There really aren't. The fact of the matter is that NYC is a nice place to live (typing this from Brooklyn) and it's 1000x SF's density.
The world produces a caloric surplus (based on a 2k calorie diet) per capita. We're not overpopulated.
What you're saying is that you want your in demand area to remain exclusive and separate.
It's not overpopulation: it's self interest. Preservation of something you cherish.
Which is the textbook definition of NIMBY ideals.
It's selfish to stand in the way of progress simply because you like the unfair status quo.
- foobiekr 7y agoThe current caloric surplus and population is largely supported by a truly outstanding amounts of petrochemicals being used since the start of the "green" revolution.
- Johnny555 7y agoIt's not 1000X. NYC's population density is 27,000 people per sq mile, SF is 18,000. The entire NY MSA has a density of 1700/sq mi, compared to 1100 for the SF MSA. If you look only at Brooklyn, it has a density of 36,000/sq mi. Worldwide, Manila has the highest density, at 100,000/sq mi
