Fair enough, and I was a bit snarky in my response. I still have to wonder, if it’s not worth the hassle for a representative individual to move somewhere safer, why we’d expect it’s worth a greater hassle (both individually and the coordination cost) to create a new town. Is this the case where rabbits are negative value so stags are the only option (reference: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/zp5AEENssb8ZDnoZR/the-schelling-choice-is-rabbit-not-stag)? I’d love to see some cost/benefit estimates to show that it’s even close to reasonable, compared to just isolating as much as possible individually.
