I lived in shitty apartments that cost a king's ransom before I escaped to the suburbs. Magnasanti reminds me of those. An extortionate real estate situation can absorb all of the benefits brought by density, and more besides. It's great for the slumlords -- or, more accurately, the real estate investment trusts representing the interests of the Magnasanti quadrillionaires -- but it sure sucks to be a drone stuck in their factorio game. Why should I want that?
