You have the cause and effect reversed. Areas densify because they become more expensive. This is the classic “more medicine causes higher mortality” Simpson's paradox. Edit: Also, looking at one country for less than a generation is n

You'll never be able to afford a house or kids. The rich are getting richer at your expense. Earth's climate is on it's last legs. But at least you'll get to smoke weed and waste away in your 1bdr rental, apathetic to yo
