I'd argue the pandemic rural flight exemplified precisely how much everyone values the vibrance and density of cities: when quarantine put a pause on the vibrance and nullified employment proximity, everyone had only affordability to select for. And when the vibrance returned, so did the residents. https://ncrc.org/the-washington-post-americans-are-returning...

Epic has had a significant influence on Madison's economy but I'm pretty sure hosting one of the country's larger universities and state government have played a greater role in its growth than any private investments. It's Madison's consequently vibrant culture that makes its housing competitive.

I love this framing of the dynamics, as a cultural concern as much as an economic one, because it cuts to the chase in a way that the AGI or open/closed themes never seem to. The extent to which anyone cares about the internet or software more broadly can only really achieve parity with past and present realities; there is no meaningful transcendence beyond the viscera of human experience because -- like trees in the forest -- we can only care about what we care about. And what has made the world a truly great place is not post-humanist striving but the connective tissue of culture that gives us access to other people, great artists and pedestrians alike, who are just like us, real. Everything else is a vice.
