> Cities face inevitable scaling limits. The scaling limits being reached in CA are completely self imposed ones that have tested to the limit just how far it is possible to sprawl a city. All the way into the central valley it turns out. > There has always been regional inequality of opportunity, but never to this degree. This has been happening since people first settled in permanent locations. The trend isn't going to stop and the only way to reverse it would be to interfere pretty strongly with the market. What are you going to do, set up a central government agency that tells citizens where they can and can't live? That says how many "computer companies" are allowed to exist in a city and ban anyone from starting a new one? It's a fair observation but it's a pointless one that distracts from reality and actual solutions.
