@UrbanCourtyard this is just DC

It is fun to wonder what the value of office space in downtown Chicago would be like if we had followed Burnham’s vision more closely

@TagoTago0505 @Roninggirl 新幹線もない上就航路線で飛べる国際空港が新千歳＋福岡と超微妙(しかも国際便の乗り換えに間に合うかはわからん) グローバル的には山陰・四国・北陸・東北以上の秘境。

@bungholeitis @Roninggirl 南信民「長野松本など名古屋に比べたらど田舎」

あれ松本駅って新幹線無いんや

@TagoTago0505 @Roninggirl でも東京便がない😨

@Roninggirl そのかわり空港がある。 そのかわり空港がある。 そのかわり空港がある。

@Roninggirl しかも松本空港は羽田便も成田便もないので、海外行くとなると一旦電車で新宿まで出てからの羽田か成田移動。 間に合わない国際便もあるだろうから東京での一泊も入るのかな？ 知らんけど。

@tama12180 立地が酷くはないけど、実は図の通りでロフトだけ隣にあり一旦外出ないとアクセス不可とかだったらウケる。

千葉ならイオンもドンキもヤンキーも 2階建でも2.2万円ぞ あと訴求先どう考えても間違えてんだろ 家賃決めてんのは都じゃなくて大家な

なんでお前ら新宿いんだよ千葉こいよ

@jarjoh it’s also chasing/adding demand where prices are already bubbly. they should be investing/anticipating demand in cheap depressed areas like west/north tokyo that peaked during the bubble. areas are aging out & a lot of infra upgrades were canceled due to cost during the bubble.

@jarjoh it’s also like, the waterfront itself isn’t a big job center. the job + office growth is around tokyo station south towards shinagawa. waterfront access opens up some suburban chain shopping + tourist traps to east side residents i suppose.

I always love this image of Tokyo. The view of Mt. Fuji in the background, the way the lines avoid the Imperial Palace, & how you can see the various subcentres. You might be thinking the network looks kind of small but this doesn't show the dozens of suburban railways, trams...

@doosuickneqq9pQ @tama12180 イオンもドンキも近いとは言ってないから、成田とか東金とかがまだまだ都会に見えてくる様な場所だと思う。

@bungholeitis @tama12180 ＞イオンもドンキもヤンキーも 成田とか東金とか君津とか？ しかも駅からクソ遠い、駅に行っても電車は30分に1本しかないというおまけつきだろ

@DisgracedProp everybody’s gotta eat. there is a sort of unspoken ethos working at a grocery store. putting up & dealing w the lowest & most marginal in society, even the mentally unwell, is just a part of the job. kicking out or banning people is to be avoided until they cross a line.

The under-analyzed third space in America is the waiting/eating areas outside of grocery stores. All grocery stores have them, a sort of aimless series of tables or chairs screwed into the concrete outside the store, from Erewhon all the way down to discount grocery, and if you pay attention you'll notice that these areas are always full of people just hanging around. For example the Mexican discount grocery will have a sleeping cowboy, while the Erewhon will have a black man reading a book in a purple suit. These people stay there for extremely long periods of time and seem to buy nothing from the actual store. Grocery stores emit a strange warmth that weirdos are attracted to

@IrishPatri0t i like how (Wesley) Willis Tower is highlighted in the background for some reason.

Apparently some dude is trying to build a replica of the twin towers in Chicago to house AI data centres and he's legitimately making progress towards it with the city planning board

@S_9D @DotabataGG バックパッカーでも、人と仲良くなりたいならホステルもあるし、現地の方と接したいのなら民泊等も日本では選択肢が豊富なのにね。 オランダ人としては好みと旅スタイルがズレててヘタクソ過ぎですね。

@DotabataGG ポストを拝見しましたが、そのオランダの方が言ってることは意味不明です。 端から見たら、自転車に乗ってふらっとやって来て、ホテル等に泊まらずそこらにテント張ってる挙動不審者ですよ。そんな人と仲良くなりますか？ 自転車やバックパッカー的な旅をしてる人達はなんだか感覚が狂ってる様ですね。

アジアを数年旅しているというオランダ人チャリダーと話した。 「日本はどこでもテントが張れて安全だった。だけど日本人は壁を作って仲良くなれなかった」 まさに誰もが抱いている日本人の印象そのものだった。

@SkyeSharkie @PattyWhacked damn, dropping cold truths here…on second thought i’ve failed in life & at executing the landing no less 😭

@bungholeitis @PattyWhacked Shouldn't you spell that like this, considering your life path?

was this journalist just dropped here from an alien planet? not only have working class retail weirdos been a staple of the US for decades, but they were literally the chosen heroes of 1990s popular media

@jarjoh the N-S section of Koto is great IMO but demand for waterfront access from there is overrated. more necessary is a N-S in Edogawa, along the metro 318 road corridor. in fact a 318 loop line around Tokyo would do wonders for the westside as well, esp w a Haneda detour/thru.

@bungholeitis I think TEX to Tokyo and waterfront is fairly serious. My understanding of the Toyozumi Line is that lower income residents from the shitamachi areas of Koto are pushing for it to get access to the waterfront and address that N-S travel in the ward is via slow buses.

@jarjoh in addition to the yurakucho ext (bc toyosu + shin-kiba isn’t close enough?) there’s a proposal to ext the namboku through shinagawa to the waterfront. AFAIK ext of TEX past tokyo station are much more speculation than rooted in anything concrete but i could be wrong.

@bungholeitis The Rinkai-Tsukuba one or the Yurakucho one?

@UcheSack_ @jarjoh only developers + speculative investors benefit & they’ll build that area up no matter what. growth momentum has shifted to the waterfront & east, leaving western tokyo/tama stagnant. prioritizing waterfront infra worsens already bad tama VS central tokyo inequalities.

@bungholeitis @jarjoh Kachidoki is a 20+ minute walk from Harumi Flag. Also it'll provide a direct link to the big redevelopment of Tsukiji, and direct Tokyo Station to entertainment with Ariake. It's not the most necessary thing ever but it's definitely not a net negative.

@UcheSack_ @jarjoh so what? kachidoki station is right over a bridge, as is toyosu. half those new high-rise dwellers (if the condo is even half occupied) don’t have real jobs with commutes anyway. they live off of passive income or drive to some semi-remote flex consulting/sales job.

@bungholeitis @jarjoh But anyways about the waterfront subway, for example, Harumi Island doesn't have any rail despite now a sizeable and growing population.

@jarjoh for real, the indoctrination starts stupid early & is heavy. those kōban REALLY take community outreach seriously, starting w the kids. needless to say those little shits love to snitch!

@bungholeitis I replaced my nephew's entire Paw Patrol collection with twice as many random toys. No more Chase enforcing law and order. The indoctrination stops with him!

@UcheSack_ @jarjoh no, there are proposals to further extend NB from shinagawa to the waterfront area as well.

@bungholeitis @jarjoh I worded this confusingly but I know you mean the new waterfront line from Tokyo Station
