The world of the future would be full up,
jam packed and sardine style with good things, loveliness and all round happy-making stuff. Diseases conquered , poverty fixed up and wars a thing of the past...

Now usually, the QOTW would disarm any such idiot notion but his one...well, it's actually rather sweet and refreshing. I suppose it's too good to last but I'm gonna sit and bathe in its happy ill-informed glow until it breaks.

And even you, you pointless tourette's response twats - you can't kill my nostalgia.

It will be full up, but with 99% of the population crammed into 1% of the land.
And electricity, running water and roofs over heads that last longer than six months will all cost an arm and a leg, so they'll be really agressive and stink to high heaven.

Oh I know, but still I can dream. I mean, here in Canada there's so much space the whole population of the world could move here and I'd still not notice. But the dumb fucks would still want to live in cities that give them half of what they need and create analogues of the misery they left behind.

I've seen the slums (even the biggest one in the world once and at close range) and they are most likely the real future.

A beer, I think.

Slums are great.
Seriously.

They use land very efficiently; they don't require people to spend huge chunks of their waking lives commuting; they foster strong communities. For sure, they have their problems - not least poverty and poor sanitation - but there's a lot city planners could learn from the way slums work.

Tower blocks
are an even more efficient use of the land.

Personally, I don't fancy either.

My hunch is that, if the next century or so is going to be bearable,
what people fancy is going to have to be sacrificed on the altar of what's possible, sustainable, and just.
