And this is why I'm not crying over gas prices. Maybe that will make us change our ways.
Fuck cities. They make you mentally ill so you can fit in with the other idiots.

>housing ended up becoming so expensive because the only thing you're allowed to build is detached single family homes Housing is much more expensive when built densely and when people are unable to drive to cheaper areas

It's because of all the chuds.

>things become spread far out and travel times stretch This was done for military reasons. Reduce population density and now you need more nukes to hit the same number of people.

Or you’re just dumb, that’s my takeaway.

You are out of your mind. Unlike Europe, America grew up with the motor vehicle. You can't suddenly undo that and live in quaint cobbled villages where your workplace is 2 miles from your front door. All you are basically saying is you are fine with blue collar workers getting ass raped even more because you live in a city and your job comprises of pushing keys on a laptop so you aren't affected by this. I hope you get forced to work shifts in a coal mine.

Maybe it’s because residential developers buy cheap farmland and convert it into shitty subdivisions. Your theory is just a side effect.

People's mind are affected by if their looking at something beautiful or ugly. And capitalists have turned everything we look at into black tar and concrete and our minds suffer because of it.
