Canberra was built because Sydney and Melbourne wouldn't stop fighting over who should be the countries capital. So they just put a pin in the map half way between the two and made it its own separate territory from the two states and said "fine it's here now, neither of you get it".

I was talking about Albany, NY which is the state capital instead of NYC like everyone assumes. The industry there has basically left and theres very little culture to speak of, and it's too far from any nearby cities for a reasonable jaunt. Or so I'm told.

For a funny definition of 'halfway'. It's a planned city, which apparently means it's basically 90% roundabouts, and from above it looks like a giant dartboard with Parliament House in the centre. Got some nice museums and parks, but otherwise it may rival even Adelaide for dullness and questionable reasons to exist. And as a result most 'culture' is avante-garde nonsense mostly expressing a desperate emptiness of a country that never really figured out what to be besides a colonial outpost, though at least Adelaide rolls with it. (I remember a tagline of the Fringe Festival was 'let's put the nonsense back into culture')

Milton Keynes is the UK version of Canberra, but without even the bonus of being the capital

You forgot we have weed, brutalist architecture and prostitution and pretty good coffee too. There's also currently a bikie war on right now. Canberra is a happening place!

I dated a girl that lived in Troy, which is right next to it and basically Albany Lite, and it’s almost impressive how many closed storefronts there are in any given block in either city. The SUNY college in Albany is one of the most depressing places I’ve ever been to, it’s just giant square concrete buildings and looks like a prison.

DC is also a planned city, but it was planned in the early 19th century when cars didn't exist so that's been a problem.

I think that’s how you summon demons. The intersections are totally eldritch glyphs and the Boston accent turns everything you say into a dark incantation.
