What is this based on? Tokyo, Jakarta, Manila and Los Angeles are more or similarly seismically active as San Francisco [1].
> They do exist, but no one wants to live in those areas
Because they’re fundamentally less productive. Natural harbours, fertile soil, striking vistas—each is related to geography, geology and economic potential. Landlocked, sterile, featureless terrain is less productive, less appealing and less valuable than natural port near volcanic soil and new mountains.
