Not to mention the land often involved, or the economic competition for resources.
When the U.S. gets anywhere near running out of land this might be an issue, but we aren't even in the ballpark. There are more than enough land and housing resources in the U.S. for a hundred generations to come. The vast majority of homes aren't built on previously undeveloped land and are not new construction anyway, so I don't see how that is even an issue.

This isn't about "the planet's health" but it's about some people wanting to impose their views onto others. I'm surprised that this is coming from people on this site...
