yes but I think the physical side of CRD is just one aspect (albeit a big one) The work to create the worlds is ongoing and while I imagine people will relocate there eventually there is no rush. Also its been cited that the CRD stuff will create jobs. Its not even slightly clear what kind of jobs those are at the moment though...

I personally suspect many will be in the packing, shipping and delivering industry from whats been said so far but with this being such a grand effort I can imagine more or less any job can exist from high level games programmer to the guy who keeps the floors clean. By all accounts CRD will be an epic place.
