I agree to an extent.
To be completely fair it is less efficient than densely packed cities in terms of energy and cost of providing services like sewage/garbage disposal.
That being said I see it as a tradeoff like any other and believe people should have the right to choose how they live as long as they bear the costs of that.
- naasking 4y agoYes, there are some inefficiencies with sprawl. There are also mental health issues with dense cities.
- Tade0 4y ago100% with you on that. I live 4km from the city centre, so essentially walking distance. I went there on the weekend. It's very lively, but I wouldn't want this sort of liveliness during the evening when the only thing I need is to wind down. I prefer living here, halfway from the centre to the city limits.
- naasking 4y agoExactly, that and issues like the lack of greenery that's consistently linked to poorer mental health outcomes, increased stress, etc.
