MMM.... let’s see, if we were not letting millions of illegals into the country then there would be no demand for more high rises to house these millions. Allowing low carbon consumers into a high carbon consumption nation will not help the Climate Change agenda.... using land in the countryside for high rises means less space for Wind Mills and solar cell farms... plus more demand for electricity, so the question becomes why allow millions in when it does not benefit anyone, well at least the vast major of Americans.
My California city has been mandated to build thousands upon thousands of new apartment buildings - which are going up on the peripheries of the city as I write this.
Never mind that we are under water restrictions here - with vans that go around and check to see if the sidewalks are wet - after a decade of drought.
Never mind that our electrical grid is past its breaking point and overloaded during heat waves - of which there are many during our long, hot summer and fall. I receive alerts constantly to NOT plug in large appliances, especially EVs during these times. Other cities nearby have mandated rolling blackouts.
Never mind that our freeways and local roads are jammed 24/7 every day of the year.
It seems none of these thousands upon thousands of new residents will need electricity, water and won’t further clog up our roadways. They’re coming here for a “better, more privileged life” that has been denied to them.
