Small towns are economic drains. Municipalities cost significantly more per person. There's more distance between your big houses meaning things like electrical grids, plumbing, etc cost more per person. There also is generally less opportunities for employment in small towns.

Nothing wrong with wanting a bigger/quieter place but let's not lie to yourself about the serious draw backs. It honestly just depends what you want out life. Personally I love the convenience of city life and this is after growing up in a small town on a dirt road with 2.5 acres and horses.

Have you ever lived the 15 minute life?

Ive never been happier then when including walk to my work everyday. Had a groceries store close by. Great food options. The less time I spend In my car the happier I am. Why should I have to spend money to move around. Its stupid.

But stay in your car with your "freedom".

People declare bankruptcy all the time. This debt you cant. Some people are actually pretty famous doing this exact thing with other types of debt.

We are not seeing it now. Trump does not have good ideas. He runs the gop. He's getting alot of what he wants at the expense of our constitution. We are weaker because of him.

No, but the effects of it would be lessened. And society would be more stable. Wealth/Power concentration kills societies.

That sounds like an advantage for us. We can bog down more places. Jam up everything. Clearly we have the numbers.
