And 50 or so people would own all of the rest of the land and do nothing with it because we're too fucking stupid to realize that a system that wants us all to live in 50m² micro apartments is a load of shit, and strung together by a greedy few.

There is enough land for us all to live comfortably, but a fraction of a percent don't want anyone to use most of the land for anything useful so hey let's just give up and take almost-squalor because at least it not squalor!

Fuck both these pictures.

"Land-usage" is such a narrow-minded way to think about the implicit wants and needs of society. You sound like you've never been to actual cities, or never got your head far enough out of your arse to actually experience one.

North American suburban sprawl already proves that "enough land for us all to live comfortably" is a terrible way to live sociable lives and drains the economy due to massive swathes of those lands being used for roads and the maintenance of said roads.

I implore you to take a trip to almost any European city, and see for yourself what actual "comfortable living" for most people looks like.

I've lived in cities my whole life, which paints a pretty broad picture of you doesn't it? Couldn't even get the premise of your own bullshit comment right.

...Why did you reinterpret the premise of their statement into something entirely different and then attack them for it?

I'm not saying your interpretation is wrong, but that was mean.

What if we made the commie block apartments 140 m² each?
