Thread 518893461

Has anyone noticed this in the US? In the last 5 years they've built a fuck ton of these fake mini-brooklyns in random suburbs or as re-development of dilapidated urban land. 10 years ago it would have been cheap fake luxury apartments with a couple shops underneath. These new compounds are impressive AF though. Lots of expensive glass on tall steel buildings. Luxury brand stores.
I've noticed they're packed with young residents.
These also typically have those camera/screen tablet buzz in intercoms which I see fucking everywhere now in all of these but which didn't exist just a few years ago.

I have questions
>How the fuck do these young people have money for these overpriced pieces of shit?
>Which (((developer))) sat down and decided this "model" would be a thing now, to the point of building a dozen of them in my area?
>Is this a precursor to a more deliberately stratified urban society? Where the elite pool of up and coming apparatchiks get to live in these places and pretend that their world has culture and history and meaning, but everyone else has to live out in the decay?

>>518893461 (OP)
rich people have kids, this is where they live

>>518893461 (OP)
This one place got my noggin' going. The entire compound is literally a micro urban district with blocks and multiple apartment properties, shopping, but there are only two entrances and both have large gates which look like they close off at night.

There's also a Wegman's here with a massive four level bunker-tier garage that links all the stores and apartments as well. All the utilities are down there.

When the fuck did we decide to build Cheyenne Mountain tier infrastructure to provide a little mixed-use development to some rich yuppies? Something weird is going on here.

And I'll repeat: where the fuck are ALL these people getting ALL this money from? Where are all these jobs that just overflow with cash for these yuppies to live in the most needlessly expensive not-actually-a-rich-person places?

Contemporary Urban is relatively cheap and easy to build, especially regarding financing and city regulations.
The trick is to see where these developments are in another decade. Is the Louis Vitton store still in operation? Are the world's refuse now living there? Time will tell.

Well, if you're among the 20% or fewer young men that actually have girlfriends, especially white girlboss types, your dual income and being a bit housepoor can go a long way.
Even so, you had to have got your career about 10 years ago and hopefully it wasn't tech.

>How the fuck do these young people have money for these overpriced pieces of shit?
They don't. Think of them as "blocking pieces" in chess or like spamming expensive units with high defense in an RTS.

The developers don't care about losing money by building it, because they don't have to prove how much it's worth in year 5, the land itself is going up in value alone and the building on top is just a feint, something to point to in order to "prove" to a bank that there's value there.

>Which (((developer))) sat down and decided this "model" would be a thing now, to the point of building a dozen of them in my area?
doesn't really matter, the pattern is so prevalent that there's probably hundreds if not thousands of these guys doing this

>Is this a precursor to a more deliberately stratified urban society?
yes.

Where the elite pool of up and coming apparatchiks get to live in these places and pretend that their world has culture and history and meaning, but everyone else has to live out in the decay?
also yes, in some places. in others these exist simply because they are the most "dense" and in financespeak, density = higher value. this is of course only on paper because nobody actually wants these or voted for them or think they are aesthetically appealing. but we don't have any money so of course we don't matter.

All of this behavior is a result of the failure to allow banks to be liquidated in 2008. A lot of this land would have been properly revalued all the way back then and none of the current building patterns would be viable based on the underlying land value. You'd have much smaller and/or more useful building because the use value would be properly discovered by the market and reflected in the price.

Reminds me of this YUP-topia near Amsterdam with heavily overpriced houses. Literally, pure calculated, giving developers big fucking laoded pockets

Can literally chose your interior style out of 5 and they "give you an appartment to your taste". Still extremely overpriced

>>518894023
Yes, niggers LOVE these places because they LOVE "feeling rich". They smoke a ton of weed and even bring gangsta shit to these places. Although it's the mostly harmless actually uses birth control nigress types living in these places.

Actually upper middle class people live in exclusive suburbs with smaller homes that were built a long time ago. Except, this class of people is turbo rich now and are rebuilding all the legacy houses either those gaudy new build fake Arts&Crafts or awkward addition of an additional floor (or two) or filling the backyard with house.

>>518893676
Yeah this is DC. Kids there are making $200k+ working for defense, federal gov, or consulting firms

Makes sense but these places claim their units are mostly all full. Everyone between the age of 22-30 who can afford it tries to live in these places.

>>518894329
There are no jobs anymore.
>I have seen lots of pajeets at these places.

>>518893649
No they don’t. These are the apartments of the social climber upstarts from middle class families. Real rich kids have lofts in the UES and houses in Hyannisport.

I do find it interesting how China did the same fucking thing. But with the added corruption they have banks failing and buildings falling over.

Yeah we have TONS of that. That's just how ALL new residential building looks (aside from the ongoing McMansion thing).
>picrel bad example, but some of these apartment style builds are literal mazes on the inside which is another thing I don't understand.

>>518893676
If you really want your mind blown go look at the largest of the Canary Islands on google maps.

Happened in the town I grew up in. The local mall had a mass exodus of people renting storefronts. Eventually it was just anchor stores (like JC Penny) and a few beaners selling Mexican pottery. Eventually the mall closed. A few years later as part of an urban renewal program they turned the mall into the picture you posted. I think one of the anchor stores became a Dick's sporting goods store. I saw one of the apartments and it was decent. What I dont like are all the crappy apartments going up to house illegal aliens. Im from Colorado origimally and the kike faggot governor is fucking ip the state. Thank God Trump won to help counter Polis' iike subversion.

This is the Baltimore version. I think it's pretty empty. Under Armor CEO was trying to fix Baltimore by getting this place built. Almost kind of a nice area by Fell's Point but Baltimore is hard to fix.

>>518894896
Isn't that fucking amazing? It's the same exact bullshit. The same density+"it's nature not city"+shitty angles and colors to make rectangles look not like rectangles but no one is fooled.

What the fuck is this? Why is this everywhere? Is this the smart city model?

The little camera/iPad entry systems all these buildings have and the maze like interior definitely could be converted into a prison/tracking system.

Entire blocks of Richmond va have gone from houses with many porches, the occasional tree, and greenery growing in the cracks to fkn walls of concrete and glass window, totally anonymous of each other, with no personal decoration or anything.

A block goes from teeming with life to entirely DEVOID of it. They’re staged like “ok, a wonderful walking area”, but are total ghost towns, unchanged and unweathered from the day they went up 4 years ago.

These fucking complexes entirely destroy the soul of a town. I had special hatred for the townhome complexes.

I fucking hate this new developmental age we’re in. everything is the same, and nobody knows anyone or anything.

>>518895237
Yeah they still build those shitty apartments too. I even say a housing project that was all fancy like an apartment complex.

What's weird is the rich places are built more like prisons or secure compounds. Is this like a spy the most on the party members, leave the proles to rot sort of thing?

Literally fucking preferred the rundown home fronts of houses built in the 70s to this modern shit. The buttfuckers don’t even consider sunlight and tear everything down to put up a handful of trees and planters on the NORTH SIDE of their fkn 4 story building.

Entire streets doomed to be nothing more than dusty concrete

>>518893461 (OP)
Basically it's the revised version of Le Corbusier's towers in the park concept but with less niggers because it isn't full of subsidized housing. The towers are usually capped around 15 stories because the amount of concrete and steel required to build that high isn't environmentally friendly but still better than suburbs. Ideally the best use of materials and to minimize thermal transfers are 6 story boxes with minimal exterior elements and vertices

>>518895498
It's amazing, no one uses these walkways and parks they build. Except for the fucking poodle owners, two times a day, for 20 minutes each.

I lived in a 90s new urban place once and they put the garages detached with their own alley so that people would use the front door again, since shops were walking distance.
Not fucking with you, but people would LEAVE OUT OF THEIR GARAGE ON FOOT when going places instead of taking the nice walking paths, because they are so mentally buckbroken to think that the garage is the entryway.

But yeah, these new fake luxe apartment megaliths have a strange sterility.

>>518895251
YES! It's on Baltimore but not there. It's closer to the Underarmor. And yeah fixing this dump is a pain. I was able to buy a nice house for cheap during the pandemic but dealing with the local negroes is an experience. Trying to fix it up and sell it to get the fuck out of here.

>>518895251

Where are parkings? Do they have underground?

>>518894285
If losing money already part of the equation, then why don't these developers go all out by building Frazier-tier apartments?

Lol, if only you even knew what you were even talking about.

>>518896256
Then these are unironically mildly good.
I know sterile sjit etc. But they are least mildly eye pleasing, proper fractal design, smaller and smaller elements are visible when you come close so they dont look plain, basics of past ans sometimes forgotten but modernity architecture design. Not too large in size to remain at human scale.
and they are very functional.
Yeah sterile empty streets but that reflects new environment when public space is a danger. So you live in safety behind walls, and leave walls in a car to drive to another "mini castle"

it's just tech guys and young corporate people renting out these places. there's no point in buying because houses are 30 min away and 1M+, and these people know the jobs are all short term anyway. the average tenure at amazon corporate is less than two years. corporations structure their stock programs so the stocks vest after the average tenure, so most employees won't get any stock, by design. not saying it's a good idea to rent at these prices, but there's a market for it.

>>518895402
I dont even know but it looks like a new business model to create the same kinda appartments with a hige lack of creativity but designed to build fast and to "fool the buyee" like its some urban oinda style but its terible. Yes, like all those architects used the same inspo or found out how to do it cheap inspired overseas resulting in homogeneous crap.

>>518897258
His point they are not "old money real rich kids".
These are senior developers who work and live near 2 years on average and then move.

*baltimore is actually very nice

idk why i wrote boston

but yes baltimore is a great city actually. just needs to be reclaimed. the core is actually pretty good already. they need to start from there and make nice neighborhoods outward. fells point and half of canton are very good. federal hill is great. downtown/mt vernon/charles village (penn station, jhu) are also good. but going out of that u have places like harlem park and sowebo which are desolate

A shithole starting at €1.800.000? No honnestly this looks a slightly bit better than they try achieve in other projects but is still tasteless

>>518896256
It’s a mixed-use development. It’s mainly residential with retail on the ground floor and parking for the residents. Most city zoning requires this for any new apartments. You usually can’t just build an apartment building with units only.
Also, remember the only difference between “regular” and “expensive” apartments (besides location) is size of units and level of finishes. The building code minimums require a pretty nice building no matter what.

>>518897485
my "luxury apt" complex had this kind of churn. i lived there 6 years before buying a house. i watched the various demographics shift over time. when olds sold their property, they moved in. when indians flooded the zone, they moved in. when i left, it was a lot of single dog moms and hispanic families - paying 2000 a month in rent.

>>518898212
If non-Whites lived there is it a shithole doesn’t matter what it costs, lmao. Trailer trash in Oklahoma is worth more than the richest non-White that ever existed

Than you can whipe your ass with New York two or every city there in your country

There were perpetual waves of English migration to America even up to around 1850. After that, during the Ellis Island era, Brits would emigrate into Baltimore and skip the swarthy Northeast.

Yes Baltimore was once very very nice.

>>518899059
If you CAN afford more than €1.250.000 for a house only you can live at enough places with 99% whitepeople. I live in one of the biggest cities here and I dont mind them at all. I dont even see them that often meanwhile they are everywhere around you.

Big cities > Villages

>>518899259
Of course it was. White people, aka Americans, lived there. All the problems started with the “Great Migration” after segregation ended in the 60s. It used to be illegal to come to the USA if you weren’t White. Thankfully, we are reinstating those laws. Praise GOD

>>518899259
definitely has potential if they can just push all the niggers into random apartment buildings out in the middle of nowhere in the suburbs. this is what's already happening actually

>>518893461 (OP)
I like how they use urban redevelopment funds to cover a large part of the cost of making life unaffordable for the people who helped pay for it.

They also oust ghetto niggers from their Section 8 rentals to build these, who then migrant into small working-class satellite towns and suburbs on Section 8 vouchers that are worth more than standard rent there.

The blockbusting/gentrification cycle begins anew.

>>518893461 (OP)
Mhm. Is nothing new. Southpark made an episode of that ugly phenomenon (it wasn't only about woke food courts but living too) around ten years ago because the, at that time 5-10 year long bullshit you described. So it's at least 2 decades old dude. But good you got it NOW.

This is how cities are built up in China. The district might be vast with lots of sprawling land perfect for development, yet they will build these mini approximations of Shanghai and all live packed in top of each other. Makes it very convenient when all you have to do is walk outside ti catch a high speed train, buy some dumplings or chat with a QT

>>518893461 (OP)
>How the fuck do these young people have money for these overpriced pieces of shit?
Parents helping with expenses/rent. Usually 1-2k a month or since the gift limit is around 19k annually.
>Which (((developer))) sat down and decided this "model" would be a thing now, to the point of building a dozen of them in my area?
Great question. I think there are a few large developers who take on these big urban high rise projects and they probably hire the same 2-3 architecture firms to design them. It’s likely a combination of certain building materials and construction methods being optimized for price/longevity with as little maintenance as possible.
Chinks or Jeets come out with some new kind of glass or steel or siding and that just dominates the high rise construction projects until their factories start making some other bullshit material at global industrial scale

My town is 99% single family homes. Faggot brigade has been pushing shit in like this for decades and we been fighting it. They are close now but the economy will collapse and save us for another two decades before they can start building.

>>518899879
its quite fun figuring out it ondeed falls in a waterbarrel how it was built in the early days. but even in the old cities they got crazy architecture youd hardly understand and why they built shit that way.

But they wasting land/real estate just by placing the same building blocks. Is this communistic architecture 2.0?

>>518900327
Yeah people need to realize that this is America. You can’t afford to live somewhere then live somewhere else. Huge swaths of this country are fairly cheap and sparsely populated.
>but muh good jobs!
If you had a good job then you would be able to afford to live in the hip trendy coastal city. You don’t so it doesn’t matter. Even with the pay cut living expenses are so much lower that it’s a lateral move at worst

I visit all these places because I do Instacart sometimes. It's an even split between gentry soccer moms and ghetto niggers who can afford twice the groceries of working people (and never tip! and it's dangerous to deliver to them!)

Flats only got a few main entrances. A local government could invest in security over there. Maybe the few not rotten fruits out of the own community. Job opportinity. But its not hard however for a big part they are responsible for this shit. It should be punishable by land and home owners. Like those blacks buy all those homes like real estate. Its the blacks, sure, but also a few other important parties who dont want to keep their own property healthy. Or maybe its owned by blacks as well.

>>518896222
Those towers are made out of cardboard. Just like the houses.

Its the fault of land and home owners at large and local government. They also should have a budget for social housing projects. And that ground what the blacks leave (judging from the fact that st. Louis in this case is a large city) should be worth Millions, Billions. So there also is something wrong with your government and Trump kinda business men.

>>518905592

There is nothing valuable about St.Louis.

>>518906535
There should be new gentrification from areas where houseprices are too high for starters/beginning home owners. Its known that things go different in the housing market there but still. Place those giant concrete shoeboxes in those ghost towns and give them to a new group of homeowners

https://www.brookings.edu/articles/reversing-an-urban-doom-loop-in-st-louis-through-office-to-residential-conversion/

Its just failed urban devopment if a 890,000 population shrinks to one third without new industries and jobs or whatever the cause is (dont even want to know). Americans leaver their city's like ghosttowns

Why is every house and condo some dull and drab grey color?

>>518895681
It has to do with casting shadows. 15 stories high allows sunlight during late spring through early fall to hit the sidewalks. 20 story buildings blot out the sun.

nothing to do with feasibility. if anything it's cheaper to build higher to 40 floors. because you have the truss strength to carry it without modifications that run into extra millions of dollars. Not an Architect Engineer but I read up on it a lot. it's fascinating. the profit point changes dramatically after 40 stories. it drops and so you have to charge premiums for apartments above 40 floors. skyscraper is anything above 470 feet or 150 meters.

i'd make it Retail bottom floor, Office second and third and top two floors is office as well. Office units get a separate elevator than the middle residents.
this is the only way to rent out efficiently

I call them Revitowns.

Because everyone wants to be able to sell their homes not actually live in them and any color or variety might be against someone's taste.

Yes, huge problem here and there is still mass immigration and corrupt hous owners and corporations making the prices rise even higher. This is the full retardation here. Besides Rotterdam there are not much high rise cities. Not with more than 50 above 100m per city so they still rather build horizontally than vertically. We're ruining our counry. They predict (everybody can predict) that in 2045+ almost 75% of the land is build like Singapore or Hong Kong without the high rises ofc. Its beyond retarded. Its because of those heritage fuckers who dont want skylines (well than it comes your way vertically, the worse scenario)'

What this anon said:
>>518908859

These aren't sold as HOMES (even though they call it that) but as temporary hive cells accommodating some employment situation/cycle. They're made to be occupied for limited years then flipped.
Realtors make out like champs--x% on every resale.
In my state (WA) the realtor commission approaches 5%.
Seattle median--MEDIAN--price is $900k.
That's a $40-45k+ commish. Each. And. Every. Resale.
(This is also related to how Asians park their extra cash in real estate then make money reselling to each other.)

The money isn't in housing as housing. It's in building housing, flipping housing, financing housing, etc.
THOSE are the distortions that you never hear people screeching about. The only reason they care that "zoomers aren't buying houses" is that all these leeches on the transaction are missing their tasty bling.

>>518893461 (OP)
lol, they did this with “Ponce City Market”. Turned an old factory into overpriced apartments and shopping.
Lots of yuppies running on the old railroad tracks converted to a walking path, etc. Then a nigger murdered someone taking a walk.
