This is one possibility, but I don't see it as the feasible move. I think we'll only see an extreme move of what history already supports; the rich flocking toward natural surroundings while the poor remain in filthy and disease-ridden cities. As more of us are packed into condos and apartment buildings, we'll only continue to see a reduction in the number of houses built in cities, with the wealthy living far from any contamination of financial lepresy. And who can blame em? Cities have always been places for the poor.

Alphanumeric, as oxymoronic as it may sound, wouldn't it be logical to conclude that our Reer Miyi are envied by the Rich, thus, Reer Miyinimo is the life style the rich really look forward to, but instead of little huts made out of Goat/Cow skin, the Rich will build Environmentally friendly homes in areas where the Poor won't be able to survive. They'll be able to grow their own natural crops and whatnot, while the 'poor' get to live on genetically engineered meat, vegetables, fruits, milk and not-so-pure water, in a polluted environment.

Reer Miyi? But, judging from your description, unless sarcastic, I'd have to agree. Of course the wealthy will be well equipped to produce natural foods with much more ease.

Makes a lot of sense. If I was rich I'd wanna be on the beach, coast with a bunch of other rich people rather then inland with poor folk.
