Stuff doesn't make us happy, people do. It's always been like that. If we spend less time with people, in person, we will be less happy.

    Also nature. It's clinically proven that living your life surrounded by barren concrete fucks you up.

    People like having pets and growing houseplants, just cuz, and both have been shown to do a lot of good, mentally. But we really should be bringing nature into our cities much more than we do right now.

    But investors like shiny glass and concrete!

    Aside from worsening the mental state by deprivation of nature, it also is more vulnerable to flashfloods, the heat is much worse in summer and the air quality is worse all year round.
