If there is less housing, people will have fewer children. If there is more housing, people will have more. Building more houses, in the long term, just results in breeding a larger population of people. And for what? To cover the entire world in concrete and shoot emissions through the roof? At some point, we need to stop building. We need to live sustainably. The world cannot support an infinite number of people with a high quality of life.
- Moldoteck 3y agoYou have false premises. Building a lot doesn't result in breeding and higher density can be better for environment. Look at Russia's and China's multifloor buildings but population in that regions decreases because it looks like s*t(hello urban planning) and look at Netherlands where ~5-10 floor buildings are a norm and they get a lot of people and still due to efficient transportation and planning, their emissions are much less compared to low density cities in US where everybody should move by car even for grocceries(and thats despite bad weather with a lot of wind and rain that imo is worse for bikes than some hills that are not a problem because of e-assist)
