There will always be something we want, but can't have. It's human nature, I would argue. As soon as we push one boundary, another horizon presents itself.
Once we eliminate all the "simple" causes of scarcity, we'll soon be on to the next group. Some things probably won't present themselves as limited until they become scarce.
One example I like to think of: Land, it is currently abundant, to the point of ridiculousness based on our population. However, land near X (city, hospital, family, etc), is pretty limited. This is caused by unique local/contextual reasons. Not every city can have a beautiful ocean sunset, not every city can have a giant canyon in the middle that provides a unique nightlife of weird depths.
