Because gravity is good (was Why don't they do it that way on Earth?)

*"gravity helps people work faster"
That depends entirely on the specific type of work being done- IT, secretarial , data entry and waldo-work can all be done as easily or easier in freefall as under Earth G.

*"Earth-gravity is good"
Again, this depends entirely upon whom you ask- personally, millions of us would strongly disagree with this statement. For those of us who are disabled with bad backs, severe arthritis, and other gravity exacerbating maladies Earth Gravity is a decidedly BAD thing.

*"Vertical cities are not impossible on Earth"
While this may be true in theory, in practice youll find far more vertically oriented cities in space than on Earth where gravity selects against extreme verticality.

No. Quote me.

I said essentially what you just said, which is:

"gravity helps people work faster"

"Earth-gravity is good"

"Vertical cities are not impossible on Earth"
