Not what the meme implies but yes. I went to a place in Akihabara that was mostly just one dude at a counter grilling and smoking food. He didn’t speak English so the nice Singaporean gentleman next to me was translating for us. It was a great meal

The tiny hole in the wall places that Japan’s zoning laws permit are soooo cool. Like 4 chairs in the whole place and 2 are reserved for regulars. They’re like studio apartments, but it’s a restaurant.

Post american revolution v2, I’d love to see our zoning laws disappear to make way for things like this

If the US got rid of zoning laws our cities wouldn’t look like Tokyo, they’d look like Dallas. And believe me, one Dallas is more than enough.

…dallas has zoning, houston does not: contrast the two cities…

Oh damn, you’re right, I mean Houston!

…well everything folks have lamented about dallas is still true, but it’s not the result of unregulated development…

Never been to Dallas, what about it?

I think the only rule they had when “planning” Dallas was “there are no rules”. Zero zoning rules means one giant skyscraper in the middle of a mile of strip malls, multiple city “centers”, vast areas of it are competely unwalkable due to lack of sidewalks and/or what are basically highways running through them, and no mass transit to speak of. It’s like they took 5 shitty, small cities and glued them together with more shitty city material.

I’m in Dallas and it fucking sucks, tons of suburban sprawl, tons of roads but public transit is barely functional and hard to design efficiently, a lot of the roads don’t even have sidewalks or they just randomly end, the roads are designed in a way that promotes aggressive driving making it even more dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians, the local business scene here is depressing outside of restaurants and entertainment but there’s like 20 Walmarts.

If there’s an image, it doesn’t load for me

The chef was screwing a FOB white girl so he’s honorary American, not authentic Japanese.

Gotta ask these things up front, “no pork” and “are you or have you ever screw an FOB”?

Otherwise it’s not authentic Kobe beef from a Sannomiya station cow. JR not hanshin and definitely not Hankyu.

(in a low suspicious voice cuz never discussed in loud voice) Or that local subway that goes who knows where

Funny memes. No politics.

Rules:

Post memes.
They shouldn’t be political. Basically, memes here should appeal to people regardless of their political views.
Be nice.
