Although the "death of distance" hasn't happened as fast as expected/hoped, maybe it's too soon to give up on it.
Trying to kill distance might be crazy. But is it crazier than trying to cram even more jobs, people, and housing into a tiny % of the available area?
Geographical income inequality exists. Maybe it always will, and maybe we can't make it much better. But why should we try to make it even worse?
Seems to me this equation has a couple "V" variables -- VR and VC -- to which small adjustments might make a large difference.
