I read something once, wish I could find it now. It was a meme which said something like;
"It wasn't meant to be like this. You and your four brothers should be discussing economics and politics in the shared living room, while your wives chat and make dinner in the kitchen, and your children play with their cousins in the yard."
We could live so much more densely than we do. We certainly used to.
Oh, and "dense living" now, is tiny single-person apartments crammed together.
And people blame immigration for the housing crisis.
I read a funny (crappy) story today, where two girl "gen-Zers" were complaining about "how hard it is to work 9-5" and how "all the 100K jobs are for experienced people"
:D :D
