Isn't that a massive issue? That cities are overcrowded, expensive, and polluted? Europe has decent public transport and there's the same issue. Cramming people

Isn't that a massive issue? That cities are overcrowded, expensive, and polluted? Europe has decent public transport and there's the same issue. Cramming people into cities makes things worse.
- input_sh 3y agoIf you're only thinking of European capitals, there's some truth in that. But it does not apply to every city, not even close. You don't even have to go down the list very far, the 2nd or maybe 3rd most populous city is any random European country is much more affordable and less crowded than the capital.
- gumballindie 3y agoCorrect, but see, people in tech or many blue collar jobs can't afford to live in small towns since all jobs are in large cities. And since high earners are all in large cities then so does everyone else move there because that's where the money is. Instead we should facilitate spreading out, so that wealth can also spread out, and people can enjoy what you just mentioned.
