I'm not asking anyone to adopt a lifestyle, I'm advocating that we assist people relocating to a place where they have a semblance of a chance to prosper. Propping up slowly dying towns with subsidies in the form of EBT and social security/disability and Medicaid surely has less economic utility than putting programs in place that will help the people in dying towns find productivity elsewhere. I understand that people grow attached to their homes and their communities, but the idea that people are entitled to prosperity in the location of their choosing is ludicrous. With telecommuting and remote work it becomes more possible, but you've still got to close the skills gap between the (largely uneducated) rural small towns and economically productive cities.
