Is there a choice other than between more condo bunkers in our neighborhoods or developing new lands?

Thanks

JK - that's a big question. When I was a kid, I was told not to pick certain wildflowers because they were rare. But, you could pick a few IF there was a large cluster and no danger that picking one or two would harm the survival of the colony. Preservation of our landscape is so very important, these rare places need to be kept wild.

As for growth, my sense is that more and more existing houses will either be upgraded or torn down for re-builds, but that doesn't solve the problem of density. I guess I would concentrate density in the places it already exists among the same housing types that already exist.

I think it is important to preserve certain landscapes, including those with history.
There are vast amounts of land as one can see when traveling across the country
without having to take rare places. There are also many small communities already with infrastructure dying on the vine that can provide housing. We need to be careful that we respect rare places, the direction we are going, what is next? Selling parcels of national parks we no longer can afford to take care of and because of our debt, to be available for McMansions and estates, or to the Chinese for that debt?

Be very, very careful:
