> This policy and societal failure of squeezing every bit of wealth out of the new generation and not giving them anything will eventually drain cities of young people and those cities will be left behind as times change with the newer generations. The cities will miss out on culture, societal change, modernity, eventually of sheer people. See San Francisco, New York, Seoul, etc. It doesn't seem like countries are treating this as the problem it is and I fear for the future of all these currently-popular cities.

Or.. we will have smaller populations. It's difficult to cite new cities. The US ostensibly has a lot of land area to make new cities - but if you get into the details there are a variety of reasons that the existing cities are where they are (including wildfire/water risks).
