Reply #132: Building giant homes in the suburbs is environmentally irresponsible.

[alarimer]

It is incredibly destructive to habitat for all kinds of animals and plants. It also means most people have to commute huge distances, burning all kinds of fossil fuels, not to mention the ugliness and sameness of the suburbs. I fucking hate it. We need to rethink urban planning on a large scale. Since when does every single person or family have to own a home? This selfish thinking is ruining the planet. Every single one of us is guilty of selfishness by putting our wants and desires (no on "needs" 400 sq ft. NO ONE) over the planet. We have to get over ourselves and live in denser, planned communities. Build upward, not outward.
