Oh, there's always a plan, right? There's always a plan for transportation. If there's one thing that people need is to be able to go from places to places. I mean, there's very few infrastructure systems as important as transportation for the economy. As people can go as far as possible, as fast as possible, it's probably one of the leading factors for the economy. So there's always a plan.

always i know one of your areas of expertise or that you're working on right now is depopulation can can you explain that depopulation means that your city is actually losing population all right so usually uh when you talk about infrastructure when you build infrastructure you always have a growth plan you're like okay now we have x number of people we assume that it's going to grow by one two three percent in the next you know few years um

And at some point, the opposite happens. So a city actually starts to lose population, and then you might need new infrastructure, but it's hard to justify it because there's no growth. There's actually, you know, you're shrinking. And so you're left with a lot of infrastructure that's now oversized, often that's aging, and that needs to be in maintenance, but there's no resources for it.

And what cities are shrinking? There's many of them. I actually published an article last year, and you can look at all the cities in the U.S. that are shrinking. Most of them are small, right? Most of them, there's usually a lot of media attention to when large cities are shrinking, like Detroit, but most of them are smaller.

A lot of people are going to the cities. The big cities. The big cities, yeah. And places like the US, pretty rich countries, usually the birth rate is pretty low. And so most of the publishing growth is coming from immigration. And when you have immigrants, usually they prefer to go to larger cities than smaller cities.

So the price really came down. It's actually in Israel, I think it's 80%, 70 or 80% of waters consumed in the country is coming from the sea. So it's absolutely possible. Before, we really tried many technologies and the one that works best right now is something called reverse osmosis. And so you really take, so you have a membrane

and it's very packed and it looks like it's impermeable like water can't get through but you have tiny pores but they're so small that only pure water can get through so you push that salt water you push it very very very hard against that membrane and then only the pure water gets through and you collect all that pure water

once you have it you don't distribute it yet because that pure water is good but doesn't have any minerals and humans need minerals so first you bond you you you put a bunch of rocks into that water so a lot of limestone to add minerals and then you distribute that water and you know you can consume it you can drink it in a city where there's all this infrastructure there's transportation and water and electric and gas and all that
