    I FUCKING LOVE DENSE POPULATIONS WITH NATURE CLOSE spongebob-i-fucking-love

    Bring back the 50s ethos of the complete walkable suburbs. The million programme (showing my Swedish here) is the best period of Swedish architecture actually building habitats. Having a forest 200 meters away from my high density population social housing was the highlight of my childhood.

    I don’t know that putting 100 condos in a beachside flood-zone is actually a good idea in terms of construction, or land-use either, but like, you could maybe make a small cluster of buildings closer to the center of the island to achieve a similar effect.

    Because what would happen is you’d end up with all the land used up with giant apartment complexes and massive overpopulation. You think owners off the land and the developers aren’t going to squeeze as much rent out of every bit of open space as possible?

    This meme shows the end game of suburbs and compres it to just the beginning of a crowded city.

      Yes after the 200 homes are built, we’d built more homes that aren’t needed, which would somehow take up more space than if we did the same with houses, as has been illustrated. Maybe we need a system where we don’t build needless homes in addition to good urban planning.

      Nah your idea of just continuing to fuck shit up is probably better.

    I’d prefer to own a house and get equity out of an investment, paying rent is throwing money into a black hole. At least I’ll see some of that money again when selling the house.
