What about the old saw that population is increasing but square miles are not?
- ohazi 13y agodeveloped square miles are certainly increasing, developed land remains less than 1% of land that can be developed easily, and population is tapering.
- georgemcbay 13y agoAll things progressing about equally, we run out of affordable food and water for people long before we run out of space to house them. It is a lot easier to zone and build vertically for housing than it is for farming operations.
- seanalltogether 13y agoLand never spoils, but houses sure do. Land value will always increase as the population increases, but the house sitting on top of it starts rotting the day after you finish construction. Homeowners have to spend a lot of time and effort to prolong the life and value of a house.
