No, the problem is that suburbs are the only thing we build anymore. Fresno has doubled it’s population since 1940 while 10x increasing it’s land usage.
Blame instagram and US television programmes for that. Even in Europe now everyone wants a house with a lawn, which is unfeasible and leads to a lot of frustration. Even if you're stuck in an apartment, it has to be "instagrammable", 10 year old kitchens are unacceptable. Oh and you just _got_ to have iPhones, otherwise you're an undateable nobody.
