> We don't build new cities way far away in the middle of nowhere, because building new cities is expensive At some point it has to be cheaper than upgrading infrastructure for ever-growing cities and implementing all kinds of harmful artificial restrictions e.g. on traffic just to support increasing population numbers in exiting metro areas. > there's no jobs in the middle of nowhere. Many factories are in the middle of nowhere and I don't see why one couldn't build and fill office space when cheap attractive housing and well-planned infrastructure is available nearby. The reason why don't do it is more likely because most western countries have become stagnant and inefficient at large projects.
