Y'all do understand that people move to the suburbs voluntarily, right? That they aren't forced to move there at gunpoint or something like that?
Have you ever considered that your "collective anthill" housing ideas might actually, you know, suck ass?
And that the basic idea has wound up sucking ass every single time it's been put into practice?
Whether it's called "The Projects" or "Housing Estates" or "Collective Worker Housing Blocks", it just plain sucks,
Essentially no one (very likely not even you, if it came down to it) would, or ever has, moved into one of these human zoos voluntarily.
- oblio 3y agoDude. A huge percentage of the US is ZONED for single family homes. If those are SOOO attractive, why don't they remove that zoning and let competition win out? There's SOOO much legislation in the US that freezes everything in place (when zoning doesn't cut it they just add 100 rules like minimum parking and achieve the same thing) and then someone like you points to the result and says: "see, everyone wants it". The US basically has 2 types of housing, overwhelmingly: single family homes and residential skyscrapers. The stuff in the middle is low digit percentages.
