Where I live there are tons of small 600-1000 person cities, there is even a nearby county where the largest city (the county seat) is ~3,000 people. They all seem operate without issue. I think you are just biased living in an area with much larger metro areas. One small city near me has been stable at around 600 since the 1860's...
- danso 13y agoThis is true...the area I was talking about was Sacramento County: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacramento_County,_California#Incorporated_places http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacramento_County,_California#I... Isleton, the city of under 1,000, is one of seven cities in the county, the next smallest of which is 60,000+. It is about 1.5 magnitudes smaller than each of its neighbors, which means some of its professional staff (such as the manager) are likely to not live in the community and will have a different dynamic. (I'm also from a rural state where the average city/town is probably about < 2,000.)
