So much better then. Look at those stylish street lights. The tall building has been allowed to deteriorate. Ok it is unfair to compare buildings with building sites but the only visible improvement is the palm trees.

A real statement of the decline in prosperity of the western world, American infrastructure is in a right state hard to believe it's touted as the last man standing of the western woke dying NATO countries.

Very nice remastered Vid it felt almost recent. The Pic from my post was Huntington Beach looks like the later part of the vid was shot there, Interesting the wells look to be in late state using pump jacks inside the bottom of the derricks surprising so many were left standing. Different attitude during those times that people were happy to live amongst them perhaps they were purchased reasonably cheaply from the oil co's and gave a decent income.

To look at the place today it's hard to believe it ever happened.

I was surprised to find some industry still in the Huntington Beach area. Including this below owned by the California Resources Corporation.

it got proper car brained up, even in the 1950s there was still person activity

from 2014, look at on the left the building had been demolished and turned into... a car park

CAR BRAIN!!

in your 2022 pic they are probably trying to redevelop it into land that isnt a constant money sink, but probably up against shitloads of car brains in local government who are entitled beyond belief and need everything to be parking

this isnt even the worst example, some cities in the US had 70% of land down town dedicated to parking and/or highways by early 2000s, coincidently they are all the biggest shitholes

its directly correlated

im right though, look at the buildings on the left

they got fucking demolished from revenue producing shops, probably several on the block... and turned into a liability that constantly drains money

so when faggots say BUT THE US WAS BUILT FOR CARS!! no, the cities were demolished and turned into massive car parks

now they are looking at the liability and what it's going to cost to maintain them, and those who arent deluded  are realising there is no money left to constantly throw at car parks and highways

the age of the car is OVER!

California was not destroyed by the automobile, it was destroyed by Democrat policies and immigrants

birmingham alabama in 1920s with a population of 150k had a train station with 10 platforms and 90 long distance intercity trains a day, probably 20 tram lines connecting to that station

in the 1960s they demolished the station and it now has a 6 lane highway over the top of it

this is the station in 1960s before demolishing, see all the empty land around it. All demolished buildings so you can park cars there instead, getting ready for proper car braining

the car brains turned it into a wasteland, like they did in detroit and ironically fucked their own industry over

Being right against basement sheep has its value. 

I stealth here and do the opposite of what is suggested. Makes me money.

The most prolific posters like @DurhamBorn do not know the difference between effect and affect, nor that would of could of should of make any sense. 

You simple fuckers think these charlatans who can't spell have any insights 

you are better going to the casino and choosing black or red based on the sequences because math. 

Maybe you are a little sore because unlike many on here you didn’t double your money 2020-present?

In any case, to take the piss out of somebody’s writing simply isn’t cricket. 

Manners maketh the man.

Language is about communication.

Grammar is about snobbery

Well you say that but try writing code. If you decide well I can't bother with the semi-colon the compiler's grammar rules will just kick it all out.

im pretty sure shes soaked in her own piss already, so no need.

I've never hear her speak before either. I have no room to talk as I speak with a horrible Manchester ish accent but she just grates on my ear. Her Noo Yoik accent makes her sound like she runs a downtown bagel shop.

"Yes" and "No". I must admit I 'squirm' a little when I see poor grammar, but I read/think beyond this to the quality of the argument [and evidence] provided....someone can use perfect grammatical syntax, but it doesn't mean what they are saying is worthy/robust.

I left school early never did any exams. By the time I was 17 I was playing in quite a big band 200 people at the gigs, dailysex was something I was pretty good at while my mates were still in thier school uniforms.
