You know the 1% are ripping us off to an astonishing extent, right?

112. I tend to agree with you in theory. I just haven't seen it played out with facts.

Cities tend to become the center of power with naturally all resources directed to them. Instead of living within the bounds of nature, even the lands & waterways themselves are displaced to accommodate the needs of the cities. International airports, amusement parks, golf courses and business centers constantly pushing for more and more traffic to cover vast distances to visit them. Constant turnover, constant growth. It devours itself when it has nothing left to swallow.
I love the idea of sustainable cities. And I agree they would be the best option in the long run. It's not like all of us out here in the sticks live low impact lifestyles. Many who tire of the cities move out here and start removing trees, displacing waterways and bending the environment to their needs. It is all they know.
One thing is for sure, we all need to find a balance. Like, yesterday.
