It takes about two acres of agricultural land to feed a human. Every single person in every single one of those apartments is using two acres somewhere else.
Instead of living comfortably in small settlements somewhere in the vicinity of those two acres, they have decided to move hundreds of miles away, and stack themselves in disgusting concrete blocks. The ground supports about 320 people per square mile; they’ve decided to miserably cram 50,000 of themselves into that same square, pushing out everything alive but the rats, cockroaches, and other vermin thriving on their detritus.
There should be more trees than windows through which to see them. When that ratio inverts, it’s time to call a demolitionist not an architect.
