The Clearfielder Of Utah

This is about my (most of the time) boring life in Clearfield, Utah

I am going to make a goal right now to post at least two times a week, so if you ever have any ideas for me please tell me. I may be super awesome and creative but even I will have a hard time thinking of things to write on. I will also try to post at least one picture per post, but that might not happen.
Responding: -What is your opinion on having a limit on # of children (such as china)
My opinion for pretty much everything is it all depends. I don’t think there is a universal law for everything and everyone, for something to be effective it has to cater to the specific situation. But for China, I do think that it is necessary. China has way too many people and if they didn’t do anything about it, they would be stacked like anchovies on top each other. They are almost to that point anyways. People argue about Planned Parenthood saying we need the continuation of our species, hull-lo! We have nearly seven billion humans on this planet; I don’t think that’s going to be a problem. I remember when I was little and they would say there were only five billion people on Earth, that’s nearly two billion in what, eight years? But for like Montana, it has plenty of space to offer so they wouldn’t need a restriction.
My philosophy is we should build up instead of out. It’s far more effective in my opinion. Building up saves space and if built right, more energy efficient. I’m not saying it doesn’t have its downsides, but I do think it has more upsides than down. Building up would give more space for farming food and solar energy fields. And if it is more than just a residential building than you could just go down and get your food or shopping instead of getting in the car a polluting the air. I designed this super massive skyscraper that is a small city. There was just the building surrounded by fields and fields of farms. It would be totally self-sufficient, no need for cars because everything is in the building, and no need to truck in food because it is surrounded by the fields. I hope that one day, this dream will become a reality.
In Utah we desperately need to start building up. We are very, very rapidly losing farm lands to housing development, and we are building businesses in a few central locations, making the need to have to travel to do or get anything. And we are keeping all these old houses from the ‘50s and ‘60s, they are not historical nor energy efficient so why bother to keep them? I made a plan on MS Paint to turn my whole neighborhood into an apartment complex and park. And I would post that picture, except that I can’t find it on my computer. On a boring and rainy day I even designed a public transit map for the Clearfield-Roy area (I can’t find that picture either)
Wow, I went off topic, but oh well. In conclusion I think that some places do need laws about how many kids you can have, because we just plain can’t fit all 7,000,000,000 of us.
