I guarantee there are people that do think this.

The kind of people that demand an HOA

In my city, these people are trying to make the argument that building houses is bad for the orcas. What's infuriating is that it seems to be working.

Any excuse. The real thing they're thinking "I've got mine, now everybody else F-off and die already."

I'm one of them.
Build mass transit. The high density housing will come.
"One more lane" ain't gonna fix it.

This is.... not true. At all. High density housing creates the conditions necessary for transit to be useful. There is already demand for higher density housing all over the place, and typically the reason it isnt built is because:

Of course, if you build a train to the middle of a corn field and then sell the land to whoever the fuck, they will tend to build an apartment building there. But almost always, these are terrible places to live. It's a mass produced apartment in the middle of a corn field. And there is no reason to build train tracks into corn fields when we can simply allow and encourage infill development in areas that are already nearby

One of the best places I've lived, Auth Rd. in Suitland, MD, a three minute walk from the DC metro. We could hear taps playing from Andrews AFB on a clear night.

I'll be damned. For some reason, I always thought that McSweeney's was Canadian...but no, it's American. Huh.

Maybe I was thinking of The Beaverton.

And, presumably, if their town were actively shrinking, they'd also be upset.

I'd actually like more towns, further out (closer to me), with better connectivity between them.
China's highspeed rail for instance, is mostly to get rural workers to urban jobs ... allowing them to adapt to employment surges.

High speed rail is a method of internal migration, as is living at the factory. It's so rural people can get around their Hukou designation, and make money they couldn't in a small town.

Fuck no, horrible systems. What the fuck makes you think approval of one bit of infrastructure is worth moving there for?
None too bright of you.

It's always so cool when the subject of the article shows up in the comments.

I don't live close in to a capital city. Wanting more satellite towns means more housing options closer to me...
...dumbass.
CombatWombat@feddit.online · 1 pts · 82d
Yeah, for sure. Build a lot of houses in small satellite towns near your town, just not in your town. You've got that nice small-town vibe and you wouldn't want to ruin that by becoming like one of those "capital cities." I can see clearly how you differ from the subject of the piece and why I'm a dumbass for conflating you.
DarkCloud@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 82d
They can build here (plenty of farms around). Never said otherwise. I've already said I want them to build satalite towns closer to me. That's the whole fucking comment chain.
NOW STOP FUCKING BULLYING ME!
