> have you lived in the US? there are lots of different kinds of suburbs. my suburbs have shops
Well, good - that's not the type of suburb I was taking issue with, as I would hope was apparent.
> I want low-density accommodations. I want everybody to have acres of land and I want to go days without seeing other people.
That's not possible. If everybody were to live in that kind of isolation, nothing would get done.
> Take Japan, or any other country with negative rate of change in population. Without immigrants, how do you imagine their population will change?
That doesn't change the population level globally. It's just shifting people between borders.
> Why so cryptic?
Because its just an impression and people tend to take suggestions that they have eco-fascist inclinations pretty badly. Talking about population control and low-education immigrants isn't definitive but it certainly smells bad.
> I want to be a hermit so I never have to see other human beings unless I have to go into town to buy groceries
I'm not against that, if it can be done in such a way where everybody gets what they want. I'm only really against hording of resources to the detriment of others.
> but in your hive world, there are no countrysides or suburbs left, just sprawling concrete scars on the landscape where people go to rooftop mini-parks and think they're experiencing nature
Nice 40k reference, but you have a strange impression of what I've said. I want a world where people's personal preferences are maximised, which includes living arrangements; we just have to do it sustainably so the biosphere doesn't collapse. I love nature too, see - I live just on the edge of the countryside myself.
