It may be good that they don't make room then. I wonder if the US would just become a group of 3 or 4 large sprawling city-states.

- SllX 5y agoSFBA (maybe w/ Sacramento Area and Monterey Bay Area), Greater LA, Seattle Area, Portland+Vancouver and that’s just the West Coast. Add in the 4+ in Texas, two or three different parts of Florida and we haven’t even touched on the Northeast or Midwest still. Nah, the US would not become merely 3 or 4 large sprawling City-States. For all of us city dwellers, there’s plenty that want nothing to do with anything that resembles a City.
- mactrey 5y agoIsn't it weird to use the word "sprawling" here? A world where major cities are affordable would be more dense. It would be easier to preserve land for its natural beauty. The US today is sprawling.
