Consuming less can be associated with better quality of life.
More walkable neighborhoods mean you need cars for less errands, which means less money spent on road infrastructure and more money being invested in more efficient solutions.
- slothtrop 5y agoIt's understood that opting to live in high-density areas means smaller living space in general. The urban/rural price disparity today is massive however and many could scarcely afford a room the size of a closet, but notwithstanding, whether this provides a "better quality" depends on what a person values. If you value what a detached home brings, that's what increases your quality of life. Having the choice matters.
