It scales just fine. The continental USA can hold about 200000 of these, with a total population of 6 to 12 billion. (hey, that's everybody!)

Scale by making more cities, not bigger cities.



Heresy!

If you don't live in SFO or NYC you're doomed to a miserable existence of restless toil.


I know you say this in jest, but I'll be damned if this isn't a sadly predominant attitude among people I know.


If NYC was such a bad idea, why is it a massive portion of the US economy?


It's not a bad idea. There's just a few hundred million of us that don't want to live there/that way. I'm happy for everyone that does want to be there.


I didn't say it was a bad idea.

But... a significant percentage of professional jobs are in the NY Metro area, but not in the movie ideal NYC environment.
