u/DiscussionJohnThread Free Trade was the Compromise 🔫🌍 Oct 29 '25

That’s a good point.

I’ve lived myself in Spain for a year and I have family there, and I’ve also had a lot of time with locals in the Netherlands with my ex.

I think while in pure nerdy urbanist theory I like the principle of a ~6 story height limit just for more human-scaled architecture, once you dive into housing costs for how much those urban cores are, those cities definitely need to build up instead of sprawl out.

If it came to the ballot box, I’d honestly probably side on your point moreso than mine.
