What if we put an apartment complex and use the rest as a race track ?

Give me a European style apartment with high ceilings and generous space and you have yourselves a deal!

That said, I've been working in my local building industry for almost 20 years and the trend that I see is that though there are more apartments being built, the quality has tanked. We have huge issues with mould, flammable facades, exploding glass, alternatives are rampant through the roof and price gouging.

Unfortunately this has fed the idea that apartment living is no good.

It also saves farmland something rural people tend to care about.

Something people who need food to live tend to care about

Yeah, try living in an impoverished town, where it's the housing on the right, spread out like the housing on the left. There are, like, no jobs (none that are actually sustainable long-term for living in this economy), but they just leveled a huge area of forest for more low-income housing (AKA Projects)

I live in a flat and it sucks. I'll probably move to living in a car eventually.

Looks around at all the houses

I think we have our answer already.

[–] bluemite@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Why aren't there any trees around the houses?
