New cities face chicken/egg problem. Demand doesn’t exist unless there are jobs, schools, stores, infrastructure, etc but that gets developed after people move there. Thus cities grow organically, which leads to sprawl as infrastructure is too expensive/impossible to build later.

We have underutilized cities everywhere. I refurbish affordable housing in forgotten towns.

Take a drive through West Texas up SH 287. Between Ft Worth and Amarillo. Plenty of ghost towns waiting. Turns out besides highways, airports and railroads, we’ve been ahead of the Chinese

US electorate doesn’t remotely have the stomach to see govt build entire cities that sit empty for a decade. Hell, they can’t stomach building High Speed Rail that isn’t Y1 profitable.

When someone makes fun of ghost cities I point out how incredible it is that they have *spare cities*. Imagine we have an extra Cleveland just sitting around for when we want it
