Wow, this reads like dystopian science fiction. As I celebrate the holidays with my newly born human, I sure hope that more people start wanting to bet on brighter tomorrows and actually put some skin in the game.
My kiddo is celebrating their second set of holidays this year. I have many friends who espouse some variant of “I don’t want to have kids because I don’t want to pass on my ‘messed up’ genes/the world doesn’t need more people/some other sad excuse”. It makes me wonder what their lives will look like then they’re 40-80 years old.

I'm optimistic about the future but I can't see how's that related to have children. In any case, having children is putting someone else skin in the game, not mine.
We improve fiber optic connectivity in rural communities
We incentivize young families to move to rural communities

The main thing here is we break the unnecessary chains of offices and commuting and allow families to build where they have the space and want for them.
Cities are inherently isolating - space is at a premium - which means there is constant pressure to not expand in many different ways.
