That only postpones the problem. What needs to happen is getting people out of the culture of entitlement - you do not "need" your own yard, the playground in the middle of the block is plenty of room for your children to play in; you do not "need" your own car, efficient mass transit (buses and LRT) will get you where you need to go; and so on. (Yes, this assumes the existence of public green space and efficient mass transit... so those need to be built first.) And there's no reason affordable high-rises can't be built - developers do not "need" to make huge profits, they can make small profits instead.

them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
