How does New York cope with its density and schools/services? It’s a mystery that cannot be solved, no way to know.

Also in Europe people don’t have schools or sewage, we’re feral educated and dump our poop in the river.

Gotcha. I understand the nature of this conversation now. Have a great day!

Yeah they make a good point, you reply with reactionary bullshit, they show you that your concerns are illegitimate through simple counterexamples, you realise you're outmatched and quit. Did I miss a step?

Did I miss a step?

Many.

you reply with reactionary bullshit

Raising fresh water supplies and sewer capacity limitations is reactionary bullshit? You're proving my next point.

you realise you’re outmatched and quit.

I realize that the conversation here isn't interested in discussing anything that doesn't align with the idea of high density housing is the only solution for all scenarios. This isn't a discussion of policy, but instead of religion. I'm not interesting in trying to convert others from their religion.

Its your clubhouse. I'm not asking you to change your actions or your rules, its just not a place I'm interested in being in, so I gracefully made an exit.
