Re: Welcome to MegaCity
Yeah of course increasing urbanization is a move away from environment, we’ve seen that time and time again with species in droves becoming exinct. If it’s not cutting down trees for us, it’s indirectly for us thanks to pharmaceutical companies. Someone was scouting a forest for an AIDS drug and think they had found it but when they went back, I think after a day, it was gone and they thought it had become extinct. Luckily they found it somewhere else.
And suburbia is no better. Isn’t Edward Scissorhands, the movie, warning enough? God, ugly ugly suburbia. Closed communities. Virtually identical houses. Not In My Backyard syndrome.
Never heard of the movie nor the AIDS story. The question is though will social and religious tensions increase with the close proximity of so many people together? Again applied to all.
