"We can't go on like this."

There is a huge HUGE difference between "you must own 1/3 of an acre of land to live within an hour commute of your job" and "microscopic communal living spaces", if you haven't looked at a map recently we are much much closer to the prior than the latter.

Mmm. I live in the UK.

London is somewhere in-between; so are most of our towns and cities, really.

Tons of semi-detached or terraced homes, well served by public transport, which provide a decent balance.

We still can't just increase the population in those commutable areas without bound though.
