Housing should be a human right

Public housing in form of large panel system-buildings would be a good way to combat homelessness and the housing crisis.

Think of the environmental hazards from such an endeavor. The living trees and plants which produce oxygen that would be destroyed. The carbon emissions into the atmosphere during construction would be catastrophic. Water pollution. Animal cruelty. Why do you hate the environment?

@LoneVoice Actually it is worse for the environment if every person would build themselves big single family homes.

@Gloomy the reply to your point is, it depends. when urban development builds high rises, it tends to cover the surrounding area with pavement, cuts into green spaces and does not provide the infrastructure needed. I suppose one could plan appropriately, but that has not been, historically, what has happened.
@Gloomy Six vs a half dozen. You are still destroying the environment, environment hater.
Be a true Utopian and live in an all natural cave.

@samueltyler2 True but it will house a lot more people and takes up less space and when it is build near cities there the environment has already suffered and can only be brought back through parks, planted trees and community gardening.
@samueltyler2 "It depends" alright, on [b]today's[/b] agenda. Never mind what they preached yesterday. 😂

@Gloomy i don't understand your point. The best thong being done in some cities, is tearing down the old high rises, replacing them with lower density homes and of course, planting trees and grass.

@samueltyler2 which would decrease living spaces which I would consider an absolute no go. Density isn't the problem.

@Gloomy have it your way, but the literature really doesn't support your belief.
