aesthetics @cityaesthetics.bsky.social · 25/03/2025A common house type being built today: A common house type that used to be built back in the day: Are people starting to notice this massive drop in quality? 020

City Aesthetics @cityaesthetics.bsky.social · 26/02/2025I can’t believe the U.S. perfected the Main Street shopping district… and then suddenly stopped building them. 020
City Aesthetics @cityaesthetics.bsky.social · 22/02/2025This just perfectly sums up how car centric places work. When the turning radius of a car literally determines the size of this school, we have a problem… 031

City Aesthetics @cityaesthetics.bsky.social · 20/02/2025Hot take: I will never understand people that constantly order food delivery. DoorDash, uber eats, etc. is a great way for lazy people to drain their bank accounts 010
City Aesthetics @cityaesthetics.bsky.social · 19/02/2025People would be much healthier if they spent at least an hour walking per day. Neighborhoods should be designed to accommodate that. 1149
