Everyone who is able to live in a dense downtown apartment is another acre of forest outside the city not razed to build McMansions and 6-lane highways. These buildings will house thousands of people and keep thousands of gas-guzzlers off the road since these buildings have such excellent public transportation options.
I'm all for letting nature be nature, but how about we let cities be cities?

- CryptoPunk 5y agoSome of those McMansion buyers would opt to live in a condo downtown, within walking distance of their work and numerous ameneties, if they weren't priced out.
- dymk 5y agoSure. Maybe some of them. But even if you build it, they won’t all come.
- CryptoPunk 5y agoAll of them don't have to come for it to reduce urban sprawl.
