That’s way more than the population of the whole town I live in.
There’s a good chance that apartment building has easy to find organized unit numbers that pizza delivery guy can understand. Building may even have multiple front entrances each with distinct addresses.
Once saw a (German) documentary about this building. They have drop-off places on the ground floor where delivery drivers leave their goods in locked boxes. Payment and and locking/unlocking of the box is done digitally through phone.
P.S.: This one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgVXPEORuA0
The luxury floors should have automated dumbwaiters, so there’s a little rectangle in the wall that’s basically a primitive replicator. Trash leaves through the same chute.
Mmm. I love me some trash soup on my pizza boxes. Brings out the familiar aroma
The pizza guy very likely lives in the building too.
Pizza Hut makes a deal with the government to put all the pepperoni customers on the same floors, veggie people on other floors, etc. The lava cake freaks… there’s a special floor for them.
Yeah, I’ve delivered pizza in a city of over 100k people. The whole idea of an address is to figure out where the destination is down to the personal residence. Doesn’t matter if the people are spread out in a single building or many buildings.
I didn’t go knocking on every door any time someone ordered pizza to an apartment. Biggest concern about apartments were if they had a buzzer, if that buzzer worked, and if the code matched the unit number or would be easy to figure out based on the information provided. And if it wasn’t, their phone number was part of the information provided.
You are all absolutely smothering the joke, lol
This wouldn’t be necessary if everyone used the proper peer review process before publishing their jokes!!
THIS is the peer review process.
The type of reply I was hoping for 😄 good stuff bud ❤️
Why do such monolithic buildings give me such hell-on-earth vibes?
Because that’s exactly what we’ve created.
It’s a matter of perspective and use — high density one place means you can have open space somewhere else, for a given amount of land.
I’d much prefer a few large dense housing complexes, surrounded by green space, than suburban sprawl.
I’d also prefer something denser than suburban sprawl, but I think there’s a balance point between that and what the post is showing.
I think that 3-5 story apartments with shops underneath are the best ones, because they aren’t too dense while also not wasting space.
Until your neighbor starts up with the gimp suit and webcam show again…
How neat is that!?
That’s pretty neat!
Arcolgies can be a cool idea though if done right. Granted it hasn’t been done given the amount of resources, planning, logistics, etc required. Still, cool idea.
i too played simcity
Should look up this place called Arcosanti. An interesting ongoing project, decades in the making.
I have in-laws living in China, and honestly - it’s a lot easier to navigate those sorts of high rises than you might think.
Most residential buildings I’ve visited have lots of dedicated lifts, so only 2 apartments per floor share one lift. So you would only need to provide something like: Tower 37, Floor 19, Apartment 2.
The Chinese love their delivery apps, too - their drivers (technically scooter riders) are very used to this.
Now the city of Chongqing is a whole seperate matter, that place is an M. C. Escher drawing in real life!
Hey you’re thatKamGuy!
Any apartment building that size should have a couple floors of retail, especially food - they would make a fortune. If I lived there I would illegally sell teriyaki or something out of my apartment. Better still, run it like a street drug business - pay cooks and delivery people, and have distributors in between - they alone know where the kitchens are. Eventually it’s the chicken fingers episode of Community.
Costco recently opened a location in California that is also a high rise apartment building
Imagine, rotisserie chicken every day
Are you trying to make me hate my life? Man…
Welcome to Costco, we love you!
Until you realize that every other neighbor does the same, there’s a price war going on, the sole supplier of a key ingredient leverages their monopoly, and the good cooks are bribing the delivery people to cut you out of the loop.
That’s when you call Mr. Wolf.
Homo homini lupus.
Apparently it does have amenities like shops, foodcourt, barber, and other stuff.
Probably not that man for the food deliverer. High density implies having more than 1 order and there are likely many entrances and building numbers.
I would be surprised if there weren’t several shops dedicated to the building.
Probably a whole mall on the lower floors and vending machines amd shid
Right? I’m mass texting my deliveries “hey I’m out front with about 12 other orders. If you need it delivered to your door here it’ll be a few extra minutes. I’ll head into the building to complete any remaining deliveries at [time]”
We’ve heard about car brain, this is its cousin, detached house brain.
Tall, wide, building, scary!! OoooOoOooOoOoh
If you think about it elevators are just vertical trains
passes blunt
I mean it’s absolutely nuts how many people this building holds. I’m guessing that the majority of towns across the majority of the US land area have populations smaller than this one building. Probably likewise throughout most of Europe. The population density of this building is crazy. 115/km^2 (apparently the building is 260km^2)
Your math is wrong. 260km^2 would mean 10 miles long and 10 miles wide.
Unless you count floor space, but that’s not how population density is measured.And even then, 115/km^2 means every person would have 2 football fields of space.
A bit defensive there…. It’s quite literally a harmless meme
Also, how does this have anything to do with house brain? Most hotels and apartment buildings don’t even come close to the sizes of some of these massive ones in China.
If I search the name, half the articles say 20k, other half 30k. Honestly, I have serious doubts about both figures…
I think the capacity is 30k, but 20k people currently live there
I wouldn’t be surprised if the numbers were off by an order of magnitude. 1500 units with on average 2 people works out to 3000. Looking at the pictures, that feels like a more realistic number.
That’s about 50 units per floor. Which does seem a bit low from looking at the pic. But 1000 per floor (to give you the 30k) seems way too high, unless the units are the size of broom closets.
30 thousand people used to live here.
Now it’s a ghost town.
So this is what Cyberpunk 2077 based its apartment complexes on
This might be better than most apartments I’ve lived in tbh, so it might work if looking out of the window and having the inescapable trap of modern life hit you in the face isn’t a deal breaker for you
It all looks so short, like are the ceilings really low or is the camera just being held by a giant?
For a moment I thought the washing machine was outside on the balcony in picture 6!
| Total Buildings | 2 | | --------------- | ----- | | Total units | 1540 | | Total partings | 2046 |
I saw the same thing. That’s almost 20 people per unit.
Is that a refrigerator in the living room, and a tv over the stove?
It’s called an open floor plan.
I imagine with that many people there are restaurants and services within.
I found some apartments in that building advertised on some random website for immigrants and those don’t look half bad.
For your consideration;

The lack of quality would be hilarious if if wasn’t so fucking dangerous for people.
I am the pizza delivery boy.
Unfortunately he is tied up at Peach Trees, trying to deliver justice to Ma-Ma.

Enjoy your pizza all scrambled and your soda is gonna go through nuclear fission 💥
Oh yes, the LHC: Large Hotdog Collider.
Am I the only one who worries first about trash collection day than pizza delivery (wildly unpopular in China btw)?
I’d assume the building has a trash collection chute. My old apartment building had one.
I think they have collection centres (within the building), chutes were more of an American thing (“don’t think about the trash” mentality).
Definitely not just an American thing.
Nah, they were where I live. Now they are closed due to sanitary concerns or something. In old, post soviet building I lived they removed chutes and turned bottom level (where the big trash containers were) into expanded lift, so disabled people could ride all the way to ground level.
I was more thinking about the day they take the containers out, and the trucks rotation. If they do it once a week, imagine the smell and how many trucks they need…
And if they don’t, I’m sure that they’d have pickup schedules like any town would.
