The sewage pipe at the bottom must be ginormous
Sewage? …pipe?
Got nothing on Kowloon. That was a marvel. Scary, probably deadly, but a marvel nonetheless.
One single letter box.
If you can put a city in one building that beats driving in snow
I want to see dead malls turned into mini cities.
Oh my sweet fuck yes this is exactly what I had in mind.
You can also just build trains

They have lockers to drop off stuff.
It’s Peach Trees in real life.
China: Bulldozes Kowloon Walled City
Also China:
Delivery guy was there.
We have builds like this, but not as big in Taiwan. They almost always have an area downstairs that the food is placed so people can come down and get it.
I imagine they also have the same thing in China.
D’you place the order before or after heading downstairs?
If I lived on the top floor I would place the order from the comfort of my home then immediately start walking down stairs and by the time I got there the order will have probably arrived.
stairs
Everyday is leg day!
Stairs are normal to me. Far be it for me to interfere with anyone else’s feeble worldview.
Hey man I love stairs! But for, say, 20+, that’s pretty significant
E: floor 20+ I mean
Yeah, man. Stairs were the shit. But once I turned 20, I knew it was just too much. Not a sustainable lifestyle anymore…
Lol, exactly what led me to make the edit/addition there
Three days later
I order first, then wait until the UberEATS or food panda person says they are close and take the elevator down to get it. Usually I take down my trash at the same time since the trash area is close to the main area.
They probably have a number of diverse food kitchens in there, and would most likely “buy local”, anyway. That building being basically a slum, I doubt that there is much delivery from the outside.
Betcha the delivery guy delivers for one or more from many takeout food spots that are probably located inside the building itself.
Imagine the parking required if this were in the states
I long for mixed used housing without an automobile parking requirement in an area with ubiquitous mass transit.
Certain areas of NYC is what you want. Expensive though. I lived a block from a 15 minute train ride to work at one point. Every type of food you could want within 15 minute walk. Bus up the block took you to Costco.
Maybe you could make part of the rent A. First floor car rental place. Mass transit for everyday stuff and maybe a thousand cars for immediate rental for people that need to do strange things. Include box trucks pickups, yada, yada.
probably half of Texas
The building would probably extend like eight football fields underground
eight football fields
How much is that in recumbent giraffes?
This is dumb. You can’t let delivery guys/gals up into the hallways unaccompaioned in an apartment building this size. You have to go down to the front door
Just do what my delivery drivers do. Leave it at the main entrance and mark it delivered.
I don’t trust China after their tofu-dreg reputation. I’m sure this building is structurally sound but I just don’t trust living in it.
