> Most people do not want to live more in tune with nature when it comes to living in it. I'll agree with you on that one; I hope that will change, esp. when easy flight becomes more available. > Cities are vastly superior to spreading out, in nearly every possible way. Cities are far more efficient. Cities produce far greater innovation due to concentration of ideas and the knock-on effects; generally speaking you get a multiplier for each person you add to a city. I disagree. WHAT is it that makes cities currently more efficient? It's proximity to all the things that make it great, which is the innovation. The concentration's utility that you speak of is only proximity. What other purpose does concentration serve? When flight is freely available to all, this will no longer be the case. Any 10-15 minute flight (far less than many city-dwellers' walking/subway commutes) will bring you to pretty much everything a city would offer you, but without the traffic, the noise, and with much more property and privacy. Of course, you will also have easy access to your immediate community around you. It's really the best of both worlds.
