@RishiRamaraju@neilblock@loud_socialist How does preventing the development of tokyos in the the US help those who wish to live in suburbs? Don't poor quality cities increase demand for suburban space?
@LetCounty@loud_socialist Some people dont like growth and maybe even the wealth that comes from it. Some people like to complain. I want to see people make choices that lead to better living conditions. I think building skyscrapers where there's demand for it fit with this logic.
@LetCounty@loud_socialist Depends on where in the south/west, doesn't it? But building up seems to have a number of efficiency gains over suburbanization. Why shouldn't people be entitled to simply pay developers to build in places where they want to live?
@LetCounty@loud_socialist Won't it be a strain on resources to have people widely dispersed? Isn't there any economy of scale that comes with increased population density?
