That's true, I also like some aspects of large cities, especially on the East coast (NYC).
I was thinking that better politicians because of conciousness of the community towards its own governance, we already do that but very poorly. I don't even know who the politicians are in my own county. No idea what they do and I don't know if we have a local newspaper in our county. May be I should engage in town halls and local politics.
- junon 6y agoI find that the smaller areas tend to have worse politicians as there are less to choose from. I can see it being both ways. Plus, not many politicians in the US at least really seem to care about the thoughts or even the well-being of their constituents. If anything, it's the access to information that would result in better education which would thus (hopefully) result in more informed voters. That would be the real win, in my opinion.
- edgyquant 6y agoI think this is a romantic view. Small towns are, if anything, more corrupt as there are less people and less options. It’s a lot easier to get away with being blatantly corrupt in small town America, at least in my experience growing up in a southern adjacent smallish (~15k people) town.
