We have oodles of room. Every human - not families, but individual humans, including children - can get their own massive house, with a big back yard.

Here's my math: Back yard size: 15x40m = 600 sq m.

Public amenities per person = 300 sq m. (very generous)

Total space per human = 900 sq m. = 9e-4 sq km.

Number of humans = 8e9

Land required for this most ultimate of suburbs: 7.2e6 sq km

Surface area of Canada: 9.98e6 sq km. USA: 9.83e6 sq km.

In my absolutely absurdly overprovisioned scenario, we all fit in 72% of the admittedly very large Canada. ALL of us. Leaving plenty of room for every holiday-worthy place on earth to have all the AirBnBs and apartment-hotels needed.

> It's expensive

Investing public money to create amenities for tourism is going to be an economic no-brainer. Tourists, visitors, and locals will all benefit from it.

> Character will change

Everything changes all the time. The history of the world is a story of the character of things changing, whether happily or otherwise.

In a time of great change, desperately trying to slow it down isn't the way. Rolling with, and even initiating, the changes in an authentic way is much better.
