So I see this article extolling the virtues of being a nation of skyscrapers and flats. Then I smack into a paywall. Looking around at my nice, rural century home that has a monthly mortgage payment still far lower than the cheapest local rent...I’m not going to bother trying to find the article elsewhere. Living in a skyscraper is just not for me. Even the apartments I’ve lived in previously were comfortable ranch-style ones out in Nevada that weren’t very densely packed. I have no need or desire to move to Manhattan or Silicon Valley for the time being let alone Cleveland or Pittsburgh. That shouldn’t be problematic yet the current crop of economy optimizers might not leave me that choice. We shall see in due time.
