    Vertical dwellings and demonstrably more sustainable, whether you like them or not.

      If I was a broadcast TV owner, I’d run Scream and other horror movies where people are viciously murdered in their homes as their screams are not heard by the nieghbors one acre away the week before this election.

      I am just not comfortable living completely out on my own, never have been. I still hate everyone, I just feel safer around other people.

        Lol, subtle influence, I like it.

        An acre is a measure of area, not distance, though. One acre could be a 70 yard x 70 yard square. Or a 1 yard by 4840 yard rectangle.
