I think the one row about resources still makes sense though. You didn’t even answer OP’s original question regarding it in your reply. All you did was state an opinion as a fact without providing any proof. At least, I attempted to do so. A simple counterexample to your “common sense” claim that it’s easier to provide resources when people aren’t spread apart is housing. I didn’t even read the pollution part. That’s a whole different topic that wasn’t being discussed. But thanks for the downvote! Next time, please make sure your reply is up to par if you feel the need to downvote.
