I wrote medium-to-high density, which means anything between city and "walkable town with a core". This doesn't preclude detached homes. It does preclude sprawling car-centric suburbia, which is similar to rural isolation in terms of the effects it has on the most people's mental health.
- rickydroll 3y agoah, I understand. I've lived in both city and "walkable town with a core. I now live 2 miles outside of a New England mill city. The value of each place has been for what I can reach, not the place itself.
- lelanthran 3y ago> It does preclude sprawling car-centric suburbia, which is similar to rural isolation in terms of the effects it has on the most people's mental health. Come on now: "Surburbia has more negative effects of people's mental health than high-density living" sounds like both pure conjecture and wishful thinking on your part. Were there any measurements actually done? What are you basing this assertion on?

A quick search shows that there is research on this subject and results seem to agree with GP. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20230529/Study-shows-link-between-living-in-suburban-areas-and-depression-risk.aspx https://www.news-medical.net/news/20230529/Study-shows-link-...
