If people adapt, there are still options for life in ex-agricultural communities. Small-scale farms can make excellent environment for tourism, as many city dwellers don't exactly enjoy living in a city, and want some peace on their holidays. Remote work is also a possibility for an increasing number of people.
Smaller post-industrial cities could also be a good option for commuters, if they are located close enough to big, living city. Many are not, which admittedly is problematic.
- whatevaa 3y agoSmall scale farms as tourist destination is a wet dream, and remote work is shrinking (personally affected by this). You can think of many utopistic ideas, but reality hits like a train.
- thriftwy 3y agoRural tourism is definitely a thing. The problem is that the countryside used to feed and employ half of the population until very recently. The large city will unlikely consume that much rural hospitality services. So only a token amount of rural population will remain, especially if these lands have subpar productivity, as is the case around Moscow and Madrid and Beijing and likely Berlin as well. Or in the original 13 colonies?
- smackeyacky 3y agoA massive chunk of people fleeing the equator to me looks like increased scarcity of habitable places. Not “realty”. In one sense sure, craholes rendered unlivable by climate change will still be listed on websites for sale.
