We need higher density zoning, and better public transport.
Hubs of high density housing joined by good public transport is, IMO, the answer.
Urban sprawl certainly isn’t it.
Experts have said for years we need more social and affordable housing. So where is it?

All we need is to force businesses out of the cities. IT will solve transport problem big time. There is no need for cities anymore.

Three reasons why cities/‘large conglomerations of people and technology’ remain necessary,
Communications infrastructure still has large costs. Decentralisation is good, but the costs do increase, there is a balance point between the extremes. Lemmy and the wider fediverse is a great example of a search for that balance point.
Network effects, alone with my own thoughts i’m a scrub with a mug, together with others help those thoughts can become gems.
Company towns, an extreme but possible outcome, are a bad idea. It is a monopoly using geography and societal connections to reduce the competitiveness of your employee base.

When start seeing how much money goes to “illegal settlement project” in Palestine, coming from countries that going through housing crisis, you know it is fucked up already and there is no cure other than absolute revolution.

The problem is not that there isn’t solutions, it’s that there is zero political appetite to implement them.
