The Enlightened Liberals Who Will Save Us From Ourselves cannot tolerate the unwashed masses living independently without big government and high taxes. This is why rural dwellers are cast in the media as knuckle dragging racists



Interesting take. You realize that suburban living is subsidized by urban living[1]? The suburbs don't generate enough economic activity to be self-sustaining.

Unironically this. If I stay in my big city my projected outcome is nothing but poverty in old age. Once a man stops caring about partying and getting laid the freedom to own something substantial and build on it is the new sirens call.
