>>1698776>prefer living in a city and having access to restauraunts, stores, community events, transit, etc, and I know many, many people doNo ones stopping you from going to live in a city anon. If you’ve never done it, you really should, so you can see the reality about what you idealize, and get rid of some of the rose colored glasses you have about urban life. A lost of the people living in the city don’t even want to live there but have to.
>it's not sustainable for every person to live in a single family home with a car, it just doesn't work, people can only do it because so many others don'tI agree with you here. It’s an insanely beautiful fluke that in America people can have their own houses and their own cars for relatively cheap, and we’re insanely lucky that we have that option, because so many people in other countries don’t.
I disagree that it’s impossible to make that lifestyle sustainable. I think it could easily be sustainable, single family homes with solar roofs charging electric cars, so much more promising stuff on the horizon. You wanna see unsustainable? Look at the growth of Shanghai over the last 40 years.
