This basically mimics the decline of most rural areas in the US as well as parts of Europe. Declining services, population and job opportunities, even to the point where there's a marked difference in life expectancy. Unfortunately the future of the world seems like it's city based.
- rocky1138 8y agoUnfortunate, in your opinion. Personally, I love dense cities and really dislike suburban and rural living. Everything is so convenient and there is always something to do that doesn't require driving for 20+ minutes.

- volkl48 8y agoI don't think that it needs the qualification. You're looking at it as either/or. It's unfortunate that there's a decline in the lifestyle choices that will offer you opportunities and much of a future. In the past, the city, the suburbs, and the rural areas were all viable options for making a good living and being in a healthy community.
- acheron 8y agoHell is other people.
- oftenwrong 8y agoThe past of the world was city based as well. Low-density human settlement as the norm is, at least for now, unsustainable. We are living in an experiment.
