Part of me cannot stop thinking that people should just stop converging where already too many people live. If you can only find a job in London or San Francisco, start looking for something else, somewhere else.
Megalopolis are wrong. Stop accruing them!
- vegancap 3y agoI don't actually live in London (there's no way I could afford to), I remote work in the midlands and get the train in to London every couple of weeks. But I do agree that everyone living in London and San Fran for decent wages is part of the problem. It essentially makes those places unaffordable to people who've lived their all their lives, and actually doesn't even make that much sense for tech workers for example, who could work remotely and live anywhere anyway

- dukeyukey 3y agoI'll stop living in a megalopolis when I can make a decent living outside the megalopolis. As it stands, friends who moved out of London over Covid are now trying to move back.
