This is the insanity of people who advocate for densified housing, IMO. I loathe apartments and attached dwellings. It’s like a dystopian future where you can’t own anything or have private space. If I never have to share a wall or floor with someone again, it will be too soon.
I’ve lived in 4 major cities including NYC, and several small cities. The small cities and green suburbs are light years better than the dense urban hellscapes, without exception. Apartment living is also universally awful. There’s nothing desirable to me about what you idealize.
I guess if I really wanted to scream at a wall, I’d make a c/fuck-fuckcars. These people are beyond help, but I hope they grow out of it so I don’t have to live in high density hell because infinite growth is just accepted as normal.
Sometimes it’s a choice between moving away from the neighbor, or stabbing him several times and throwing his body in a river.
I chose the best option for me - the non-crime option. But in my heart I know that the best option for society was the other one.
I imagine that neighbor has grown as a person since I moved away, and he probably spends a lot of time reading - in solitary confinement as he serves out his sentences for his bullshit.
Or maybe he’s at the bottom of a river somewhere, because he finally pissed off someone with less to lose than I have - or just someone good at crimes.
Anyway, I’m theoretically in favor of desnse housing. More than 99% of my neighbors have been fantastic.

That’s our dystopian, low-density present.

Don’t bother. The regulars on this sub are totally out of touch with reality and normal people.

Yeah, they’re welcome to go live in a box surrounded by crazy people - personally I’d rather be in a box six feel under than crammed in with them.
