      …But nobody wants to live there.

      You could give a bunch of homeless people housing, but there’s simply no structure around it. They have no money, and there’s no jobs. There’s no services around. They won’t be much better off than homeless in a big city tbh. Might be WORSE off.

      There needs to be available housing near the places where there’s actually things to do, jobs to hold, services to use.

      Worst part is, I bet a LOT of those ghots towns are suburban, not urban - so it makes it more difficult and expensive to build up a new community there. Everything is spaced out

        Forgive my ignorance; I don’t know much about Siberia other than it is desolate and not much fun. How did that turn out?

      You need jobs near those places first. The locations are dying because of lack of industry.
