That assumes you have an infinite city. However, unless you want to destroy the historical center of the city with skyscrapers, you do not have unlimited space for the housing to grow.
For example the whole group around beyondspacetime.net does that.
Another thing are systems like the one done by ATG - planning better routes for ships with multi-agent models. For example the paper Vaněk, Ondřej, Ondřej Hrstka, and Michal Pěchouček. "Improving group transit schemes to minimize negative effects of maritime piracy." IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems 15.3 (2014): 1101-1112.
Agree and, as I work for Seznam, especially agree on the ability to train models properly to satisfy local users. Not to mention that the user can choose what should be the language of the results.
Google is not the only search engine available. Bing has still a big market share in the US, Yandex in Russia, and Seznam in the Czech Republic. Nevertheless, the dominance of Google often means that SEO follows their ideas but often we see SEO masters adjusting to these search engines too because they want to reach also their users.
I am using Avast and prefered it over AVG which I tried earlier.
