Except that urban multi-unit dwelling (apartments, concrete) is far better for the environment than suburban or rural single-unit homes with gardens.

- anonuser123456 8y agoI'm not sure concrete is better than gardens. Is density better than sprawl? Absolutely. But it would be better to integrate nature with density.
- parasubvert 8y agoGardens are fine, integrating nature is fine, and not incompatible with high density / concrete. The issue is the wastefulness and carbon emissions of sprawl, fuel, etc. that are common in less-dense areas. A return to the old-days isn't necessarily good, is all I'm saying... Burning wood for example is worse for the environment than coal or gas. We got away with it in olden times because there were so few people.
