Also, the waste caused by commuting in a 5 passenger vehicle by oneself every day, and living in a spacious home in a suburb and all the extra consumption simply living in a low density environment probably offsets all the recycling in a lifetime. Even funnier to think about all the separate recycling trucks driving around all the extra distances due to everyone having quarter acre lots.

You forgot to subtract the human suffering inflicted onto introverted personalities being forced to live in high-density urban housing as well as the cost of a much higher infectious disease transmission rate, increased crime (more humans in close proximity = more conflict), and/or higher cost of building materials suitable for high-density human living and spaces or the cost of human lives when the low-bid contract builds said housing and it collapses.

Seriously, every time I read a comment like this it's like Dr. Strangelove has walked off of Kubrick's set and into real life.
