this is the opposite of what we should do. Spread out living situations contribute hugely to global climate change. We should instead focus on building so much housing in dense urban areas that there will be no scarcity to provide value, and we should also institute a land tax to ensure that land is used for its most efficient purpose. That will drive prices down and allow people to live a sustainable lifestyle.

I disagree. Currently, people's food and goods travel thousands of miles before reaching the user. Not too long ago, people grew most of their own food or it came within 50miles. With technology, it would not be hard for people to return to that lifestyle and still have many day hours to dedicate to intellectual or fabrication pursuits.

I am very in favor of Georgist style land taxation.

I realize that, but can we talk about fixing some of the problems of the city? I can't stand living in the city most of the time. There's just so much violence and hostility.
