| > Suburbs cause more pollution per capita than cities, and you know that. Nope. Most of the excess pollution is attributable to gas cars, and they're being replaced by EVs. And small/mid-size EVs have less carbon footprint than transit. > It's not, at all. We 'solved' it by just pushing it somewhere else, and then we actually helped it by making more efficient processes. We solved the pollution by forcing companies and consumers to clean up their act. And yes, this caused them to be less efficient initially. > Everything you have - water, concrete, food, electricity - is coming from denser centers. Now you're just incoherent. Food is coming from dense cities? Electricity is generated in office buildings? Sorry, but no. > And, speaking of American culture - what you're advocating is very much the status quo. No, I'm advocating the return to status quo ante, with improvements (EVs, self-driving taxis, remote work). |
