Well the reason I haven't moved is I haven't found jobs that wouldn't amount to a 75% reduction in pay, not because good paying jobs don't exist in the small towns, but because my skills don't qualify me for those jobs. As a result I'm weighing my options to get the necessary skills/experience to make the move. Nothing happens instantly, so to deny my claim that it is intolerable just because I haven't abandoned everything to move to a small town and take a job as a fry cook overnight, is disingenuous. And your assertion that "Density does make life better" is just that--an assertion, and exactly the kind of assertion that dismisses the opposing offhand that I was commenting about.
