There are other reasons to live in a city besides a job. I imagine that as we move toward a "jobless" future cultural and scientific output will increase, and you'll still want to be around the people who are doing the "cool stuff."
- aianus 10y agoYou'll want to, but you won't be able to afford it. In a future with UBI the city will be for employed people only.
- ebalit 10y agoBut you will have the choice. Also, I imagine that a jobless future will be heavily automated. Cheap autonomous transportation might expand the housing area with sustainable commute. Even more so if you can work remotely part-time and shorter hours.
- aninhumer 10y agoBut when you're not spending 40+ hours a week working, an hour long journey to do cool stuff isn't as big a deal. And besides, I think a most of the other people doing cool stuff will want cheaper accommodation as well, and over time particular kinds of cool stuff will congregate in different smaller towns.
