Think they can’t get to ~90% again? Or think we’re closer than this chart suggests already? Would love to know stacker thoughts…
Good question.
The only way humanity survives is leaving the solar system, since without Earth, all we have here are dead rocks, gas giants, and shitty little moons.
I think this is a fascinating question for the other major metros.
I've heard people argue that NYC will crack down eventually, because that's where all the big finance companies are. That seems reasonable enough, but what about San Francisco or Seattle?
It's hard to imaging people in cities like that going along with any serious anti-crime measures. On the other hand, it's very easy to imagine that people will continue moving away from these cities as conditions get worse and worse.
I know there will be an inflection point somewhere, but I don't think we're close to it yet.

Foreword by Jeff Booth
"The IMF and World Bank were created to help countries survive financial crises and to help them develop into prosperous economic actors. But their 75-year track record shows the opposite: their loans and structural adjustment policies have plunged poor countries into impossibly large debt traps and forced the Third World to focus on producing goods for consumption in the West, instead of growing consumption and industry at home".
