It's only a bad deal if you ignore what a significant portion of the population prefers and value space lowly. There's more to life than optimal efficiency.

- eru 3y agoPlease read carefully: 'These suburbia homes are still pretty bad deal for the public.' The original comment was carefully worded to avoid any statement about whether suburbia was a good or bad deal for the people who want to live there. Similarly to how protectionism and subsidies can be a good deal for those people who benefit from them, but still be a bad deal for the public.

Apart from the needed streets there is a lot other cost like health care which comes with car centered living.
