    How about apartments for people who want to live in apartments, and houses for people who want to live in houses, and proper civil engineering to limit sprawl?

    Why does it always have to be black or white? There’s a shade of gray here that’s closer to the apartment model, but that would still allow freedom of travel. Public transportation SUCKS ASS. Cars are a central identity to Americans. They are part of our culture. Not having them just means everyone feels like another bee in the hive.

      Because this “high density housing” is code for commie block slave quarters.

      There are places, and I know this is hard for you city dwellers (which translates to “bourgeois” in French FYI) to understand, where there is still nature, there are still forests, the houses are a miniscule proportion of the land area. Its like that basically everywhere else except for where you insist on living and think everyone should live. It’s really pretty, but the downside is that you cannot get by with a busywork job sitting at a desk doing nothing productive all day. I know that’s a deal breaker for most of you. Some of us have the life you wish you were living, or something close to it, no expecting the whole world to bend over backwards to accommodate you required.

        Not true. I’ve lived out in the country and had a WFH job where I sat at a desk and did nothing productive. It was awesome.

        Where people want to and do live

        No one is coming for your ranch/farm/cabin. If you had the life “we wished to live”, you’d be in a dense community with access to local cafes, restaurants, markets, entertainment, and other neighborhoods without needing a car and with a healthy amount of green space as well. We’re specifically, typically talking about population centers.
