Just spent a few days there and man, talk about living off past beauty. It sure is one of the most beautiful urban environments in the world: the geography, the variety of the architecture, but fuck me, so expensive and just weirdly hostile rules. And I live in London so no stranger to shit costing a lot.
Was there with my wife and child and tried to go to a cool wine bar at like 5pm, told we weren’t allowed in due to licensing laws as the baby was a minor. Nowhere in Europe would even raise an eyebrow at 5pm in a half full bar, it’s not like I was trying to take him to Berghain. Saw barely any parents with kids out, but I guess that makes sense when you look at the rents.
It could be so much more, I hope there can be some sort of will to change.

- anotheruser13 4y agoThe US is stupid about things like this. When I was a kid, my family used to go to bars and the VFW club in rural Minnesota, so we could meet up with our relatives. These were equivalent to community social centers. No harm was done to our little minds.
