You thinking his question was “why don’t we have taller skyscrapers” kind of demonstrates his actual point that we just seem to assume incremental improvements. His question would be “where is the next disruptive innovation in work/life housing, like skyscrapers were?”
- nradov 5y agoThe next disruptive innovation in work/life housing is technologies that enable remote work for many employees. This greatly reduces the need for dense housing and office space. All else being equal, the majority of people prefer to live in single family houses with some space and privacy rather than being crammed into skyscrapers. (Yes I understand that some prefer the skyscraper lifestyle but they're a minority.)
