    True, but there is still generally better possibility to expand those cities outwards. But that requires that new building plots are developed, and made available at fair prices.

    If new legal building plots aren’t made available as needed, prices will increase on existing homes.

      But that just means people are commuting in. There is cheaper housing spread out from the cities, but few people actually want to live there, and those who do will commute hours into the city for work. It’s often more prudent to rent in a city…

      We need density, not spreading out.

      Continuing to sprawl outward is the worst thing we can possibly do. It is literally omnicidal.
