Good reason it's desolate. Last time I was in Wyoming, it was probably 35 degrees below zero, and the wind was blowing probably 50 mph. The door on my vehicle was almost ripped off when I opened it at a stop in a tiny town.
This one?:
What you say is true, but the issue is overpopulation, not living in Nirvana.
Of course it's true.
In addition, no one I know lives in Nirvana. It's kind of nice to earn a living, and most can't do that living on empty, rocky, wind swept plains with no jobs in sight.
If I could make a living living, support my family in a town of 200 people, 60 miles away from any economy to speak of, I might consider it.
But that isn't possible for me, and probably 80 percent of people.
That's why I said, the areas of good economies, good climates, harbors, resources, etc, etc are all but full up.
Why do you think empty, desolate land, far from any economy is generally dirt cheap?
