    nah. you can live in the city if that’s what you like. i’ll do what i like. do you really want to alienate non-urban liberals?

    depopulation is a possible alternative to preventing swarms of sprinter vans too. you really don’t want to put everyone in a city.

      I’m not trying to alienate anyone, I’m trying to understand why low latency gaming needs for digital nomads is worth the real downsides of providing such a service (scientific, GHG, atmospheric tinkering, etc). I also believe that we should leave a lot more of the earth alone and that nature matters. I’m not trying to put people anywhere, just recognizing there are pros and cons to different living schemes, humans are social creatures, and population of 2 areas don’t warrant large societal investments. I’m similarly against a hypothetical drone sushi delivery service for rural Canadadian boreal forests if that happens to have real downsides too.

        who said anything about gaming? what if you work remotely and can’t afford rent? what if you feel unsafe around gatherings of people (including small towns)?
