How many of these would it take to drive down property values in a neighborhood?
- Workaccount2 2y agoHow much more would you pay for a house with 1 or 2 neighbors instead of 4 or 8 neighbors? There is your answer.
- tptacek 2y agoThat's what North Dakota is for.
- wglb 2y agoThe number might be smaller. If you take the Empire Builder from Chicago towards the northwest, one of the trains goes through North Dakota at night. Every farm in the area has one of those mercury vapor lights in the yard, which are visible for tens of miles. If you sit in the scenic car then, you will see one of those farmstead perhaps every hour. It is very not populated.
- tptacek 2y agoIf you're worried about how many neighbors you have, it sounds idyllic.
- wglb 2y agoWell, if you fall ill, then you might decide that you have too few neighbors.
- tptacek 2y agoI agree! I think density is good, which is why I live in an urban area. What I don't get are the other people who live in urban areas who want them to be more like North Dakota.
- kelnos 2y agoI agree too. Far too many people want to live in an area with the services and vibrancy of an urban area, but with the number of people you'd find out in a rural area. It's just not practical or sustainable to build a community that way. (Also, I get the need for peace and quiet sometimes, but it makes me sad how so many people in the US just... don't like to be around other people.)
