#1 One more time for Central Planning imposed from on high to fail ...epically. I read reviews of a book many years about how the USSR 'planned' an archipelago of model cities above the Arctic Circle stretching through Siberia to the Pacific Ocean. The thesis of the book that the support of these artificial cities was levying up to a 20% drag on the entire Soviet economy -- missed opportunity cost, higher support cost and continuing costs from investing in a 'sunk cost fallacy'.

So people leaving is only rational... Now the Central Planners will build more pyramids to Progress and expect something different to happen this time.
