For most of human history people lived in mud huts, yurts, teepees, igloos, lean-tos and the such. Generally they're all pretty small.
I would say car dependent suburbs are the more extreme lifestyle. Sprawl drives the kind of consumption that is destroying the planet. Are humans even theoretically capable of anything more extreme than that? I don't think so.
- falcolas 4y agoPeople also didn't spend a vast majority of the day every day in their huts. They spent most of that time outside of these huts, hunting, farming, or in a community center. Japan metros like Tokyo are a modern example of this lifestyle. People go to their 600 sqft apartments/homes primarily to sleep and bathe, and that's about it. The rest of the time they're out working, playing, eating... living.
