Dude I've been to Shanghai and from my pea brained American view it was the cleanest and most well designed city I've perhaps ever seen. You just compared tacky American bullshit made of parking lots and misery to a lovely walkable space with nice architecture. Like you can spit on the worship of consumerism on Huaihai road, yeah that's a problem, but it's at least an area built for human fucking beings to be able to exist outside.
Okay cool well I live in Europe all cities are like this and they're all fucking shit.
So true, I remember when the country of Europe mandated every road be covered in advertisements
Lol what? Your reading comprehension is awful or maybe it was my writing I'm to drunk to go back and read what I said, pretty sure I never said Europe was a country or anything about the roads being full of advertising. All I said is when I looked at the original meme and posted the picture what made them look similar to me was the ubiquity of adverts. Sorry that I share your american grievances.
Anyways lots of European cities look very similar (basically like Paris) at least the cities I live in and have visited always look like Paris I named Berlin and Vienna you can add Prague to that list as well. I don't have money to travel so I can't say what other places look like.
