Why are all the nice places getting so insanely expensive? Why not make more nice places? It's no coincidence that the nicest places were built before cars became dominant. If you want your place to be valuable, build for people and not for cars.

Because, over the last century, the non-liquid surface area of the planet remained roughly constant while the human population tripled. And that happened because some incredible portion of the humans believes that birth control is wrong.

- paulddraper 10y ago> some incredible portion of the humans believes that birth control is wrong. Hardly incredible. Do you believe ending human live is wrong? What about not starting human life? What's the difference in terms of economic utility? See, now we're getting into a moral issue that has gut feelings and beliefs and upbringings.
