To be clear, there is plenty of space for humans on earth right now. I'm not talking about in uninhabitable places, I mean in amazing fertile locations. Real world space is a luxury because of bad regulation in places with good governments and other places having bad governments

(you didn't imply otherwise, but I know there's a common misconception that space is running out and the world is overcrowded. It's largely not true)

Those places aren't where the money is. SF can't even get homeless people to move somewhere else.

Is SF expected to have its people without homes moved somewhere else as a solution to this social problem? What a bizarre notion, unless I misunderstand you.

Where's that amazing place ? O.o

Even outside of regulations, the biggest issue is access to (well paying) jobs. There may be land available to build affordable estates in tons of areas, but there are no jobs to work there to pay for it.

You would be surprised that someone will come knocking at your door for tax even if you're a hermit or a group of people developing the land.

Land is not free, and that plus buy in is a major obstacle for the moment.

Nomadic living is hated by every state on Earth too.
