another idea for an SF story

[lauralh]

If transporter technology across the planet were a reality...

night owl people would live in the east coast and work in CA

we could actually hang out with our net.friends

people would live wherever rent was cheapest and party/work wherever was best
but then of course, there'd be a ridiculous period where the midwest became crowded and NYC and London became ghost towns, till everything stabilized...

I would love to live in a big house in the Rockies somewhere, outside of town, work in Pasadena or Cupertino, spend my evenings in New York coffee shops/shows/clubs, and Saturdays bouncing around Seattle.

Every fourth weekend -- Prague or Amsterdam.
