You know what also houses 0 people, Central Park. And I mean permanent housing.
You can make any point if you cherry pick data hard enough.
To be fair, the population is probably a little more than 0. I’m sure there’s some homeless folks living under it.
Hey I lived in Siena! Incredibly beautiful and charming city
Zero? Really? In Houston? Surely there are at least a few sheltered under that.
I mean, who’d want to live in the center of that thing? smh
Siena, Italy? yeah fair enough
yes but we need cars i don’t understand how we’re supposed to live without the infrastructure
I apologize if you’re being sarcastic, but this is the point. We need cars because we designed our cities around cars.
If we designed around foot traffic and rail, we wouldn’t need (as many) cars and could do with less expensive car-centric infrastructure. Not just interstate exchanges, but also the massive parking lots and garages that are required, gas stations and car repair/oil change places on every corner, etc.
How much CO2 you willing to pump out redesigning America?
How much CO2 are you willing to pump out sustaining America’s current design indefinitely?
Sometimes the investment is worth the cost.
youre right. using cars only, until forever, is way less pollution.
I would rather die than live in an apartment.
The better designed and better laid out cities are, the more affordable and less intruded-upon rural areas are. It’s win-win.
An apartment in the suburbs of Nowhere, Texas? Agreed. An apartment in the middle of a beautiful, historic downtown city center that has been developing for hundreds of years? I could give the car up.
That’s not going to solve it for me, unfortunately. I really value privacy, personal space, and quiet. If I were surrounded on all sides by other families I assume I would leap from the window in like 10 seconds.
Yeah, I’m with the other guy who made this comment. This is why we need our cities functioning as efficiently as possible with good design and public transportation. I want people to have their seclusion way out yonder! Maybe I’ll want it one day too. The urban sprawl is relentless
