Necessary clean energy. Asked and answered.
Easier travel is definitely a great reason to increase density. Walking & biking > cars
If the island were 100 times larger, the houses would take 1% of the land area, leaving 99%. The apartment complex would take up .04%, leaving 99.96%, which isn’t much of an improvement. The proportions of our planet are much closer to my scenario than this made up island. That’s a reason why we might not “prefer apartments in our own town.”
There are good reasons you might want density, this just isn’t one of them.
migrants were capturing the geese from the local park pond and eating them
This is totally fine by me, I don’t see the problem
Came here to say this. Cops kill just so many dogs.
IIRC that’s a plot in Beasts of Burden. It’s a good read regardless. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7703037-beasts-of-burden

Remember kids, when brown people do something bad, it’s terrorism. When white people starve an entire population after a failed occupation, that’s just because we are very concerned about misogyny. Now, starving an entire country en masse has (to my knowledge) never caused a government to be overthrown, and in this case has no chance of improving the treatment of women in the country. Nor have women in Afghanistan ever asked for sanctions, nor do they support them now that they are in place. But don’t let that fool you in to thinking we’re doing it for any reason other than to help women in Afghanistan.
Before you respond, please take a look at my post and notice I said _nothing positive about the Taliban _. This is about the disingenuous use of women’s rights to excuse and even celebrate mass starvation.

Next you’re going to tell me you can solve homelessness by giving people housing
Are those graphs accurate? The modern one seems right, but I have no idea about pre-revolution France
Stop trying to make me like Trump, it won’t work
Politics are about simple issues. Do we want to solve homelessness? Give people homes. Do we want to solve poverty? Give people money. Should we or shouldn’t we support an ongoing genocide? Geez, I’m not a fucking brain genius, someone find an ethics professor.
The only complicated thing is getting people to understand this and act on it.
Of course, but in this specific case, we’re talking about something that could literally mean rich people pay more money for the same thing.
Oh word?
Q: What did Marie Curie say to Albert Einstein?
A: At speeds approaching c, I still have one more Nobel prize than you
If this were just “it costs more to be rich” I’d be all for it, but more likely it’s just about jacking up prices based on other factors. So it’ll probably hit poor people, too, by charging more for things they want more, forcing them to give up other stuff they want less.
The song goes “Pinky and the Brain, one is a genius, the other’s insane”, which, if it implies anything, implies Pinky is the genius and Brain is the insane one
It was a joke about Jewish space lasers. I apologize to anyone I alarmed or offended.
