The wide open places where there is no major city lack major cities because they are unsuitable sites. There isn't enough fresh water and/or the energy demands of logistics are unfeasible. Newsflash: we are not building brand new urban areas, and we won't be. People will continue to increase congestion and sprawl at the existing metropolitan areas. The ecology and quality of life will continue to degrade.
- seanmcdirmid 12y agoThere is plenty of fresh water and infrastructure in Kansas...it is not Nevada! We can probably double the number of cities in the USA no problem; we have the resources, we just lack the people. The USA is not China, where what you say is actually true (lack of arable land, resources, overcrowded cities, not much ability to build new cities because all the good space is already taken).
