Actually, my new BFF* is from Germany and her husband grew up in the countryside. Shockingly, not everywhere in Germany is a giant plattenbau with crampt DDR-esque apartments, but there are actual single family homes and normal sized apartments.Why do you think the German rail system is good? It's well managed and has significant government and public support? :-) Coincidentally, the high taxes on petroleum and rigorous driver licensing programme keeps questionable people off the road, while proper planning and low crime prevents middle class flight and sprawl. FWIW, given their population size, they'd need some degree of density otherwise, they would lose valuable agricultural land and be forced to import food. *Which you'd know about if I was invited over more often. :-) |
