TL;DR: There’s a lot of unused space in North America. Yet cities like San Francisco are becoming ever more expensive because of a bubble created by high tech jobs that seemingly can be done anywhere.

The age of infrastructure rising around physical resources is declining while the age of digital resource exploitation is rising.
