Most people need to live in a handful of big cities to find a decent paying job. Companies also stay there because they want to have access to a large talent pool. Meanwhile there is a ton of space un rural areas where in majority, only older people are left.
What would be a good solution? Massive construction? Incentives to move companies in more rural areas? I for one would love to have a high paying tech job in rural areas in my country, I dislike crowds but there are no companies there, all young people growing up here just migrate in drove to cities.
- nerfhammer 8y ago> What would be a good solution? Stop strangling cities by artificially limiting the housing supply there. Cities have always been the fundamental driver of human civilization.
- acomjean 8y agoWell a great transit system would really increase living options for those who need to work in cities. In Boston we're choking in part because its very difficult to get around, thus driving prices up significantly anywhere the commute is half way decent.
- imtringued 8y agoThere are three solutions: Build more housing to increase supply. Build less commercial real estate to curb demand. Build transit infrastructure so people can commute from somewhere else.
