Absolutely nothing about our march into the future has made things more local. I'm going to need more evidence to believe this will be any different.

- bryanlarsen 6y agoReal estate pricing has become more local
- whbrown 6y ago[citation needed] If anything, the cause of the most recent real estate crash (and subsequent rise) was the overwhelming covariance of real estate trends throughout the country/developed world.
- ianai 6y agoAgreed. Though, I could imagine a RE market correction breaking the correlations - if only through bankrupting the market players forcing that correlation. i.e. I'm in rural America seeing commercials for cash RE buyers from mobile applications. That's got to be indicative of factors correlating markets intimately. I'm also wondering whether this indicates new factors actually creating connections between markets that weren't previously there - or simply hubris.
- ianai 6y agoAgree to too large an extent for my comfort. Things like Facebook and Twitter, for instance, have basically made anything posted globally viewable. Everything posted on those platforms is globally viewed and, it seems, global viewership is even reinforced or even enforced (through 'outrage mobs' looking for the latest thing to be upset and 'go viral' over, etc). edit-Here's a potential factor to make energy local - but just a supposition: A desire for power to be generated at smaller, localized scales. i.e. Power becomes near-free through the use of tiny nuclear plants - so tiny even your most stalwart against it perceives it as safe enough at that tiny scale.
