As a European. Ouch. It's not like there's no economic activity in Europe so I wonder why that is? We don't like verticality?

- ptaipale 9y agoYes. We don't like verticality. That is actually true in much of Europe. One reason for this comes from geography: Europe is further away from the equator than most other prosperous areas, e.g. US or China. This means that the sun shines diagonally and is particularly low in the winter. And if you build high towers, the neighbours will be deprived of direct sunlight. Due to daylight norms, high buildings don't actually achieve any higher density.
