You have BEEN to Manhattan, yes? It's a Piranesi hemmorhage of waste and inutility. It's a global potlatch of fractal cementitude. Density? It's a livin', breathin', DEATH STAR TRENCH! It's REAL, it's phenomenological; probably edging currently towards 'eschatalogical'. It would indeed be fabulous were it even remotely 'environmentally sustainable', but it would also be similarly fabulous if it were a rotating sphere of water, filled with psychic Yoga dolphins who all ate scrap laptop batteries and shat Schubert sonatas. GOOD LORD MAN! GET AHOLD OF YOURSELF! I’ll take that bet, knowing there’s no way on earth; on this one, or even on several others.

I bet we can do it. How fabulous it would be to achieve that kind of density in an environmentaly sustatainable way. I bet we can do it.
