Sure but curious why that comment is downvoted and yours is not?

> The well being of the people is lost in the drive for infinite growth.
There is no drive for infinite growth, that I have found. People are just trying to have enough housing for everyone, yet this "infinite growth might happen therefore we are going to impose housing austerity" is the attitude that has been prevalent in older suburban homeowners, and that's exactly how we got into this mess of a housing crisis.
Categorically dismissing the large number of people that choose to live in cities because they prefer them is ridiculous. If it really were worse, prices would be lower in the cities than outside them. More people want what cities have to offer than are allowed to access them.
What about Carbon emission projections. Isn't that proof of 'drive for infinite growth' ?
Rather, I suspect "infinite growth" is a hyperbole to stand in for "everybody has it as good as I do."
And carbon emissions are a particularly bad example of that because carbon emissions are falling per person without a decrease in the standard of living for people, or for the amount of useful energy they use in their lives.
