But you can't force people into settling away from where they want to live - that's called China, a command economy.

If the economy was truly a free market capitalistic creature, I'd agree 100% with you. Supply and demand are the cornerstone of a free market economy. However, the beast we have has the outward appearance of a free market economy, however it is anything but due to so much manipulation at the hands of so few.
