This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I think I didn't describe well what I wanted to say. English isn't my native tongue.

The solution I propose is to increase population density. If you increase the population density the infrastructure costs per capita will go down fast. You can see the results in the USA, almost all cities have a lot of debt just because the residential areas are so large and thinly populated.

but what that sounds like you are saying is that people should be living in apartments right by their offices instead of having their own houses

No, please no! I don't think anyone would want that. A healthy 2-3 miles distance between home and work should be enough. Some people might like to live close to their workplace but I'm not one of them. Some might want to live in an apartment or condo, some might to live in a house (especially those with large families).

I still stand by what I said

That's perfectly fine. I don't mind. Everyone has the right to their own opinion. I have 10 of them. Nine tell me I'm not crazy and the tenth one is humming the melody of tetris.🤪
