    There’s no reason to reply to you at all if you can’t read dude. This starts with “we can’t house then where they are because capitalism” but this is the fucking point. You can’t house then where they are no matter, literally because of square footage. Public transit and house. Calm your tits and learn to read.

        Well that’s not what you said. It’s not unreasonable except for the fact that you just eliminated all the green spaces from an otherwise concrete jungle. I could be persuaded anyway, but it’s a not insignificant downside.

          Ok I actually feel bad now. I’m being sarcastic. Build more houses in cities, and people can live in those houses, just like the people in those cities that already have houses. People use transportation to move around inside of cities.

              No need, I was objectively being an asshole for most of it. I’m a leftist, and I want to live in a world where people are put above profit and cooperation is more important than competition. I want to live in an egalitarian society not a stratified hierarchy. I’m extremely frustrated not just by how far from that we are, but how much further we constantly get.

              I took my frustrations out on you as if you were being malicious
