This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

They look depressing and I hate being around them. A city should be a nice place to live, not a playground for architects' experiments
I love being around them. Visiting Tokyo right now and there are so many gorgeous concrete buildings.
The last thing I'd want is to live in a city that was so stuck in the past that all buildings look 100 years old.
Give me buildings from the 2020s not the 1920s. Give me sleek and light concrete, metal and glass.
Death to brick and wrought iron.
Huh…my preferences are literally the opposite of yours. History FTW!
Damn. I rather like the interwar style of architecture: pretty lines and compelling nuances and decorations. Something to distract myself with as opposed to brutalist architecture.
Brutalism is beautiful in its simplicity and honesty. Combine that with some green and it's a 10/10 to me.
Give me a verdant bunker any day.
A city should be a place for people to live, not some artsy space for real-estate developers to inflate living costs.
Have your artsy architecture projects, but also have functional buildings too please
