How many people would ‘like’ to live in a city centre if they didn’t have to for work?
- epistasis 6y agoI would! And I’m constantly surprised at the number of people that don’t like cities that assume that everybody else just must be like them somehow. Cities are expensive because they attract lots of people to them because lots of people prefer them. So when you say “how many” the answer is clearly far more people Han are currently allowed to live there. We should build in cities until it’s cheaper to live in them than it is to live in less environmentally friendly ways.

I wouldn't consider living far from a city centre, work or no work, personally. Some people love outer suburbs or the country, and that's fine; just wouldn't be for me.
