>>1390984>Why should I and everyone else have to live in urban canyons in little crackerbox apartmentsBecause the alternatives are deliberately killing a bunch of people or a bunch of people dying anyway in the social cataclysm coming from overconsumption of resources because people like you are hellbent on burrowing into your own little atomized hellhole.
(Tbf and tbc, almost all urbanites also overconsume resources, but the problems are easier to solve with density.)
>crammed in like sardines No but seriously, why do you need or want a bunch of empty space around you? I've lived some places that felt kind of crammed in, but that's not most NYC apartments.
You need a place for a bed, a place for a desk, storage space. What more do you need private?
And if you look at the average size of human habitation throughout history... motherfucker, your US suburban house is a fucking palace.
>and nothing but concrete and asphalt everywhere you look?Lol, pic related is my fucking yard.
>What give you the idea that everyting being Big Urban City Environment is going to somehow magically solve all the worlds problemsNot magically, but every social and technical problem gets easier to solve with density.
>Pro-tip: it's NOT it'll cause more problemsWhat problems will it cause?
>you're out of line telling anyone else how and where they can live.You're out of line consuming more resources in a year than lots of the world's population consume in the lifetime.
