How are local govts. going to force policy change to reverse nearly 100 years of urban sprawl... Archived Message
Posted by uofi1998  on June 7, 2022, 13:44:50, in reply to "I don't understand the question. I want people to vote for public policies"
...over the next 80-120 years?
I'm simply following the thread from the 4-5 posts that preceded my question.
People are 1) incredibly self-centered and 2) locked into myriad financial commitments... and now we're talking about getting millions of people at local levels to somehow agree on how to reverse growth.
I don't know how that's going to happen. There's no way to do what I think you're suggesting here without forcing people from their properties by the thousands.
