Which suggests we will need to build new houses to satisfy all the demand. Which is exactly the question I was asking. How will those housing needs differ from today's? Will homes need more space for offices? play areas? gardens? bathrooms? Will multi-generational housing come back in-style to support elderly?

Another important discussion along those lines is the availability of fast, reliable internet.

Many people don't want to live in the sticks, they have a preference for where they already live.

Then they can enjoy their newly-lower rent.
