OP just discovered that European cities are older than American cities but wasn't smart enough to realize it.

This is like 20 minutes from me in... America! First one of many that came to mind. Keep circle jerking though.

I don't get it. are we supposed to be appalled?

I like the trees, though!

Is smoking allowed? That's what unfortunately keeps ruining my summer outdoor dinners.

A European country with a outdoor space? Id be surprised if it werent

I had dinner at a place that looked almost exactly like this in New Orleans

[–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

I've been to half a dozen restaurants that had outdoor seating just like this in America. It's no big deal, can be nice if the weather is suitable.

privatization and gentrification on public space that pushes out residents of their own places .

Now all I can think of is a cop car just smashing through that alley, like every chase scene in the 80’s

Chasing a brown kid that was smoking a joint probably. The kid was later filled with 38 bulltes. The police officer is a hero

Self inflicted

In his back

That cop feared for his life! So brave!

Thank you for your service.

In the U.S. you can rape children (and adults) and be the president. So I don't think there's much value in comparing things to their legal status in the U.S.

Technically those buildings are only three stories. I have no idea the floor plan, but three deckers with one stairway are definitely allowed. It’s just bigger buildings that need the second stairway
