      PORTABLE REAL ESTATE No more mass population movements to find a new homeland. Just pick up your homeland and move it somewhere else. Too crowded? Build add-ons to your homeland. There's always more space rocks.

      real estate is only contextually valuable, which is why people keep trying to cram into NYC but aren't in any hurry to snap up cheap land in the Dakotas

      buddy, then it would be Mongolia Mongolia may be sweet if that's your thing--certainly a long history of portable real estate--but it is obviously not "valuable" in the sense we normally use for real estate (the most valuable parts are, surprise, the cities)

      Why is a city valuable Because it's got infrastructure and people If all of those things were mobile, its value would not be tied to it's location

      why did people go there and not somewhere else why did infrastructure get built there and not somewhere else you're not thinking about this question as seriously as you should be: why ARE cities valuable?

          wow three rivers which only fell within "Beijing municipality" when the CCP redefined that area to encompass some 6,400 square miles of land, largely rural and well outside the historic confines of the city

          On the planet Earth a city is formed because it's centrally located But in space, you can move ur city once it's established, and you can move it from central location to central location as needs dictate. This is not complicated Alex I need you 2 employ some imagination with me

          Centrally located to what? I notice that Paris is not at the center of France, nor NYC at the center of the USA, etc etc... think about this harder man--why do we have cities? why do some cities just keep growing while others fall off after a while, and others never start?

          Centrally located within whichever context you can figure out as contributing to the growth and development of a city through population flow and commerce dude I know you're not this retarded you need to employ some epistemological charity

          "centrally located" then is a placeholder term you're using to sub in for a certain factor that you can't define more precisely--please, give this issue more thought!

          I know you haven't thought out what you're talking about, and that this makes it easier to indulge in flights of fancy. People are very used to discussing cities with cliches, instead of actually thinking about them!

          space autists are nibbas of low ambitions. if I'm to be fanciful (and fancy is all this is), let us have tardigrade-laced DNA that mitigates environmental hazard, THEN it gets interesting.

          There's a reason people live in cookie-cutter sprawls when they could be in vibrant walkable mass-transit neighborhoods. Some people need elbow room.

          As our laws and culture encourage inner cities to become this way, we don't have cities that can escape this. We need more competition, to drive innovation.
