Woe to you that join house to house and lay field to field, even to the end of the place: shall you alone dwell in the midst of the earth?
Ibn Ezra

Till there be no place. Till they have taken away every place. הושבתם That you may be placed. Hophal of a verb ;פ״י comp. והורד and it was taken down (Num. 10:17)
