w.r.t to building new towns, I once spent an embarrassingly long time looking at this map and wondering why no town exists between the vast gap between Preston and Newcastle.
Then I realised that’s the Yorkshire Dales. There’s a whole damn forest with mountains there.

it’s a abbreviation of “Worcester”, e.g. w.r.t to sauce

Thats an unusual definition. WRT has long meant “with regards to” or “with respect to”

I can’t quickly find an authoritative source other than OED which is paywalled. But in short it’s an abbreviation that dates back to the 50s

Build houses on the mountain peaks and treehouses in the forests, all linked together with a series of zip wires. I see no downsides to my plan.

I mean you joke, but the entire south of Germany is a bunch of (quote unquote) “towns” tenuously linked together through the mountaineous black forest, with broken train lines and excellent roads. They make it work by convincing themselves that a weekend cycle up a mountain with bouts of skiing in winter is what every person should do. And I agree.

If this isn’t the next Far Cry game, then Ubisoft deserves to go bankrupt.
