As birth rates keep being a common topic, because you know you can’t have a future without kids. It is important to note that commutes are getting longer because of housing policy often builds housing away from workplaces, with people like Elon being opposite to shorter transits and Marc Andersson being opposed to building new housing near by him.
Turns out that helps lower birthrates besides housing prices because of longer commutes, and lower birthrates is having an nasty impact on the future
When I was younger, there were many American families that adopted Korean children. This is quite a difference over a single generation.
I’d imagine the trend holds through working remotely as well, but it would be good to have the data.
I wish we’d drop the term “fertility rates.” It makes it sound like a biological issue. The *birth rate* is going down because governments are making parenthood a non-option for lots of people based on a lack of free time and disposable income.
*Correlation does not imply causation.*
Working while living in the same region is indicative of stability. Once people have a job they will be staying for long, they tend to move to this region – and this when they have kids.
Maybe if we renamed 15 minute cities “have more sex cities”, there would be fewer conspiracy theorists against the concept.
I read “investigates the impact…” Right. Impact. Fraud. You cannot legally say impact. What I mean is, the highest performance person in the country doesn’t have to accept the study. And the picture is a wetwork city, meaning if they had the permission they’d get rid of some of it, but they can’t so they’re probably doing it unsyncopatingly. You could study fertility rates based on streets, or firtility rates based on optical filtering of windows. Who is the rich man in the tall building in the background?

Children have always been very hard work:
* Pregancy was dangerous for a long time
* Raising multiple children was very challenging to ensure all were looked after
But certain conditions are more conducive to larger families eg
* More space and living wage
* extended family society living in local communities
* People’s basics such as shelter, food etc managed by themselves more
The opposite to modern high density urban stressful environments.
If the rich start dying, maybe you can turn it around or a war
A woman spending time with her children makes our capitalist and socialist leaders butthurt. They want that woman spending her whole life energy working for them.
