Trouble with this future is no one wants it. People love personal space, half of people who live in apartments would move into a house if they could. Give me a personal O’Neill cylinder with 300 sq miles not neo-Singapore.
the story of japan / tokyo is the precise opposite of this. i interviewed a wsj reporter on the subject - they are literally giving houses away in the japanese suburbs.

Sometimes people choose “less bad” and the train ride from the suburbs to Tokyo is miserable. What forces prevent Japanese companies from locating their headquarters in suburbia? If “job for life” is actually a thing, company towns make sense.

young people don't want to live in the suburbs. they want to live in cities. in tokyo they actually build housing, so young people can afford to buy property in the city. and i'm sorry but on what multiverse earth is japanese transit worse than american transit?
