即使不是公衛健康學者或者醫師，一般人大概也都能想像居住環境對人的影響。就像前陣子風靡全球近藤麻里愛推崇的”spark the joy”空間美學，極簡、乾淨的空間，反映的是居住者的內心狀態。而在疫情肆虐、社交距離成為共識的時候，人們被高樓大廈都市生活壓抑許久的，對開放空間、新鮮空氣以及自然的渴望，可說是在各州「暫停」期間被推到了巔峰。當人們紛紛「逃離」都市的同時，過往都市人所驕傲「鄰近 (propinquity) 」的好處彷彿瞬間成了夢魘。 這樣一場疫情，是否會帶來美國另一場都市規劃(zoning)的革命？而作為地產投資者，又應該怎樣看待這些新的前景？ ... 被擁擠間接殺死的科利爾兄弟 事實上，擁擠封閉的生活空間確實害人不淺。 例如惡名昭彰的科利爾兄弟(Collyer Brothers)，就因為堆積收藏物品的癖好導致他們在紐約哈林區的住宅充滿物品。最終兄弟倆死於飢餓、心臟病、以及被自己的陷阱困住，而警方竟然花了五小時挖掘各種物品才找到屍體，而房子裡最後發掘出 百噸重的各種物品與垃圾 。 至今紐約的消防員都還戲謔稱呼這種房子擁擠充滿各種物品的人「科
