Cities are noxious tumors on an otherwise beautiful planet.
Walkable cities produce less pollution per capita than suburban or rural areas due to less pollution from commutes and increased efficiency delivering utilities (due to the population density).
Suburban sprawl is what truly makes ugly stains on our word - concrete everywhere, destroying the watershed, with no native grass in the medians, and so many cars spewing out fumes, micro plastics, and disrupting migration patterns. They're depressing places to live.
Y'all sure like putting words in my mouth. I don't prefer suburbs, I just think cities are ugly
I didn't assume you were a fan of suburbs, I just read your comment about cities being blights upon the earth and argued why I think suburbs are more blight-like.
The only assumption I made about you is that you'd appreciate an appeal to environmentalism, since you called earth our beautiful planet
That's fair, I suppose I misread your intent. I don't disagree.
