If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
Notes for future OT posters:
1. Please add the 'open_thread' tag.
2. Check if there is an active Open Thread before posting a new one. (Immediately before; refresh the list-of-threads page before posting.)
3. Open Threads should be posted in Discussion, and not Main.
4. Open Threads should start on Monday, and end on Sunday.
I think most places where people want to live don't fulfill the criteria of their being "a reasonable amount of free space".
Where people want to live depends on where other people live. It's possible to move away from bad Nash equilibria by cooperation.
