Honestly, urban apartments are pretty wasteful. Why does everyone have a kitchen? A bedroom? To me, it's all just wasted space.
It would be far, far less wasteful if everyone lived in barracks and hot-bunked/hot-desked. Meals could be served in a common mess, in shifts. Communal activities could be available for recreation.
If we maximize colocation of work and living spaces, we could also significantly cut down on space wasted on transportation in general, not just cars.
The shift will be hard, but the efficiency gains will be worth it.

No half-measures that just happen to stop when it starts interfering with your preferences. > The kitchen and bedroom you use them everyday. Same with the "one-seat" in your car. Come on. Just used everyday? That's a total waste. They should be in constant use.

- frumper 3y agoMotorcycles are also more dangerous to ride and bicycles don't go as far. One could also bring up the comfort levels and carrying capacity.
