but as you said, these information workers nees these services provided by city, so where will they move to? and if these services are sustainable only by economics of scale, you cant expect to just move out of the city to neatby area but still use city services time to time. its similar to all discount stores probaby. you can have them only because there are a lot of poeple buing non-discount things, and you get the leftovers. if everyone would only by at discount stores, the music would stop soon and game would be over.
- betwixthewires 4y agoMost of the services provided by the city are provided precisely to manage the problems created by the city. You don't need complex wastewater sanitation and management if you don't have a thousand people living in one building on top of an acre of land. You don't need a subway to get around wide open spaces. The services I was referring to though were private services. Bodegas, burrito shops, dry cleaning services, taxi cabs, all of these go out of business if office workers don't walk or drive by them en masse daily.
