Living in a big house is waaaaaay better than a living in an apartment inside a building. No contest here.
- eropple 4y agoAt some point you're going to have to pay for the externalities you free-ride on to enjoy that life right now. (I have a modest house on the commuter rail network. I probably will, too.)
- hedora 4y agoI'm already paying an order of magnitude more for the same facilities I'd get in states that are less dense than California. At least out here, things are so screwy that minor details like cost of materials are rounding error. Will happily pay for atmospheric carbon recapture, which covers the biggest externality. Also, like most other commenters from the west coast, I'd live in one of the cities if they weren't littered with human waste, and if they had reasonable public schools.
