    There are exceptions of course but its mainly cities like the centre of tokyo where you have extreme density, money and incentive to live. Of course the other thing is skyscapers are cool af. I think the solution is the same as with cars and a lot of other things: moderation.

    The gain from building higher isnt linear. You have to use more space for elevators, re-enforcements, safety(fire for example), etc. The cost of the apartments go up drastically so most people who buy them dont live there, they just invest. Midrises are much better in all of these aspects. Also the materials needed for skyscrapers harder to mamufacture so with all of these they are just plain worse for the environment. Göterborg is a pretty good example of how midrises are better in almost every case.

    You know its never good when the us or china sponsor infrastructure. They always want something back that is not money. Usually its intelligence but you never know. There are plenty of examples of african countries “getting helped” and it turns out it was so they could be spied on.








  • As a neurotypical i do not relate that much to the other three but my pride gets into my way when a teacher says something incorrect. In primary school i was always given some small punishment for it and learnt that it isnt worth it but the nice thing about the high school i went to is thay teachers actually listened to what you had to say.
