That's a low life comment.

That kind of attitude towards women look actually has the opposite effect on me. It makes me care even less what I wear.

With the rise of the far right the immigration issue will be tackled, they will make sure of that!

The thing is while they mind the dark skinned/ Muslim immigration more, they are not that keen on all immigration, including from other EU countries

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]

I prefer it that nowadays comfort is more important than superficial appearances. 🤔

Same here. Sorry but I love jeans and trainers. I like the fact I can run/ climb/ play with a ball etc. I feel more energetic and go get it.

I do like smarter clothes too but my physical freedom is important to me.

Not to mention not all walks of society dressed that smartly. The images we have is usually based on the upper classes.

creating 15-minute cities under the guise of personal convenience while still maintaining the choice to go wherever you want and whenever you want.

I already did. I lived in a place where none of my schools, doctors etc was further then 15 minutes walk and there was no problem when me and my friends were moving around the country.

The Soviets limited people's movement and choice

There is a difference between stopping people's movement and making sure they have what they need close by (but still not limiting them if they want to go further.

it's only suburb-crazed Americans that freak out at that idea...

And almost all I've seen on You Tube on traveling/ cultural shocks etc are mentioning how lovely it is to have things at a walks distance

Normal in Poland.

I wouldn't say that tiles are common in the 'living' areas. Kitchen, Bathroom, hallway-yes

It's mostly flat

There is nothing wrong with a nice, flat green land. It really doesn't have to be hilly to be pretty.

new law that large car parks have to be covered by them.

That is a good idea

They sometimes put braziers in bus stops in Warsaw on particularly cold days

Can you post a photo of such thing? I'm lost here...

They are for the 27% of people

Correction on the wrong stats posted here:
40% of all the households in Poland are covered by the district heating system.

Is it better to "uglify" the environment but breathe much cleaner air,

It's not only about the prettienes aspects but also like wildlife, less plants and trees, etc

but large commercial operations.

Tbh I'm not too happy about solar farms. I think that is not really ecologically optimal. But I do believe all the city buildings should be plastered with them.

I do know in UK a lot of people sell their electricity from solar to the grid.
Don't know if in Poland it's the same

Edit: Just confirmed you can't do that in Poland

when the topic touches on solar or wind

More cost I would say. Although I see much more solar panels on houses in Poland than in UK ( but that is limited experience so not that reliable)

Polish cities have district heating schemes

That covers 40%.

All coal and wood products dropped.
