the logistics of modern living make those regions wayyy too expensive.

There are no cities in the sahara or himalayas for that and other reasons. like its super hot. or super cold.

@most of you

You think too small.

If you're gonna understand and address these issues you have to stop thinking like yourself - the individual

In order to understand the fundamental and existential requirements for mass human civilization, you must think like exactly that, on terms of all humans, not the few, the tribe, or the town.

Human civilization was born near fresh water. Every city sits on 1+ rivers. Due to this, infrastructure was built near fresh water.

Yes, people can most certainly survive in small groups in hostile climates.

Now pick up new york city, right now, and drop it in the sahara. It'll be mad max tomorrow.

What you suggest is an untenable solution to a very real existential problem. There isn't room for all of us.

And if you really think there is room for infinite humans on earth, when can I move into your house and use your resources?

Drop new york city and an infrastructure to support it anywhere and it will be fine.

Regardless the is plenty of land. A population does not need to be on a river. That's just not relevant at all

fresh water is just where it started, obv

are you gonna build 100+ years of infrastructure in the sahara to support new york city? im not

are you gonna leave the comforts of whatever home you have made? im not

infrastructure didn't just pop into life, it took decades and centuries to evolve.

are you gonna pay for it? no one else is gonna, thats why there is no metropolis in super harsh climates, why no population of consequence lives there.

as time goes on more and more humans will feel entitled to the standard of living that we enjoy, and feel we are entitled to.

tech is likely to solve some of those issues, but there will always be a gigantic $$ sign.

You still think too small.

Its a valid question, if there is more than enough to go around, why won't you give me some of what you got?

I don't need to pay this mortgage when you already have a house, right?

It's childish nonsense only serving as to interrupt.
