  1. Rural area are dying out everywhere as jobs are in cities

  2. Government meet needs not create them and that really should not change

If your government isn't planning decades into the future, it can't meet any needs at all. It takes that long to build things to address large issues. There's a lead time. If you don't start planning and building well before there is a need, you'll always be late and will be seen as useless.

I guess that does explain the American government actually.

I am happy it doesn’t burn thousands of billions; and hundreds of millions every tear in upkeep so that maybe urbanization stops and people move back to the countryside
