Then it’s time to collect your scarcity-generated windfall and move someplace rural you’ll like better! Super-common, and you can even complain self-righteously about the terribly governed crime-ridden hellhole you’re leaving behind.
- rank0 5y agoI live in a duplex the middle of a big city with practically no zoning restrictions. I love it here. You're the one complaining self righteously. I am quoting my original comment because it seems like you didn't read it: > Not everyone wants to live in a megacity with traffic, air pollution, constant bustle, and restricted personal liberty. > If financial gain is your only motive as a homeowner, you would actually WANT an increase in density. As you cram more people into a smaller space, the land underneath becomes more valuable. Increased density attracts amenities, restaurants, businesses, nightlife...etc, all of which raise the value of your property. Do you have an actual response? Or do you just need to be outraged at something?
