“Capable of growth” and “not finite” are not the same thing.

I'm using 'finite' in the same colloquial sense as GP:

But urban land is finite in every sense in which land is finite, so no matter what sense the poster was using it in regard to land, you are incorrect to say urban land is not finite.
American policy makers have chosen policies (eg zoning law) that make it easy to produce valuable urban residences. Now they have a massive competitive advantage in high-end residences, so of course they will become exporters.
