You reasons mostly date to the era from 1910 to 1960. The era from 1960 to 2010 matters too, and that is more about outsourcing. The USA already subsidizes airport service for these locations. Increasing that might be worthwhile. The same goes for good internet connections and many other services. It's like the rural electrification done a century ago. The schools are sometimes better than the urban ones. Often there are pros and cons that could be considered to even out. We can expand Teach for America if need be, but I think things are mostly fine already.
