There is a difference between wondering is something would have an effect, and avocation for that idea. In my second paragraph I talked about a valid reason we should go out of our way to preserve small towns. I'm sorry if my comment gave the impression that I am some type of Nazi who wants to eliminate everyone living in a small town. I have deep empathy for people living in areas where there economic futures and opportunities are consistently getting worse. We can either find a way a fix that, so that it is possible to continue to live in rural areas AND have employment opportunities.... OR everyone will end up living in cities regardless. Much of our political differences come from one group being on an upward financial trajectory and the other group being on a downward trajectory. If our outlooks for the future were aligned of course we would have less differences in regards to political policies on taxation, immigration, the environment or issues like government spending on scientific research.
