I lived in a condo that had thick stone walls built after WW2
It was still shit and I will do everything in my life to never have to live in these giant human hutches.
My house is right next to an actual forest. I can hop out of my vegetable garden and be hiking on a moment's notice.
The holes in your logic are the individualism and scale. Very few people will ever be able to live in a detached house like yours, by definition. Either the forest will eventually be cut (rendering the nature dead), or the supply will forever be small and expensive (not accessible to millions of masses). The only way millions of people could have access to a large natural area to hike is indeed apartment blocks urban islands surrounded by large spaces of nature, like the 2nd image. They don't have to have tens of floors, just 5 floors of large apartments can house many people with comfort while also having amenities (that can be paid sustainably too) to boost.
Bullshit. Once you've built your giant rabbit hutches for human, you're going to need all the accompanying services these giant misery factories need. Industrial scale services for industrial scale human storage facilities.
Go live in one of you want to, share that one sad looking tree in your one sad looking park where you're not allowed to walk on the grass with ten thousands of other people.
Don't forget your antidepressants and your sleeping pills.
I will tell that to these Parisian people here.
Lmao this is a shitty park full of druggies and dog shit.
Anyone who's actually been there will tell you.
Fine suburbanite, everything that is not a private garden will automatically suck for you, and apparently there is not a single dirty ugly and bad backyard, garden or house itself wherever you live. Here in Brazil, tons of people leave mosquitoes proliferating in suburban houses, turning them into vectors for dengue, chicungunha, zika, etc. Can i say every suburban house is a cesspool too ? are all these Moscow parks , Tokyo parks full of dog shit and druggies all the time too ?
Private garden? There's an actual forest behind my house. With actual wild animals in them.
You are genuinely deranged if you think a manicured park with one bush per 10k people counts as anything worth talking about lmao.
And as if massively concentrated humans stored in giant soviet blocks aren't a disease vector lmao.
How comfortable are your anti-homeless benches in your artificial park?
