Why do people say London density is so bad when there are homes with trees only 45min away?
- dharma1 7y agoSuburbs around Central London don't have a super high population density, and are quite green. Many houses have a garden, and there are lots of parks.
- 9HZZRfNlpR 7y agoBecause 1.5 hours is a lot of time out if only 24? Unless you live to work.
- romwell 7y agoHahahahahahaha. (Hello from the Bay Area)

- andrewflnr 7y agoFor a while my commute was 1.5 hours each way. I found it intolerable and moved, but I have coworkers who commute as long or longer. London is starting to sound good.
- hirsin 7y agoEh - I see diminishing returns around smaller public-ish transit (!) commutes. The difference between a 15 minute commute and a 45 minute commute wasn't significant for me. I can still pay bills, answer personal mail, read a book, and talk to friends on my way to work. I imagine folks at the end of the tube line in London feel the same way. Driving that commute though? Never.
- porker 7y agoI don't think I've ever heard anyone say London density is bad. London _sprawl_ is bad, and one problem is how low density London actually is. More density would mean more housing available near the centre.
- avip 7y agoIdk. London has amazing parks. Hampstead Heath being my favorite.
- codeulike 7y agoLondon has a lot of trees actually. It's Europe's most tree covered capital city. It has more trees than people.
