at this point does it matter? the status quo wants her out, so anti-semite is the label they will give

I'm equally confused. The initial example takes only land use into account, but you expanded the example with food availability (trade ships exist, but whatever let's assume it's an island in a vacuum...), and when that wasn't enough you expanded it once more to farming animal rearing. So let's stick with that.

Are you advocating that houses would be better for farming and animal rearing given the lesser land availability?

In the apartment example, would it be inconceivable for the much greater surrounding land to be co-opted for farming and animals?

Who said the houses would have a sewer line and not septic tanks?

If we're talking about an island in a vacuum, then that septic tank would need to be routinely emptied somewhere.... which, surprise, means dumping it into the sea.

I’m saying there’s a reason why we have been building villages in village shapes and not in apartment shapes.

Because land in villages is typically owned by several different families who are unwilling to share it. If land boundaries were not a thing, chances are that villages would be highly centralised.

If you think the Grenfell Tower cladding issue was just a UK problem, oh are you in for a world of disappointment.

  • 100 houses:

    • sewer lines under each row of houses, joining at the roads, and then emptying into a single pipe that goes into the sea. Lines are low load and low pressure so can get stuck easily depending on weather.
    • most homeowners get in their vehicles and drive to the store depending on distance to the store
    • 3 homeowners might grow vegetables. Maybe.
  • 100 apartments:

    • single sewer line, high load and high pressure, waste can travel further into the sea
    • grocery store on the ground floor of block, next to the kebab shop, apartment owners can take the lift or the stairs.
    • 3 apartment owners might grow vegetables. Maybe.

...where do the 100 houses get their food?

it sounds so innocuous. What's wrong with it?

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

We should... we should kill OP, correct?

the future is not set in stone. Our weather predictive models are finding it harder to predict, given the high variability and uncertainty. Her kids might actually be fine.
