Sort of? I wouldn't want to cover a ton of the planets surface with low rise suburbs, and the hinterland requirements for cities are vast.

okay, for now I'll just continue to live in a tent in some Berkeley NIMBY's backyard for $50/week while I pick up whatever small time gig-app contract jobs I can. You've convinced me to look at the bigger picture. Our generation really doesn't deserve to benefit from any solutions anyway.
Well, it won't, but it's fun to fantasize about! Plus, who cares about homeless people now when we're comparing them to potentially trillions of future humans.
