Fuck it, build whatever to want!

I swear Santa Fe looks like a Cities Skylines save in which assets never got managed.

Those first few look like they’ve already suffered earthquake damage tbh.

Believe it or not they were designed to look broken.... I suspect it’s the same ideology as ripped jeans.

Better than a generic glass box, to my mind at least. Architectural variety is a good thing. They aren’t all winners, but better than having every building be the same.

I figured - we have a few buildings like picture #3 in Chicago, but I’ve never seen anything like picture #2. Sort of amusing, in a way, I guess?

What if I told you they

A. don’t have a water supply, trucks need to bring it everyday
B. they sit on a 4 lane avenue without significant public transport infrastructure
C. I don’t know... I like the design.. but it reminds me of my early Cities Skylines builds

I’d tell you to start a water transportation company and make money off these fools.

One to the left is by Zaha Hadid.

The one to the right looks like it was designed in 5 minutes in Solid Works

Can’t make subways to Santa Fe; really shitty ground, it’d have to be really deep. They’re making a suburban train and I suspect they’ll start sending BRTs here eventually.

Wait what. Is this for real? How do trucks bring enough water for entire skyscrapers? How is that even legal?

At least they don’t all look exactly the same

I remember looking at these and thinking I’d probably wander into the wrong building a lot. There were actually 8 or 9 like this. All the same.

There’s like a water mafia and everything, it’s really weird. Water mafia seems like the worst aquaman comic book.


Anyhow, water (and lack if it) was the primary theme of the debate on Monday. So was unchecked development and gentrification.

And transport.... This image embodies all the problems with Mexico city according to the candidates.

Even for private residences; parts of the city don’t have public water service... It’s probably illegal but if they piss off these fancy owners politicians would be expected to answer why there isn’t water in Santa Fe.... and they don’t want that.

They need to build a wall to keep those Mexicans from moving into parts of Mexico City!!

And Guadalajara, and Puebla, and Monterrey.

We are rapidly becoming urban.... Not for nothing do I live in a metropolitan area with enviromental planning for 32 million people, it’s called CaMME

You mean because they basically built a gigantic air defuser?

This jumbled pseudo-edgy look is also popular among the wannabe-hip nouveau riche/trust fund-money launderer/techie set and wannabe design gurus (often the same thing)here. Some of the weird piles built within 15 minutes of where I live make me shake my head. These are like the Toyolex design school of architecture - bizarre designs of questionable aesthetic that influence the rest of the sycophant community.

The Santa Fe Zedec fund is quite complex, and it is the latest in Mexican superdeveloping, in which you could include Tlatelolco and Ciudad Satelite, though those were mostly for middle class development.


Anyhow, I think Santa Fe had a lot of potential to become a good business district but then most of the new development looks, as you say, wannabie.

i mean, I’m having breakfast in a a park next to those buildings and it has public police, private security, and private police (PBI; Bank and Industry Police)

I wonder if that is “middle class” like some of the “middle class” high rise condo developments here where the mortgage to average income ratio is well over 10:1.

When you need 3 types of police, something is wrong, either in the society, or paranoid neighbors.

Tlatelolco and Ciudad Satelite were great ideas that were not carried out well, and today they live on as a mess of concrete but do serve their original purpose of affordable housing for the masses.

I think that tlatelolco was actually rent controled, but I can’t remember.

When it comes to housing, gentrification is just starting right now, our past is actually reasonable with that respect.... except for everything that has happened in Iztapalapa and the metro area, but that’s a topic for another time

Something something decades of delays because yay city planning

https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/transportation/2018/04/19/finch-lrt-delayed-another-year.html

Though at this point the majority of LRT projects up here are delayed

The concept of affordable regulated housing for the masses is alien to me - that’s not how we roll in west coast Murkan cities.

The US is socialist, in reverse, the many subsidize the few, privatize profits and socialize losses.
