Isn't this a little unrealistic? I mean, more than half of the world population is living in cities! Who wants to go back to the nature? Its boring. No night clubs, etc.

True. Paying greater attention to natures constraints would lead to increased boredom for many. There would be diminished excitement in many areas -- fewer high intensity hurricanes, decreased likelihood of catastrophic global warming and less stress for those unprepared for resource peaking (most of us -- especially those living in cities). Imagine how it used to be fun when the tribe was surounded with wolves, and had to fight them. Now, I have to go to the zoo, and there is no fun. Wolf is just ignoring me, although I would love it to jump on me - that is - on the fence between us! Not only that people would be more bored, but they would have less time to get bored, because in the past people used to live much shorter due to less developed medicine, mass deseases, rough weather conditions without modern ways to heat homes etc... If we can still have all of our modern comforts today, yet live in treehouses in giant trees, that would be awesome.

To be honest, after living in a city all my life, then leaving to train in the military for half a year, then coming back home, I feel there is a lack of space and nature in the city, and I miss the fresh air. The city looks incredible at night with all its lights when I viewed it from the airplane in the sky. At the same time, it appears as if nature was rusted over.
