That happens in the States too between state borders. I secretly think that States put extra effort into the area JUST at the borders to highlight the difference.

It must be quite common where there's not much love is lost between neighbours.

this is brilliant, as a londoner, im saving this

I mean, why would a city/country/district pay for another one when they all have found for those things, but indeed it looks like a statement here

[-] subignition@kbin.social 24 points 2 years ago

I don't think that's unreasonable at all, actually. I'd expect liminal spaces, especially entrances, to get a little more attention to their presentation than other places - everybody knows first impressions are important, right?

And even in between counties. I cross the county line between a well-funded suburban county and a dirt-poor rural county occasionally and the road quality is night and day.

Is 57th good or bad? I'm not really sure how to interpret your comment.

[-] zaph@lemmy.world 34 points 2 years ago

I looked it up and think I found what they were talking about. It appears they are 57th out of 127 at just over 70 million barrels annually (if I'm reading this correctly) with the number 1 spot taken by the US at nearly 15 billion. I think I agree with the other response you got, just a bad faith comment trying to shit talk a country they don't like.

"There are only two things I can't stand in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch!"

I’m not really sure how to interpret your comment.

I am, it's in bad faith.

[-] helixdaunting@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

It's not great, not terrible.

[-] RAPLOC@kbin.social 18 points 2 years ago

"just for show" WRONG! This shows you are full of shit and have never been here.

[-] zoe@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

hope i am wrong 😭😭

[-] mayonaise_met@feddit.nl 3 points 2 years ago

The Netherlands is too small to put effort in one particular area. It's like painting with too big of a brush.

[-] grue@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

If that were true then the street on both sides of the border would be fancy, instead of only the street on one side of it.

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Only if you assume all states are A) doing this and B) doing so with equal effort
