The next big thing is NW Africa, and the rest of Africa after that. Europe is too citified and filled with NIMBY's. It suffers from the same problems as the USA does, only with worse and more complicated laws. Really, the next big slum will be London.

Yeah, 'cause Africa's such a fuckin' powerhouse thanks to its lack of regulation... NOT!

Cheap land along the coastline where the steady Atlantic seabreeze blows, no regulation against the raising of windmills, plenty of room for factories and housing. Physical windmills can put their power towards vacuum pump distillation of sea water setups for water supply for those cities. I saw some of this territory in a documentary about the Dakar rally and I pondered how it will eventually be developed. That's the smart way to do it, and it would be less trouble than fighting it in the EU with all those NIMBY's (NIMBY = Not In My Back Yard).

Yeah, you'd just have to contend with the Somalian pirates, the local thugs / "guerilla resistance army", scary mercenaries, coup plotters, etc, etc, etc. Oh, and you'd likely have to run some poor bastard of a tribe off their land what they've lived on for millenia. Just saying, is all...

Geography is not your strong suit, is it?

Well, let us all know how it works out :-)
