In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let’s try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:
No parking
Single-stair buildings
A street width most fire departments wouldn’t allow
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
Charming? What's charming about eating in an alley?
Now all I can think of is a cop car just smashing through that alley, like every chase scene in the 80’s
I thought those were socks on clothes lines haha
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.
I personally wouldn't call it charming.
Crowded. Small. Blocking the pavement. Inside concrete jungle. Hot as fuck.
I ate at a place in Pasadena that was similarly laid out and it was great.
Name drop plz!
Pretty much everywhere on Colorado Blvd (Route 66) is like that when you get towards downtown. Any Asian restaurant you pick will probably be fucking lit due to its proximity to the San Gabriel Valley (largest Asian population in the US).
It would be illegal to build anywhere in Europe today as well. This is medieval street. Modern stuff isn't built to be cozy. Even 19th century avenues were planned in a way that you could charge with calvary at the unruly masses.
That said, modern developments often do have nice outdoors as well but its usually more in the open.
