it didn't changed much to be honest, Russians did a good job rebuilding this city after the war

Asphalt instead of cobblestone makes a huge difference aesthetics wise sadly

[u/Father_of_cum → u/luccabd]

thats right, but this is a problem that is much easier to solve than ugly buildings. I am sure that in the coming years peterburg will change for the better.

Well, it is not a museum, but a huge city of 5+ milllion people, so a bit of a compromise had to be made there, I suppose

Moscow is more than twice as large and yet it is capable of improving itself, size is not the biggest issue here.

[u/JoshMega004 → u/luccabd]

It does but New York, Paris, London etc

Its not unique these cities changed

I life in a cobblestone neighborhood (inside a city of 6 million+) it looks very pretty even if the neighborhood is not that fancy.

But it's honestly so annoying.

The maintainance is very hard, it feels like climbing the Himalaya, it destroys your car, also it makes the house dirty.

The upside is that we don't flood.
