Eh, you can't slow an exponential growth with a linear gain in living space. There might be a lot of space out there but not nearly enough of the stuff we need to live in order to consider physical space the limiting factor. You might buy time but you'll run up against the familiar discomfort of too little living space again, and will have to downsize or expand out again before very long. Same as it ever was.
- soligern 3y agoWe’re not dealing with exponential growth in most of the world at this point. It’s on average around 2 in most places. So this would be a linear increase if that because the average is still dropping.
