This is an excellent thread. It deserves far more attention. Thank you for writing it.

Your description dovetails with a lot of my own thoughts. Aside from the UN, many US Democrats are trying to force people into cities and legislate away the suburbs. This leads to all the problems you described.

Personally, I'm trying to find ways to circumvent this trend. IMO the only option at this point is a mass exodus from cities, and the development of alternatives elsewhere. The silver lining of the Internet is that it allows people in remote places to telework. People could set up homesteads, or congregate in small to medium-sized intentional communities. These could provide a viable alternative to cities.

What are your thoughts on this?
