For me, the first thing I’d do is clear my family of all debts(or whatever financial issues) there is and then the second thing i’d do is buy a hundred Siomai for me to eat

What are you buying if you won One billion dollars?

    An excess of single family housing is a major contributor to homelessness. We need denser housing. I’d rather work towards building something like a dense arcology. Somewhere for people to live that makes efficient use of the space to grow plants.

      I knew about this problem, the whole issue with the tradeoffs/advantages/disadvantages between having denser housing vs having adequate green space. However, I didn’t know there were any reasonably well developed potential solutions! Thank you for introducing me to the concept of Arcology, this is awesome.

      What if my proposed setup was more like tall dense multifamily buildings instead? Maybe something like how Pueblo housing worked?

        That’s not a bad idea. Kinda combining the ideas. Smallish apartment buildings or multiplexes with lots of green space?

          Yeah exactly. I feel like it might be more kind of “doable” on a smaller community-level scale, which appeals to me because anarchy. I don’t know how well it actually threads that needle though, and whether it introduces its own problems
