Imagine in Manhattan had 10,000 square foot lot single family homes next to Midtown and 3/4 of the city were Towers in a Park. Singapore has the worst design of any major city in the world.

Singapore is a vertical city like NYC, but it seems to have been designed by and for actual humans

The cover and synopsis of Jane Schoenbrun’s (‘I SAW THE TV GLOW’) debut novel ‘PUBLIC ACCESS AFTERWORLD,’ releasing October 27, has been revealed: A mysterious realm on the other side of our screens. A dark force that draws victims into its static. The unlikely hero called to save them and herself from this electric hell. Public Access Afterworld is the profound, binge-all-night, headrush of a novel by the celebrated filmmaker of I Saw the TV Glow “Public Access Afterworld gave me a vertiginous thrill I haven’t encountered since David Mitchell.”—Torrey Peters “Thrilling, heart-wrenching, hilarious, visionary, and so damned smart, this novel is a major work by a major writer.”—Paul Tremblay “I stayed up all night binge-reading.”—SenLinYu Find the receiver. Make it real. At 5:35pm on September 3rd, 1988, Dallas weatherman Ray “Can You Say Sunshine” Davino makes passing reference to Public Access Afterworld during a rambling monologue, right before he puts a gun to his head on live television and pulls the trigger. On June 12th, 2009, David Sawyer and Erin Morrison, two lonely, TV-obsessed suburban teens who might be falling in love, gather in Erin’s basement to watch TV’s analog-to-digital transition. But in the static that follows, Erin witnesses surreal broadcasts from a pirate TV network called Public Access Afterworld and their lives are changed forever. Seventeen years later, Bethany Peters toils through the night shift at megacorp GlobalVill’s bleak Austin campus. A trans content moderator, she spends her evenings reviewing an endless stream of horrific videos. But then a young streamer begins to crop up in her feed calling out to Public Access Afterworld. But what is Public Access Afterworld? Spanning decades and realities, with an unforgettable ensemble of outcasts and nerds, especially the messy but wholly relatable Bethany who must overcome paranoia and self-doubt to transform into a hero of our times, Public Access Afterworld will have you reading through the night and rooting for its characters to survive. A mesmerizing mashup of speculative fiction, horror, and conspiracy, it marks the arrival of a major new force in contemporary fiction by a groundbreaking filmmaker who’s been compared to David Lynch and Paul Thomas Anderson.

@HowEPhil it’s interesting because at the same time, the Netherlands housing crisis is worse than most other countries, sort of due in part to the open fields
English
I’ll add- Dutch cities seemingly going berserk on new construction, seemingly building out multiple new *neighborhoods*, not just new buildings.
US cities largely dormant in comparison, a smaller handful of projects in each city.
Eric Phillips@HowEPhil
The amount of nature & open fields I’ve seen over the past few days when traveling between Dutch cities is refreshing. USA wishes it had such agriculture and open space nearby for respite, yet continues to consume despite tangible impacts.

greep i love you but you’ve done loads of ironic bits across your career and that’s sometimes #ok
The Greep@GeordieGreep
Irony - as in incorporating things you think are actually shit into your own high art or life with a knowing wink (and even if, when called out, you say “no I actually think that is brilliant, the height of expression” etc.), is a cancerous, dangerous, boring and useless trait.

Men used to go to war, now all they do is take peptides & lie.

that one guy who posts atlanta real estate news but is actually stupid 💔

@cbenderatl @Margaritaville receipts??? or are you just mad he blocked you

He acts like it is Ponce City f'en Market.
He was part of that crew along with @ThreasATL I called "The Urban Nerd Herd." They tried to stop the @Margaritaville hotel from being built because the shack they tore down was the first country song was...continued

I can't believe people Like Eric Phillips believes a data center will ruin the character of the neighborhood. Since when is an industrial area called a neighborhood regardless of whether the @AtlantaBeltline passes it or not?
Stop Atlanta NIMBYs—not that Eric lives there.
Chris Bender@cbenderatl
I can't reply to Eric because he blocked me. However, I completely disagree. This is an industrial part of Adair Park and the developer is going to clean up the toxic waste at their expense. Not to mention, they are going to make a $500 Million dollar investment....continued

@cbenderatl @braddewhat @AtlantaBeltline it’s not the worst proposal ever but there’s pretty big trade offs if you’re approaching it from an urbanist perspective, like Eric comes from and it’s a moot point because local opposition is understandably high
English
@cbenderatl @braddewhat @AtlantaBeltline we are foregoing MAYBE a lot of money if the developer + data center boom doesn’t fall through because a developable spot in a changing neighborhood in a highly attractive location is being pushed as a basically dead zone + 2 retail spaces
English
@Tradakin @burgeoisiee i understand why they’re that way for gameplay flow + technical limitations but it makes it hard for it to feel immersive

@fallingoffaroof @burgeoisiee Are you ball busting or is this an actual gripe you have?
