Well, most industries are far larger than houses and employ more people than
live in a typical house. So you can argue that there ought to be a lot more
houses (even factoring out apartments).
But houses by the millions are boring, so if you want an interesting layout,
skew the proportion in the interesting direction...

| (...) I agree. However, you can sometimes get around the skew by building an interesting apartment complex in your city layout, or have taller buildings with living space on top of street level stores. -Dave www.bricktannia.com (24 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.town)
