Most of the house building I've seen happening around where I live in Scotland, has been on brown field sites.

My own house was built in 1885 and is a terraced cottage in an old coal mining town where mining stopped decades ago.

You, are actually advocating I forego this for a pod/apartment in some shitty city somewhere. Have you seen Glasgow or Edinburgh? They're literal shitholes.

Disingenuous people try to paint a picture that their pod living /isn't/ being trapped in a city. Which is simply a lie. These people are advocating for the WEF "you will own nothing, and you'll be happy" dystopia.

To which I say "No."
