Something like 90% of US territory is land that is unmolested.

Liberals.

Let’s see...

Someone passes laws/zoning that restricts height of housing complexes, mandates “green space”, puts caps on rent (which decreases availability),

then bitches when people move further out (”sprawl”).

Yep, Liberals.

Yeah, but is it anywhere near where one needs to be to work?

It does raise a good question - is it worth it to have a detached home with lawn to spend 3 or 4 hours a day commuting in your car? I used to have a round-trip commute of about 120 miles and 3 hours, and it really took it out of me. However, like a lot of other people, I hate apartments and I’m lukewarm about flats, townhouses, condos, etc - probably because I was raised in the typical suburban home myself. It’s a conundrum. Still, as long as they’re not suggesting the government do something to force (or “encourage”) people to make this choice, I can’t see anything wrong with advocating it.
