Depends where you live. That's a broad assertion to cover a wildly divergent spectrum of community types.

Depends where you live. That's a broad assertion to cover a wildly divergent spectrum of community types.
- CountSessine 4y agoCommunity types enforced by rigid laws outlawing market alternatives. If your “quality of life” is so compelling, why do you need to outlaw everything else, comrade? “Tear down this wall, Mr Gorbachev”

- CountSessine 4y agoNonsense. Your city council is the People’s Central Planning Committee that runs the construction economy in your city. They decide what is produced and they decide who does it. Construction in your city is a planned economy - every bit as much as the Soviet Union or pre-Deng China. And like every planned economy, it sucks and fails in just about every way.

Granted, a huge amount of the US should probably be discounted for a more realistic comparison (e.g. unlivable regions, BLM / park / national forest, and massive amount of farmland), which would bump the number up. But we're still probably going to need some adjustments going from a country you can drive across in about 4 hours, to one where it would take 40+ hours.
