      I’d gladly walk my ass out to the wilderness rather than live in an apartment block, but at least then there’d be an extra spot.

        The nice thing is in an anarchist society you could do just that, and no one would stop you

        I’d personally prefer to be surrounded by people

          Which is why I’m an anarchist. Pretty much every other system would force me to attempt to be happy in an apartment block, or waste huge amounts of resources creating suburbs that are still too goddamn crowded for me

            I would like to share your attitude but fear the consequences when millions seek a place in the wilderness. What do you do when you arrive and your neighbor asks you to move on because he wants to be more alone?

              I want to be more alone too, so I’d probably not get to the point where I was close enough to have them tell me to go away.

              However, most people probably wouldn’t like the actual wilderness. They want a big country house somewhere and when they find out they need to build it themselves they’ll go back to the apartment blocks.

              One reason I’m a fan of making cities less objectively terrible is that more people will live in them and be even further away from my hovel.

          surrounded by people

          I would literally prefer to put myself in a human sized toaster than live amongst people.

        You believe that housing is not a basic human right, yet you say to me, “bruh…”

        “Land-usage” is such a narrow-minded way to think about the implicit wants and needs of society. You sound like you’ve never been to actual cities, or never got your head far enough out of your arse to actually experience one.

        North American suburban sprawl already proves that “enough land for us all to live comfortably” is a terrible way to live sociable lives and drains the economy due to massive swathes of those lands being used for roads and the maintenance of said roads.

        I implore you to take a trip to almost any European city, and see for yourself what actual “comfortable living” for most people looks like.

          I’ve lived in cities my whole life, which paints a pretty broad picture of you doesn’t it? Couldn’t even get the premise of your own bullshit comment right.

          …Why did you reinterpret the premise of their statement into something entirely different and then attack them for it?

          I’m not saying your interpretation is wrong, but that was mean.
