welcome to costco I love you
Yes, that's why I found the real link. I meant no offense.
I think the only way you could ever convince me to live in the downtown of a major city is if I never had to walk beyond my city block or even leave the building. So from that standpoint this is preferable to having to drive or take an hour-long bus ride to go shopping.
They would have to give me an amazing deal on rent as well. It's bad enough living in an apartment at all, never mind downtown. I'm actually considering RV living to get away from the niggers next door and the music they blast at 2 AM.
The Guilded Age is back, complete with Company Towns. Woo hoo.
Corporate socialism was always the goal.
Shadowrun/Cyberpunk (og) were right. Arcologies are on the way. Corporations are gonna have standing forces and fight each other. Most city people will be forced to move to an even more miserable existence, as DAs, legislators, executives, do everything they can to increase crime and lower property values so they can snatch it all up for their corporate masters. Eventually each mega city will be owned by a single corporation, with rivals, and 'nations' having to rent corporate embassies.
I, for one, welcome Mr Lee's Greater Hong Kong
I hope the CEO dragons reveal themselves soon.
Which will be more terrifying, BlackRock's or Tencent's?
Seattle calls the major businesses the empires. You can tell who runs what based on the architecture.
I still masochistically love Shadowrun.
Shadowrun 2E was so good, I have put up with a lot of shit editions since. Now I'm just hunting down a set of old books. I'll find local ppl who will do 2E.
You graduated from Costco? Yeah I know, I can't believe it either, luckily my dad was a graduate there.
A friend briefly lived in an apartment building above a grocery store. The apartment itself was shit, but it was nice to never have to worry about a missing ingredient when deciding to cook something.
Yeah, I've had other folks tell me this. I only saw it at Uwajimaya in Seattle.
