There is not a lot of good literature, actually.

I'm not saying anything even remotely factually controversial. Housing units per household: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=15tRv

It's also not controversial that major job density increases are happening in a few select metros: https://www.route-fifty.com/workforce/2019/06/job-density-re... or if you look more broadly, that smaller cities in the US are dying out.

I simply arrived at a different conclusion: we don't need to continue deepening this death spiral by "building more".
