Right on the money, Chuck. The forces on builders are similar to the forces on Walmart. If nobody comes to buy there is no store. It is simply a reflection of buyers desires. Builders guess where people want to live and if they are wrong they do not make the mistake again.
Trying to get people to move to the city is a common cry for control of growth on open land. It apparently does not work since the buyer chooses where he will live, not the builder.
The only way to control development is to control birthrate and immigration.
Now, how do I know that?
Most indigenous species both plant and animal are just here longer than we are so we don't know how they got here and assume they were always here. We usually refer to nonindigenous species as ones that man has brought in.
