I have no desire to live in a blue beehive city.

Green Acres is the place to be.
Farm livin’ is the life for me.
Land spreadin’ out so far and wide
Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside.

I will not become a hivedweller in a democrat hellhole city.

"These new “smart cities” include dense living in small, cramped dwellings in cities

In the late 1800's wasn't it Jacob Riis and other social reformers, progressives of their day, who sharply criticized such living conditions? Living in small cramped quarters leads to illness and diseases they told us. Such environments are hotbeds for criminal activity they told us. IT'S DEHUMANIZING THEY TOLD US. And here we are, globalist elitist scumbags want to go back to the days of crowded tenements, but not for them. I HATE those effing hypocrites. They also demand we live on insects. They can eat 💩. 500 trillion flies can't be wrong

Lots of interesting points to discuss here.

In my personal life and professional career I've come to look at the dynamics of "home ownership" and "suburbia" very differently than they are portrayed in articles like this. Two general points that guide me on this:

1. If you live in a suburban area and work in a nearby city, don't consider yourself a "suburbanite." You are an urban resident in almost every respect, and your socioeconomic indicators cannot be detached from your ties to the city.

2. Related to the previous point ... If you don't live and work in the same municipal or county jurisdiction, I'd say a lot of the characteristics of "home ownership" go right out the window. In fact, I'd suggest that the separation of home and work locations has been one of the most destructive features of suburbanization in the post-WW2 era.

This is an announcement from Genetic Control:
‘It is my sad duty to inform you of a four foot restriction on
Humanoid height’

I hear the directors of Genetic Control have been buying all the
Properties that have recently been sold, taking risks oh so bold

It’s said now that people will be shorter in height
They can fit twice as many in the same building site
They say it’s alright

Beginning with the tenants of the town of Harlow
In the interest of humanity, they’ve been told they must go
Told they must go-go-go-go

Of course, “15 minute cities” have no provision for churches, especially not Orthodox parishes and dioceses!

The whole “15 minute city” movement is EVIL, and it has little to do with “climate”!!
