I mean, in the scenario described where we literally can’t grow food in the surrounding land, it’s hard to say what the political landscape or legal institutions even looks like at that point.
Once people start going hungry and killing rich people then suddenly the rich will wake up and realize they have to do something, hopefully by then it’s not too late.
Just because a corporate asshole doesn’t put high monetary value to fuckin trees don’t mean they aren’t the literal biggest focal point for almost all human advancement.
Nigga you think we’d be even close to where we are without wood?
Not just that but wood is a nonrenewable fuckin resource removed. It don’t come back in our lifetime dumbass. Yeah it’s fucking natural but so is me ripping your asshole out your mouth removed.
Its less about affordability… and more about distribution models. Can you get stuff out to the suburbs in a way that makes sense? Do we need to even have the trational suburban model or can it be repurposed for agriculture? There are going to be a lot of people cramped into smaller spaces in the next century.
We’re a stones throw away from workers rising up anyway, so that’s a topic for another conversation.
We have the technology for indoor skyscraper style farming.
but not the political will nor legal ability to force landlords to allow it to happen.

Mankind is roughly 9 meals between civilization and chaos.
Landlords are not the problem there. Zoning regulations are.
Landlards are a problem everywhere.
Incentivizing people to build housing is a good thing, actually.
Yes let me use valuable resources to manufacture something that ALREADY FUCKING EXISTS
Honestly, wood isn’t that valuable.
Also we have an insane shortage of housing
And an extreme shortage of affordable housing.
Yes lack of supply with an increase in demand yields higher prices.
removed what?? You think trees aren’t valuable??

Some trees are valuable, especially at certain times of year. Wood is hardly scarce.
You seem to not understand the difference between important and valuable. Grasshoppers are important, but not very valuable.

Do you have any sources? I doubt we would see similar economies of scale compared to current farming.
There would be challenges, but again, the scenario we are discussing is a world where we literally can’t grow food in the surrounding land.
