However much sympathy I feel for the budding field of bitcoin urbanism, imo conservatism or traditionalism is not the way to go. Educate yourself further and look at the work of giants like Rick Joy (in the US) or Zumthor (Europe) for examples of low time preference modernism. Yes, the urban hellscape of (especially) the US needs to be thoroughly transformed. But let's not regress into the trap of rustic nostalgia ("beauty"). Further thoughts: -Most stick-and-cardboard construction will not survive anyway; nature will take care of that -Higher density building will be inevitable, contra the american dream -Slow, organic adaptation of existing structures rather than new production (basically the message of Chuck Marohn). @tuur @kelly
