Right, and then you subdivide again and sell to squirrels, and then subdivide and sell to ants, and so on until you are selling to subatomic particles. What then?

This is just uncreative thinking. Diversify outside of the physical world. Ideas live rent free! Are you seriously going to sit there and tell me that that's acceptable?

You build up and down.

Have a look at Hong Kong - it's amazing seeing the 1960s building, the 1980s building and the more recent buildings next to each other and the height increase.

An alternate progression could involve exponential height growth, leading to every suburb eventually looking like a cluster of space elevators (and beyond).
