At the same time, many, many people love it. In NYC alone millions of people pay astronomical rents and mortgages for the privilege of living in tiny spaces in close quarters, no yards, etc. They have for generations. And then we can add everyone in all the other cities, all over the wealthy part of the world, doing the same. As comparison, I wonder what the highest-demand suburban location is in the US and in the world, and where it ranks for housing costs?
It's not 'misery central', just something where you have a different preference.
> no city in the US managed to increase affordability by either building transit or increasing density. Not a single one.
Where does that come from? I understand we won't all have data all the time (I sure don't always), but until then, it's words.
P.S. Why are so many people using all caps in the last month or two? I hadn't seen much of that every on HN, iirc, and now it's all the rage. :)
