Are you talking about the North Sentinel Islands? > disregarding hundreds of thousands wanting exactly the same thing at the same place Sure hundreds of thousands would like to live, yes. Doesn’t mean it all have to be the same place. People want to live where they can find jobs.

North Korea? Pretty sure some central apartments or houses in Pyongyang are accessible only for the elite (which may have different mechanism to obtain than just having enough cash but logic is same - many many want to live there, only the top gets them). There are few other countries. The point is, it doesn't matter. Jobs and services are centralized to cities or their outskirts, thus folks move in. The only reason why properties cost there so much. Not sure what are you even trying to say with your last sentence, pretty self-contradictory. If all could work 100% from home we would see suburbia explode in prices and development. Not happening in way I mean this century, cities are growing as fast as possible (and some more, thanx to also people like you).

  > Not sure what are you even trying to say with your last sentence, pretty self-contradictory. Not self contradictory at all. The sentence i was responding said hundreds of thousands want all to live “at the same place”. But they don’t all want to live “at the same place”. They just want to live at a good place. Mainly one where they can find a job. If we create more good places to live at they will be happy to live at the other good places. Instead of concentrating all the economic activity to a few places we could incentivise many smaller towns with good jobs so not everyone needs to live “at the same place”. > If all could work 100% from home we would see suburbia explode in prices and development. Didn’t say anything about working from home. Not sure what you are arguing against here. > thanx to also people like you And what does that supposed to mean?
