Here's easier parenting: walk from your house/apartment to a close by square, and play with your kids there

Honestly, I don't want that lifestyle. I live in the burbs with a big house and yard. We travel plenty and go to places that are dense/walkable but I love coming back home to my carbrained neighborhood with an HOA.

That's really too bad: your lifestyle does not support maximal economic output of the land you are using and tax dollars you're paying.

HOA? Hah!- those shouldn't be allowed, neither should home ownership generally. You really need to live and raise your family in an apartment.. taxes should be raised enough that we can phase out private home ownership.

Your children will attend a public school and understand and implement equity from an early age. They will learn to use and love mass transit, only the approved destinations are necessary.

The Party may decide that the 50% of your income you are generously allowed to spend on approved items is too much. Social programs aren't free, you know, you need to pay "your share."

That’s great for those who have ridden the economic momentum from high fertility rates before the 1970s, but not so fun for those being born now.

Wouldn't low fertility rates make land less valuable? I don't get how my lifestyle indebts the future generations.
