I really dislike the notion of clearing more land and putting up more cookie cutter houses and apartments for the sake of saturating the housing market in order

I really dislike the notion of clearing more land and putting up more cookie cutter houses and apartments for the sake of saturating the housing market in order to get people to rent for reasonable prices.
- mixmastamyk 7y agoDensity is preferred, ie clearing parking lots downtown, not open spaces in the country.
- xvector 7y agoI really dislike the fact that I’d have to save for decades just to afford a decent house in California. The land isn’t doing anything just sitting there. I am totally fine with clearing it out so people can actually afford houses.
- seph-reed 7y agoComing from CA and living elsewhere now, it honestly hurts me how much people take that land for granted. It's so damn gorgeous and rare.
- xvector 7y agoIt is definitely stunning, and it can make a painful commute bearable, but I would put the needs of my fellow humans over aesthetic. That said, there is still a ton of "boring" land we can build on first before cannibalizing the scenic drives.
- seph-reed 7y ago> my fellow humans This may be the pivotal pinch point which marks the root of our disagreement. I honestly feel more fellowship with animals and computers than humans. Also, when it comes to the "needs" of humanity, I think we've surpassed that mark. It's beginning to appear that people are insatiable consumers that will destroy anything for a bit of convenience, all while being unhappy the entire time. I'm not on team human.
