When you argue for housing reform to legalize denser development in our cities, you quickly learn that some people hate density. Like, really hate density, with visceral disgust and contempt for any development pattern that involves buildings being tall or close together.

I wouldn't argue for others not to have it, but I absolutely do not like skyscrapers or tall buildings, or being cramped together with lots of other people. If I can, I would avoid living in or around tall buildings and cities.

I would prefer to live underground. Like a hobbit.

Which is fine, as long as you don't move to a city and then pull the ladder up after you by blocking housing for others.

And as long as they don't go and live miles from where they work and shop, then drive back and forth every day, putting the danger and pollution onto other people
