Most agricultural products are measured in bushels, including grain, soybeans, and corn. But yeah, weird standard of measure. Why not go by pounds?

One Week by Barenaked Ladies is a mindfuck, as is REMs It’s the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine).

Density reduces emissions

I reply to your infographic with a scientific paper that shows higher densities lead to higher CO2 emissions: https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4433/12/9/1193#:~:text=Regarding CO2 emissions%2C the,density%2C the higher the emissions.

This study was done in Spain.

Another study, in Nature, also shows that lower density is better for reducing carbon emissions and climate change. https://www.nature.com/articles/s42949-021-00034-w

Sorry, but you and your infographic/sources are not supported by science.

Yes, let’s pack people in a dense area where diseases and tempers can and will run rampant because THAT has never happened before.

Sorry, I refuse to live on top of other people. Housing is not the enemy of nature - housing that is not in tune with nature is. It is completely possible to build homes that blend in with nature without having to resort to ultra-dense, 5-story brick behemoths filled with people who loathe one another.

I see what you are trying to convey, and I agree with you to an extent, but density is not the answer to sustainable housing.

Not from US, but why do you wanna move out of US?

I’m guessing it’s politics. Our “religious conservatives” feel they can force women to have babies against their express desires while limiting birth control, sex education, and free school lunches.

It’s a party dominated by rich old white men who can’t rule over slaves anymore so they are going after all minorities and women.

I really felt cheated that no one was insulted, no rants were frothed, no theories conspiracied in this nfo. All we got was relevant information and kindness.

I’m kidding obvs
