Americans have trouble understanding something like that. We believe anything short of a 3bdrm house with a lawn and backyard is communism.

I'd love to live in a dense city. My office within waking distance. A Cafe in my apartment building, etc.

The US has district heating systems. The country is very big and varied, as much as people like to paint it as homogenous.

  • And district cooling.

    When I lived on a chilling grid, my summer AC bill was around $80, while friends whose buildings weren't connected paid $200+.

Then move to one?
