What if housing crisis should be approached from other end - controlling population growth.

Building more housing just converts beautiful places into ant farms with terrible traffic. Do everyone want their grandkids to live in 100sqf cells like in 5th element?

All our major problems are because we got too many people on earth - global warming, plastic contamination, air pollution, food and water availability, etc.

Do what ya need to do on the coasts; Destroy personal liberties and freedoms, regulate and outlaw everything, have fun with your social experiments, but please leave me out of it. People tend to be pretty shitty, when your surrounded by millions all on top of each other I guess I can see how you believe its getting close to the end of the world.

Your utopia is my hell.

I prefer smaller cities, personal vehicles, the outdoors, good schools, the space and freedom where the only thing I really bitch about with the local gov is the road construction and how it takes me a couple more minutes every once in a while to run an errand.
