    I don’t think any one thing is gonna be a magic fix. We gotta do all the things rather than focus on just one aspect.

      The most important one is density and active transportation of people. We are building cities in a way that Absolut requires enormous expense. For example, a house need a driveway, a big street, 4 walls to heat, 1 or sometimes 2 cars, a lot of piping to go everywhere, a lot of wires to go everywhere. That’s why everything cost so much. We are not efficient with our lands. A big wide street and enormous highways is a financial drain on everyone. We need to pay for this at some point or another.

      If we were a bit more conservative with the way we build cities, everything would be more affordable today.
