Max Dubler 🏳️‍🌈 on Mythryl: “Burnside is a very cool skatepark with the worst locals on earth.”

There is a worldwide network of unauthorized skateparks built underneath highway overpasses because these urban spaces are so polluted and unpleasant that city governments tolerate unpermitted construction that displaces drug dealers and other criminal behavior.

I don’t think city planners and architects understand cities at all if they can illustrate this type of graphic without asking the question of why that space isn’t used? Freeways are loud, unpleasant gashes in cities and the only way to create this level of vibrancy is to remove them

Burnside is so cool! Never been to FDR or Southbank (on my skate travel list though.)
