Yeah, no, not around here. Most people in rural areas aren't working on farms, the landfills aren't that far out, almost all of the warehouses are closer in to where the majority of people live, the water comes from the city (there are multiple water treatment plants that draw from the river maybe a mile from downtown and send water out to suburbs/exurbs), etc etc etc. You're talking about jobs and uses <10% of people in rural areas are actually doing. The majority of people are instead commuting 40+ minutes in to denser areas where there jobs are. On the other hand, all I hear is propaganda about why cities are awful places and why exurbs/rural areas are so amazing. I'm tired of huge chunks of my money getting pulled away from where I live to subsidize people living these unhealthy, expensive lifestyles.
