| The EU however has protected areas like all the "Natura 2000" areas and these, probably, aren't going away anytime soon: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9seau_Natura_2000 These are huge: 30 000 sites and 18% of the surface of the EU. If you don't want a high-rise to appear in your view, your best bet is to rent/buy right next to a Natura 2000 (both land and sea) wildlife protected land. I'm typing this right now from France, rural area, with a Natura 2000 area right in front of me (I'm one of the last houses before the area starts). And for my place in Luxembourg it's exactly the same: I picked a spot with another Natura 2000 protected area (land only) walking distance from my apartment. I understand many want a world made of concrete only so that we can pack hundreds of billions of humans on earth... But I find the current trajectory miserable and I pick nature any day over concrete. Wife and I decided to have one kid, we did our part to save mother earth. And, no, you're not building a high-rise in my Natura 2000 wildlife protected area. |
