This is a pretty terrible way to make this point. The pic on the left is neater and the one on the right leaves almost no space for the people living there to do anything. You probably want a little bit of cleared land for literally anything to do on the island.
Then again, there isn't a dock. So I figure the island on the right has a better way of building boats to leave.
The people on the right have an entire island to go hiking and swimming in. The people on the left are fucked unless they have beachfront property.
Both groups can swim on the whole island.why wouldn't they be able to just walk to the waterfront that's like 3 houses away?
And I am not a huge fan of hikes. While I'd prefer to hike in the shade I'd rather be indoors doing something else.
Yes, one can't do anything in the woods! Clear cut so that we might have somewhere to go do something!!
There's a difference between clear cutting and having more of a town. But the meme only gives two options.
My point was there is actually quite a bit to do in the woods. You should try it out sometime, you might enjoy it.
Thanks for the suggestion. I have actually hiking, mushroom picking, disposing of hunted animal guts etc. It's fun for a bit but it's really not my thing.... like I said above, having some space for people instead of being super cramped is optimal. Good thing real life offers these options as opposed to the stupid binary of this post.
The binary is you assuming there is only: clear-cut space where you can do things and the natural environment where, apparently, you can't. 🙄
Where I don't want to do things. I like being inside. Hard to be inside while the trees are in the way.
