Their movement would kill rural just as much as suburbs, and this would greatly harm the country.
- jonp888 4y agoYour comment makes no sense. The suburbs are next to the city, not "many hours" from it. It makes no difference to rural communities if they are there are not, they just go to the city instead, at minimal extra travel time.
- lmm 4y agoThe suburbs by their very nature take more than they give from most services - roads, water, you name it - and push up land prices and tax rates. They don't tend to offer much of what rural neighbours would need - the people who live their are car commuters, so they go to the bank/doctor/etc. in the town/city where they work, and they do their shopping at the big box store on the highway. Self-sustaining small towns - the kind that can support a population that lives and works in the area - are very much in line with the strong downs ethos, and those are the kind of towns that would benefit their rural neighbours too.
