White collar workers trying to claim the mantle of the working class while doing the cushiest jobs in human history would be embarrassing if the people leading the charge had an ounce of shame.
So true! If you don't build denser housing in urban areas, the people just disappear and cause zero environmental impact living further out in suburban sprawl where they drive everywhere.

Play Kerbal Space Program and try to build a plane. Once you understand the forces operating on an aircraft during flight, you'll be considerably more relaxed. In short, you learn that while it's real hard to get a plane to fly, it's equally hard to get a (structurally sound) plane to stop flying.
