A simple map of population density across the US should clearly show that lebensraum is not the problem indeed. It's more a question of places that are both desirable for the opportunities they offer, while being affordable.

lebensraum

Is this a loanword?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I don't think it's a loanword as such, hence my italicising it. I was using it as a reference to the nazi.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Yup, learned of that after.

Wikipedia is free, and just a click away.

I'm swiss german and Lebensraum is a word, which is why i asked. Who knew there's some nazi concept associated with it.

Thanks for the link!
