Yes, and it's a good thing. Either way, you need to fit the needs of the same number of people. If they're in a dense city near everything they need, they use less space. Policies to limit urban sprawl just an expensive way to cre

I've not seen the claim you're satirising in years. But I am still seeing the satire years after Windows became the third most common user operating system. The first is Linux. The only reason Microsoft can afford to treat Windows
