I grew up in Appalachia and the biggest thing in my opinion is the lack of economic migration. After I spent a year teaching computer science remotely in Eastern Kentucky I decided we need to not spend another $ on building up the area but instead help people move away. --- Edit spelling wording

The middle of the country is of value. Depending on your politics, it is a place of safety from either ocean intrusion or SLBM launches.

Water shortages and pollution are trouble already. Packing in more people just makes things worse.
