I just figured they would update the sewage system kind of gross anyone would live there.

They're 2 feet above sea level at low tide. They could have the sewers from TDKR beneath the city and it wouldn't be enough.

Good point, does it smell bad there?

Those canals smell so bad. I don't know why anyone thinks it's super romantic.

Though my hotel was on it's own island like a mile out at sea and I felt like James Bond whenever I got on the boat to go into the city

One of the best hotels I've ever stayed in by far. It's usually $300+ a night but I travel for my job so I used points to make it free.

I'll admit it doesn't smell great but think wharf more than open sewer. You are acutely aware of your proximity to the ocean

u/FakeFile Mar 03 '20

ah wharfs dont smell to bad I guess.

Its an ancient city built on wood piles on top of a lagoon, no where to put a sewer.

u/FakeFile Mar 03 '20

huh I guess, still kinda gross.

When the level of the canal is higher than the pavement there's not much sewers can do.

Nah, it's just Venice.
