We should knock down the suburbs and use that land for sustainable energy generation, food production, or let it re-wild to support conservation efforts!
High density, which in my opinion starts with mixed use apartment buildings have business underneath them on the ground floor, are way better than suburbs.
Mixed use allows for businesses to integrate with the community in literally the same footprint, which adds walkability and drives commerce. Plus, the more mixed use you have, the easier it is to have laborers live closer to their place of work, reducing commute time and costs while promoting more balanced lifestyles.
Obviously mixed use is one solution of many, but there are so many benefits to higher density living compared to suburbia.
Have you seen any of the mixed use suburb development concepts? I think they’re really cool, basically a whole block that has a wide range of housing options and amenities all self contained from single family to apartments
While we’re at it, we might as well outfit everyone’s quarters with a replicator and install transporters in the buildings so we don’t need to bother with food prep or vehicles at all!
You know what, you’re right.

I’d be with ya except for one tiny issue, living in high density housing sucks ass
Could we/should we condense suburbia down? Absolutely. Should we get rid of it entirely in favor of high density? Fuck no

Don’t think we’re in disagreement, btw
High density housing comes in many forms, and all of them suck way less ass than suburbia.
Suburbs ditch all the convenience of a walkable, urban environment and replace that with all the transportation woes of living out in the boonies.
Or maybe we could rip all the car sewers out and put a nice park in instead. It would make high density housing a lot nicer, yah?
High density is pretty sweet. I walk outside and there’s like 3 groceries within a short walk. Sprawl and wastelands kind of suck
