European architecture is archaic. I don’t care about the brick work on 4 story buildings.
If you live in a city of millions of people and you don’t have a modern skyline, you may as well live in a shitty village.
Barcelona was one of the worst looking cities I’ve ever visited. It has the same greater metro population of Atlanta and which looks better?
Atlanta could be beautiful too. An overpass here, a brick building there, and soon enough she would be great again.
