Beggars belief your response to an article on the psychological and health benefits of nature is… more cars?

Building roads, urban sprawl, the noise and pollution from the cars themselves, the destructive invasion of all the infrastructure associated with car-use - all of it is directly destructive of the nature we’re talking about.

Of course, I didn’t say that, I only said the pro-density utopia sounds super bleak to me.

Anyway, there’s still plenty of space out there and all of the urban people in this thread are talking like they’ve never seen other parts of the country before—there’s still a whole bunch of space between New York and San Fran—it’s not the endless suburbs you seem to be imagining.
