There's a shortage of nice places, so they will be rationed out, either by money or by politics and violence.

Has anyone considered making more nice places?

Almost all the examples of “nice places” I’ve seen on this post have been artificial.

That works, with a few caveats.

1. It takes time.

2. The places need to be intrinsically nice, not "generically pleasing to tourists at this moment" - those wear out quickly.

3. Popularity breeds popularity, so the tried-and-true sites stay popular.
