This is an open discussion. I am going to throw out inhabitable land. The good cannot be subsidized.

Demand will grow - and grow and grow - as it gets scarcer.  I'm talking about water.

Here in SW Missouri, people have to drill 10 their wells up tp 10 times deeper than they had to drill them 20 or 30 years ago.  I wish I were exaggerating.  If the same fall in the level of the water table happens over the next 20 or 30 years, in many places where there are now trees there will not be.  

And what this beautiful area looks like after that?  I'm glad I won't live to see it.

I wouldn't call it scare, but clean drinking water is a resource that the perception of abundance can change to a perception of scarcity extremely quickly if the right political/social/enviromental factors occur simultaneuosly.
